Kiyomi GIt was hard to find the bus check-in location outside Ban Phe Pier premises.
But I was able to get off at BTS Onnut station instead of Ekkamai bus terminal.
Thank you:)

Tim AThe ride took at least 1 hour longer than expected, because the driver kept stopping at places to pick people up and drop them off. It said nowhere that the bus would stop at all these places. One place was even quite a detour from the fastest route (on google maps), so we had to turn around and get on the correct route again, which took at least 20 minutes.
The bus is okay, if you are lucky to not get the last row of seats, which are 25% smaller than the normal bus seats. There was airco and usb points for charging. The bus also didn't go faster than 80 km/h so this slowed the journey down too.
It's too bad that taking a direct taxi is 10x more expensive, otherwise I would recommend that.

Emmanuel BWe booked a ticket in advance (250 Bahts (+12Go fees and payment fees) instead of 200 if you take it directly at the Pier to go to Ekkamai) to make sure to have a seat in the minibus, but in the end you need to go to see the company to ensure you have a seat. Booking in advance does not seem to guarantee a seat. However, we were very early at the Pier so we were proposed to take a minibus leaving 1 hour before the booked schedule time. This was very good to arrive earlier in Bangkok. Good to know: there are big boats going to Koh Samet and they are way less expensive than the speed boats (60 or 70 compared to 200 Bahts).

Katherine HThe driver stopped a number of times along the route, including about 25 minutes beside the road outside of Ban Phe and the trip took longer than expected. Other than that, OK>

Travelling by bus essentials
- If you are planning to travel during the high season, weekends, or national holidays, booking your bus tickets in advance is highly recommended. The demand is at its highest, yet very often, the number of coaches serving the route remains the same. The earlier you reserve your seat, the better. On some routes, you need to secure your ticket more than a month in advance; on others, a couple-of-days advanced booking is enough. During such periods, try to book online beforehand whenever possible, as showing up at the bus station without a ticket may result in many-hours of waiting in the queue or leave you downright stranded.
- VIP, 1st, Gold, and similar bus tickets are the most expensive option, but they provide a higher level of comfort. Normally the price of such tickets will include wide soft reclining seats, blankets, water and snacks or lunch, and sometimes some toiletries. Upper-class buses travel faster, make fewer stops during the route, and normally provide more spacious seating to their passengers and a better travel experience.
- Not all buses have an on-board toilet, but generally, for all trips longer than three hours, all operators schedule a bathroom and/or a lunch stop. While operators definitely do their best to keep on-board toilets clean, the smell may be an issue sometimes. For longer trips, booking a seat a bit farther from the toilet may be a good idea. Also, using bathroom stops for your toilet needs is always better than trying to find your balance in an on-board toilet on the run.
- If you travel by an air-con bus, make sure to pack layers. A hoodie, a warm scarf, or a beanie hat may prove a good idea. Air-conditioning on buses tends to be excessive, and running nose and sore throats abound after even not the longest bus rides.
- Always use the security belts even if your bus ride attendant or driver does not insist on it. Your safety comes first – for you, for sure. All buses normally are equipped with security belts, but they may be fixed behind your seat. Take time to find the belt and fix it appropriately.
- To avoid being disturbed by overhead lights, switched on during stops even at night, and too loud music or sound from the on-board entertainment system, have earplugs and a sleeping mask at hand.
- As a courtesy to other passengers, avoid using strong perfumes or smelly foods. Some foods like cheeses or durians are forbidden to take on-board – check in advance. Alcohol is also prohibited on the majority of buses.
- Note that if the bus requires refuelling en-route, passengers will be asked to get off the bus. Operators are not allowed to refuel with passengers on board due to safety reasons. Usually, it takes from 5 to 10 minutes and is often combined with a toilet/lunch stop.
- If not stated otherwise in your tickets, arrive at the bus station 20-30 minutes before departure. It will give you enough time to find the departure platform and check-in. For international trips, you may need more time for check-in and border formalities.
