The AC wasn't working at first but the staff (who were very nice) stopped the bus a few times and brought a technician to fix it. The rest of the rode was pretty smooth, with a 30min stop for food. The AC is very strong, so bring something to cover up. They also bring you a blanket, juice box and bread. We didn't encounter too much traffic, yet arrived to phuket 3.5 hours later than planned, so bear that in mind. Overall, for the cost of it, it was worth it.

We arrived 3 hours late in Phuket. No information in english about anything. The bus did almost 20 stops for only one or two thai people to get out during the trip (but you gave to stay in the bus), it was not indicated in trip information. Toilets are extremely small and quite dirty, almost unusable. Only one stop of 20min for more than 15 hours bus trip. Free lunch around 1pm in local restaurant

Air con only really worth it if your in window seats. Sit at the top behind the stairs or right at the back for best seats. Pre book of your travelling with someone/group to make sure you get seats you want. Drinks provided along the journey as well as the start, also a blanket for sleeping

One of the most comfortable bus rides I have had. However bus arrived about 10 mins late and arrived at destination almost three hours after the estimated arrival time. Operators should update their ETA. We didn’t even encounter issues or traffic along the way yet the ETA was way off.

Things to remember: Note that some of the airlines may have restrictions on checked luggage weight or require paying extra for check-in, choosing seats or transportation of oversized luggage.

If opting for a flight, calculate the time you will spend getting to and from the airports as well as the waiting time before your flight, getting through immigration in case of an international flight and recovering your checked luggage.

In certain cases all these procedures can add no less than 5 hours to your total travel time.

Taxi

Some travellers consider taxi to be the most convenient form of overland transport thanks to flexible departure times, a possibility to choose the size of the car you need, and a hassle-free door-to-door service.

Things to remember: If you are planning to make detours during your trip, discuss it with your driver or service provider in advance as it may affect the price.

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 Phuket, 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.
