Pro: -Bus was comfortable, cheap and there were even some snacks and water. Cons: -The whole bus smelled like pee once the toilet door was opened. -Unfortunately we stopped multiple times an hour without any obvious reason which led to a total drive time 8 instead of 6,5 hours.

Comfortable buses, strong AC but not too cold as long as the sun is out. Delayed arrival, due to a large part of dropping off passengers at various points of the journey.

We had a great experience using this service! The driver was super friendly and picked us up on time. The car was bigger than expected and the 12go Asia agent was helpful to change our time last minute to accommodate changes in our itenary.

What a great service. Easy booking and great bus ride to Chumphon. It was easy to navigate the bus terminal and found the ticket booth quickly. The lady was kind and helpful at ticket booth, the driver was great and so was the guy loading. We got a snack, juice and water as soon as we got going and we stopped after about 3 hrs where we got a lunch which is included in the price. The ride was comfortable and pleasant. It was a longer ride than expected, 8.5 as opposed to 6.5 but we really enjoyed it and appreciated the friendly service. Thank so much!

The trip was ok, could have been great though. The bus was very comfortable and left pretty much on time. The AC was set well. We got some snacks. The drivers were very nice, they even have us 3 Baht (coins) for the bathroom at the train station, even though there was a toilet on the bus. The toilet on the bus became a problem though. About 3 hours into the ride, there was a bad smell on the bus. Apparently there was an „accident“ with the toilet. We changed buses in the middle of nowhere. The new bus was a lot less comfortable and without toilet. Everyone got 100baht cash back. We did a 20min stop for toilet and snacks. We arrived 2 hours late in Chumphon.

2. class waggon with open windows, and open doors over 10 hours. Train was standing dark areas for 10 minutes many times so all the mosquitos came into the waggon. Very very bad!
