The bus started on time, however there were so many pickups and drop offs on the way, that we arrived 45 minutes after the estimated arrival time. Some delay is okay for me, but I had to ask my follow up shuttle, that I ordered for 11:30 (so 30 minutes after the expected arrival time) to wait for me…
The van I booked didn't exist. We got the next one ok though. Departed as per schedule on our later van. It stopped in all sorts of places. An annoying speed limiter alarm kept cutting in.
The driver was fine and helpful. The van arrived late at the destination.
I would hopefully go by train next time.
We took the Chumphon to Prachuap Khiri Khan bus service on 19/06/25 with Monsiri Travel. The bus left on time but arrived about 30mins late which is not a big deal. There were many stops along the way to pick up other passengers which was probably why we were late.
The van was dirty inside with mould in the interior. AC seemed to be fine and seats were fine. However there was either something wrong with the van or the driver because it was like riding a kangaroo! Almost like he was bouncing his foot on the accelerator pedal. This happened pretty much all the way. He was also distracted on many occasions, drifting around on the road and weaving in and out of traffic. Not a safe driver I would say.
Good but no toilet stop. Driver spoke no english which is okay but you get dropped off somewhere very far from lomprayah pier (if travelling to islands) and no taxi service nearby??? We ended up having to go to a nearby hotel and paying high price for van to pier.
The bus departure was 45 minutes before the schedule. What is the point of announcing a departure time then? The driver even asked me to finish my breakfast inside the bus.
Hmm... I think you guys seriously need to get a more accurate schedule from the bus companies.
I had an 08:30 departure on my Booking Voucher. No such thing. They depart on the hour.
We actually left earlier than we expected to and got there at the same time that we were scheduled to. The area you load up seems a little sketchy, but they know almost enough English to get you where you need to go. The ride was a van, so comfort isn't the top priority but the price was right. The issue I found with this ride was the constant beeping from the driver sometimes to warn other stupid drivers but sometimes to pick up people on the side of the road (and sometimes some goods). I don't know if that's a normal thing, but I would have appreciated knowing that we would stop and pick up customers throughout the trip, but maybe that's just my ignorance. We did get dropped off exactly where we needed on our ride instead of simply at a terminal, which was a feat plus.
