Vanda SHORRIBLE COMPANY. AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!! I booked train tickets 2 months in advance and chose the “send to hotel” option. (In Bangkok, ONLY physical tickets are accepted on long-distance train rides—and if you buy via 12Go you are STUCK relying on them to print out the PHYSICAL tickets.) Well, 12Go NEVER sent the tickets to our hotel, then failed to RESPOND TO ANY EMAIL (I sent 7 emails total over the past week asking what to do as my trip was coming up). There’s no telephone or WhatsApp resolution number, no customer help line. Out of 7 URGENT emails I sent over the last few days, they responded to ONE saying they “will” send the tickets to our hotel (this was sent the DAY BEFORE our trip, and they failed to respond to my follow-up email asking “WHEN” and “HOW” would the tickets be delivered. There’s also ZERO MENTION on our confirmation emails or on their website that there’s a help desk located at Chatuchak MRT Station; I found out about it via Google; I tried my luck and arrived there a few hours before our train was due to leave—and luckily they were open. The girl at the counter claimed the tickets were delivered to our hotel last week (NOT TRUE—the hotel had been on the lookout for it all week, and if they really sent me anything, where was the confirmation email indicating delivery??). Wasting more time, 12Go failed to re-print the tickets for me at the help desk, then took 25 minutes to find photocopies of the physical tickets so that I could get them printed later at the train station.
Buy your tickets directly through the train or ferry company—you will save time, money and sanity!

Karen JWe had a strange trip. First with a bus to another pier. After that we had to walk quite far with the luggage to the boat. Had yo take it downstairs in the boat. It was very busy. We stopped on Ko Samui and after that on Ko Phan lang. They said that we would have a change of boat there, but that didn’t happen. In the end we arrived more than half an hour too late.

Antonella Our trip from Bangkok to khao Soc went exactly as it should. We arrived on time. Seats were ok and reclined quite a bit. The only down was that the sheet in front was a little too close. But still more comfy than an aeroplane.

Thomas WBoat was hot and crowded and getting on and off took forever, which wouldn’t be problem if we didn’t have to switch boats halfway. Was also an hour and a half late.

Aleksandra BThey couldn’t find our booking, tried to convince me that we booked the wrong month (I didn’t), weren’t forthcoming with information or help. In the end the porter guy (who was amazing) resolved the issue and eased my mind in the meantime.
The boat was absolutely freezing

Aimee RWe booked a ticket from tappee pier to ko Tao. We weren’t sure with what kind of vehicles this would be but at the check in the woman explained the first part would be with bus and the second part with boat. She also told us we would have to change boats at ko panghan, but when we arrived there the crew told us to stay on board which was a bit confusing (we didn’t end up having to change boats). The journey itself was fine. The sea was rough and made us very sick but that’s not on the company so I would recommend this!
We did have a delay of 2 hours because of the rough sea.

Matthijs Booked a vip seat. That compartiment, and the whole interior of the ship for that matter, is very poorly maintained.
