Bangkok to Surat Thani Town Destination Reviews

SS
It got me from A-B but it wasn't great. I had booked a slightly later bus in the evening (so I wouldn't arrive at 5 am) and showed up an hour early to check in as was indicated. As soon as I got there they started chaotically rushing everybody onto a bus which left an hour earlier than I had booked. The toilet on the bus was completely unusable for women, absolutely disgusting. And the stop for food on the way was gross and felt scammy as well. The bus stopped an hour from the destination with a burning tire. We waited for about an hour on board with no communication from any of the driver or employees, and then another bus showed up to finish the route. Like I said, it got me there, but seriously please pick a different company if you're reading this. An experience I would avoid in the future.

Train

Train is a often a great choice for long-haul travel especially if you opt for a night sleeper train with berths which will allow you to sleep all your journey through. To make the most of your train journey, choose the class of your ticket wisely.

Note that there are air-conditioned and fan-only carriages; private compartments for 2 or 4; hard and soft seats.
Though the upper class you get the smoother is your journey, often second class air-conditioned or fan-only sleepers are a good money saving alternative.

Van

Vans are a great alternative - or, in many cases - your only option - if you need to travel overland within one and the same province or neighbouring provinces or states. Vans ply the roads between Bangkok and Surat Thani Town, too.

Things to remember: When travelling by van with huge luggage buying a separate seat for your suitcase or backpack is a good idea. Do not expect there is a roomy luggage compartment in a van - there is actually none and your fellow passengers are unlikely to appreciate your luggage stuck under their feet, alas.
