i have travelled in sombat buses and their service is really good and buses are also really comfortable. i hope they start the same bus for koh samui also. amazing video keep uploading such informative videos🤟🏻
You are a great guide, making beautiful clips introducing the places to visit. including various travel methods I, as a Thai person, are truly grateful.🙏😍 (I also send your clips to my foreign friends. You capture details very well.) Will continue to watch good clips.👍
I took the sombat tour bus from bangkok-hua hin a few times. it's great. it was a 2-1 seat configuration which works well for couples and solo travelers. the bangkok stop was near mo chit (it stopped in the southern terminal too) and the hua hin stop was at a small station near the intercontinental resort. i enjoyed the service they offered. the funny thing was there's a thai restaurant/autoparts store next to the station that share a single shop. so one side of the shop had tables, and the other wall had shelves full of brake rotors etc lol, but the food was delicious. i imagine it's a mom&pop shop, and mom is a restauranteur and pop is in the auto parts biz. they get along together so well, and they're so inseperable, that they decided to keep both of their businesses under one roof🤣 my last time in hua hin was 2018 so this is subject to change
Today, 23 Dec 2023, I am now travelling from Bangkok to Phuket. It starts at 18:30 from Bus terminal -2( Sai Tai Mai). It is a double decker bus. Ticket price 1, 128 Thai Baht per person. Bought the ticket from 1st floor of Bus Terminal.
@@wanderfulstops8488 hi, did you manage to figure out where does the bus stop in Phuket? I was able to book a ticket Phuket to Bangkok in 4 days but don't know exactly which bus station to go from Phuket. 😅
How do they even make a profit😂 128 thb per person even if the bus is full lets say it holds 60 people. That's 7800 thb(225 dollar) !! for that whole journey if you calculate the petrol and pay the staff..
Thanks a lot for this Video man, this really helped me understand my Options. I was afraid to take the Bus in Thailand, I thought it was going to be really bad, this showed me it is actually really nice. The Airlines want to Charge you almost $100 for Checking your Bags, The Train Charges the same price for Sleeping Cars as an Airline Ticket, now I'm thinking the Bus is really my Best Option. Thanks!
Hi @genes2311, can you please help me how to book this bus? I went to Sombat travel website but they have 3 seats in a row bus and not the 2 seats in a row that's shown in the video. Much appreciated!
Before you plan for bus, must remember, take enough food with you(bus provides 1 bottle water, 1 piece cream bread and one small chocolate drink). Out of 12 hours journey, they stop only for 20 minutes for free dinner(obviously menu is not good at all) after 6 hours beginning of journey.
Yeah, right dude! Bring one part of each: Korean chichen, Subway, a bunch of cupcakes, bubble tea and Starbucks cheesecake and latte machiatto and rest between each meal, no activity! Gosh! Are you kidding or what!? Bus company free dinner is far enough man! Typical light snack for road journey. Please respect passengers by not using toilet. This is awful to get people scentS when leaving toilets. Most of time those are tourists...but rhis is an another issue.
Some people's like sight seeing while on bus ride, some others want to try the first class bus experience, as long as you got enough vacation time, why not ?
I'd guess you haven't traveled around Thailand very much. Every little town looks the same and few highways go through scenic areas. This trip was just pure retardation. Must have been sponsored by the bus company.
I regularly travel in thailand. I absolutely detest domestic flights, cause they often end up wasting the day. This is a perfect way of having a relatively decent overnight, on first class transport, and getting in nice and early at your destination. Its not perfect, but for me, better than flying.
yeah, i can see the appeal in this.. check out late in bkk, get a good meal and get on the bus, get a good long rest on the bus, wake up somewhere in krabi or something and enjoy the sights for the rest of the ride. by the time you get to your phuket hotel, it's check in time. you save the hotel expense for a night. i havent had the pleasure of flying domestic in thailand in years, but ever since they got rid of thai smile airways (my personal favorite), i'd imagine the choices you're left with aren't so good. plus you have to leave your hotel ooohh maybe 4 hours before takeoff due to traffic. chances of flight delay are kinda high. plus baggage fees. arrive in hkt, deal with the phuket taxi mafia. you cant go straight to the hotel, you have to get a high pressure sales pitch about shows and tours first at some random office on the way to the hotel
I'm just courious about the temperature! I like south-east asia, except one thing, they alwaxs set the airconditioner to -30° , terrible, like in Syberia. Today I traveled by BTS and almost died :D
You can call their support and press 0 after to change to English support, and you can book - they will ask your name and passport ID, then you can go to 7/11 to pay the ticket. You will be given a reference number for that.
Can someone help me how to book this bus please? I went on their website, but the booking is not available in english, then I tried the translated version by google, but it's not working, I keep getting an error message when I try to book. How did you guys do it?
Nice video and well narrated with good information. You were good with the time stamps until you got to the end and didn’t mention the arrival time! We know you arrived after 6:20am but what time did you actually arrive at terminal 2 station in Phuket?
Thank you for the video. Very good impression, cool seats! But 1.85 is not tall in Europe.....what is the seat pitch? Toilet looks worse then an airplane.....too bad.
Today is 21 Sep 2024, I came from Phuket Bus Terminal 2 to Bangkok Southern Bus Terminal. The bus looks as it is BUT in the middle of the road the VIP SUPERIOR bus had Engine problem so we were SHIFT to another bus which was not of this BUS condition but that is also called VIP . So before you book ticket look on to it because we heard this Superior VIP bus changes in the middle of the road.
@@pauldyoutube Thanks for the list. There are so many interesting things along the road. I sawsome steampunk large dinosaur statues in Nakhon Sawan along AH1, but was not able to stop (since I was not driving) but next time, I need to check it out .
I hadn't heard of this bus company until I saw your video. This is the most spacious bus seat I've ever seen.
very detailed video well done i hope to be taking this route later in the year if all goes to plan
EXCELLENT WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DELUXE BUS 🚌
It's very nice alternative for who is afraid of flying🍓 it's looks very comfy too.
Thank you🍒

ARMADA BUS DI BANGKO SANGAT MEWAH. Bagus untuk berpergian yg mau santai dan sambil lihat pemandangan di jalanan.
Bus yang sama dari Phuket ke Bangkok... Kita kira berapa ya rate nya
This is the way. To go . And for me the cost is ok . Its just that it is a long time on the bus but maybe sleeping will be ok .
Such a nice bus!
Thanks for sharing!

Nah. Don't eat or drink too much or you'll have to use that toilet at the back of the bus
Yeah, right dude! Bring one part of each: Korean chichen, Subway, a bunch of cupcakes, bubble tea and Starbucks cheesecake and latte machiatto and rest between each meal, no activity!

No one eats at night, just sleep and that's enough for traveling at night.
This video is a good one, I like it.
Some people's like sight seeing while on bus ride,

why not ?
