Bus is a convenient way of travel no matter whether you need to get to a neighboring town a couple of hours away or venture further afield crossing the whole country. Whatever your budget, buses have you covered. Express buses offer the most affordable ticket price for travellers who have very little money to spend. VIP options are geared toward those who do not want to compromise on comfort. Before you jump on a bus, make sure you choose the type of service which suits you best. For a long-haul trip look for a VIP or first-class coach which provides non-stop service to your destination or just call a minor number of stations along the way. Express or local buses in many cases may prove an acceptable choice for shorter trips, but longer rides are often not the best buy. Study the timetable before going as many long-haul destinations are served by night buses, and some offer wider seats or sleeper berths for such travels. Make an online reservation for your bus ticket with Go Ho Travel. Other travellers’ reviews will help you to choose the best ticket and coach class.

Go Ho Travel Top Destinations
Go Ho Travel buses ply a number of routes and here is the list of some of the most popular ones:
One of the best things about bus travel is that you can almost tailor-make your trip adjusting it to your requirements for privacy and comfort. Different classes and types of buses cater to the different needs of travellers. The cheapest trips are normally offered by standard-class buses. They may be called local, express or ordinary. These are a good choice for shorter trips. Sleepers or VIP coaches are good both for longer and overnight trips. They may offer berths or wide soft reclining seats, sometimes with built-in massage options, blankets, soft drinks, and snacks, or more substantial meals on board or during toilet or refuelling stops. Travelling by night buses allows you to save on a hotel room, but to ensure the most comfortable ride do choose the class of your bus wisely. Prices always depend on the distance you ride and the type of coach. For some, even shorter trips, it is worth investing some extra money and buying a seat on a VIP bus as it can save you twice as much time as you spend travelling by an ordinary bus.
Travel by Bus: Pros & Cons
Pros of Bus Travel
Bus is the best choice to get to destinations that are not connected by rail or planes. The network of buses often covers almost the whole country, and their routes are well and long-established.
Opposite to air travel and sometimes rail travel, taking a bus does not require arriving at the bus station much in advance. Check-in, even on international routes, does not take much time. Luggage allowances are usually very traveller-friendly, and the fee for extra luggage, if limits are set, is normally not very high.
Bus tickets can be more affordable compared to air or fast train tickets. There is always a choice of ticket classes for all pockets. Cheaper standard options may be a bit slow and do not offer top comfort, but anyway acceptable and bring you to your destination. On longer routes, toilets or toilet stops as well as snacks, water, and sometimes toiletries and blankets are almost always included in the price.
If you are ready to spend more, some VIP coaches offer seating comparable to business class on a plane with wide soft reclining seats, blankets, fewer passengers, and many other perks to make your trip a pleasant journey.
Cons of Bus Travel
Newer intercity bus terminals are very often located out of the city close to bigger highways to allow buses to avoid city congestion. Unfortunately, it may create extra challenges for travellers, too. Getting to such a terminal may be a problem as in some destinations there are restrictions on vehicles allowed to enter the terminal, and you will have to use special carriers to get there. This results in higher costs as prices may be inflated. Also do calculate extra time if you are travelling during rush hours, especially if you are not familiar with the traffic situation at your starting point.
Buses are probably the means of transport which runs out of schedule more often than trains or planes. They are heavily dependent on the road situation which sometimes can be unpredictable – accidents, road construction works, detours, etc. This is especially true for travels during weekends, high season, or national holidays. Do keep this in mind and do not plan tight connections.
Travelling on certain routes or during the most popular periods may require advanced booking. Bear in mind that it is not always possible to show up at the bus station and hop on the next bus – tickets may well be all sold out, so organize your trip accordingly.

The reviews scared us a little bit but the journey was so good! Bus was there before we were, only 4 people on a massive bus and it stopped half way through for a toilet break! Would highly recommend

The seats in the middle are a bit uncomfortable. The driver doesn’t speak English. They did’t give us the seats I chose.

The driver was courteous and drove safely. Only problem was, we were dropped off far from siem reap center, and left with tuk tuk drivers who offers 2x the price of Angkor Wat tour.

We booked a minibus VIP and at the end, we went with a private car with a woman and her child. A little bit small the space but comfortable enough, and we arrive 1h early, so at the end it was great!

Fast and reasonably comfortable. We made multiple stops and picked up or dropped off various packages but we got to siem reap on time. We were going in 7 seater van which was fairly comfortable for 3h journey.

2 stars because we made it alive and on the same day we had hoped. It was late 3 hours but they warned us of that due to traffic. The driver also was a bit reckless. The pick up process after crossing the border was very confusing and not organized. We lost 2 members of our group. But again; we made it somehow! If you’re high strung and anxiety ridden maybe spend the extra money on a flight or for a luxury transport business. If youre a very go with the flow person, this was cheap and it gets you there.

The bus up until the border was fine, but after crossing into Cambodia I was put in a car with a family. The driver kept making stops the whole way there so ended up getting to siem reap nearly 2 hours later than expected. The driver also picked up two locals so the car was very cramped. Not what I paid for.

People were very friendly. Before the border we had a van, after the border we got a private car with a chauffeur.

ca. 15 Min. zu früh abgefahren; Es ging mit einem privatem Auto und keinem Van bis zur Grenze, wo wir selbst den Grenzübergang beschreiten mussten. An der thailändischen Seite mussten wir das Fahrzeug wechseln (nun in einem VAN mit mehr Personen als zuvor). Ich konnte nicht meinen gebuchten Platz (1. Reihe) nutzen.

We turned up at Go Ho travel with 25 mins to spare before our departure date. Spoke to someone who worked there but he didn’t seem to have any idea about our bus. When it got to half 1 which was when our bus was meant to depart, no bus was to be seen. So I asked again, where is our bus. After he made a few phone calls to his ‘boss’ a random car pulled up and he advised that this was our ride to siem reap. I questioned it as it wasn’t a company van. He got be on the phone to his boss and he assured me, the driver would take me and my partner to siem reap. Anyway, that was the case. So 30 mins later we were on the road. The ride was comfortable but it was very unprofessional and slightly stressful overal experience. Especially when you’ve paid for it all already and your bus doesn’t even turn up.
