Because you can sleep on the bus only in the sitting position.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The seat can be inclined backward about 40 degrees. If people are sitting behind, you would set the seat back maximum with 20-30 degrees to the vertical.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Unlike the 1<sup>st<\/sup> and 2<sup>nd<\/sup> class train (sleeper cabinet), you can lay your body completely. But with the train, <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">you need to be aware of where you are right now and not miss your to-get-off station. <\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The overall advantages of the train sound ok compared to the bus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Still, there are some advantages to traveling by bus compared to train in my opinion. Number one is, that the views along the roads are much better than along the train platform.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Traveling from Bangkok to the South of Thailand only takes place at night whether by bus or train, <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">so at night you will see more things beside the roads like the lightning of town, buildings something like that when you cannot sleep well (You definitely will).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Especially when you drive in the cities of each province between Bangkok and Surat Thani (Samui belongs to Surat Thani). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You might see the night markets, street foods, nightlife, fabric, buildings, and houses.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">While on the train, only the lower beds have windows, even though, you will see nothing but only fields beside the platform and there is no light to make it visible.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The train will not drive through the cities in most provinces. Also, the train ways are made beside the cities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The second significant advantage of but is the internet. \u00a0On the road, the internet is very much more stable than on the train way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In my experience, I have no problem with the internet connection entire the way traveling by bus. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">But on the train, as mentioned the train way is built along the fields far from town, and more spots are disconnected from the internet signal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you look YouTube on Train, the lagging will disturb you almost every 15 min.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The next\/3rd advantage is that you can skip the van because the bus from Bangkok will bring you to the ferry pier directly unlike traveling by train, <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">where you have to take the van from the train station to the ferry pier which consumes 2 hours in extra.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-859649171\">\n\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1605731031\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\" style=\"background-color:rgb(142, 209, 252);\" >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Bus<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-1605731031 > .col-inner {\n  padding: 19px 6px 4px 20px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">For the bus from Bangkok to Don Sak Pier, I would recommend the VIP class (24 seats) only. The reason is, <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">normally the VIP class busses have massaging seats, these can help you a lot with 10 hours traveling.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">You will think of it when you are on the bus. For me, it can reduce the tiredness of 20 \u2013 30 %. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Compared to the price of the VIP I have to pay more bus it is worth. VIP 24 seats means you will have more legroom and more ability to bend the seat backward.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Be careful, these VIP 24 buses can be fully booked very fast since many locals also hate tiredness, they also love to travel with VIP 24 buses. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">The good news is, that there should be plenty of VIP 24 buses in Bangkok\/ Bangkok \u2013 Surat Thani direction.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">However, if you come to book a VIP 24 bus at the terminal directly, you have a look at all bus providers\/companies, and no seats are available.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> The VIP 32 seats are also okay so far since they contain the massaging seats like VIP 24 but just smaller legroom.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Important, there are plenty of bus providers operating buses from Bangkok to Surat Thani city, but few bus providers operate the buses from Bangkok to the ferry pier directly. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Samui island is not near from Surat Thani city. It takes about 1 hour from Surat Thani city to the ferry pier.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">One of the common bus providers (Bangkok to the ferry pier directly) is Panthip.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Departure<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">There are 2 bus centers in Bangkok, one is for routes in North Thailand called Mo Chit and one for South routes called Sai Tai.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Since it is too busy in the bus center hall containing many ticket booths for each bus company, <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">the booth staff are trying to make sales, and imagine there are over 50 booths or providers there.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Hence, I would recommend that you do some homework or study first, which bus company you want to travel with. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">To prevent wasting time shopping for bus providers on the spot.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Destination<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">To Ferry pier namely Don Sak Pier.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"row\"  id=\"row-758905594\">\n\n\n\t<div id=\"col-1904816087\" class=\"col small-12 large-12\"  >\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"col-inner\" style=\"background-color:rgb(142, 209, 252);\" >\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ferry<\/span><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n<style>\n#col-1904816087 > .col-inner {\n  padding: 19px 6px 4px 20px;\n}\n<\/style>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\n<\/div>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Many Bus providers do offer you a combo ticket, an all-in-one both for bus and ferry.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">This option is suitable for those who don\u2019t want to arrange every single ticket by themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Many people questioned, will the ferry be fully booked normally. Yes, for cars. But should always be welcome for people who travel without a vehicle. I never heard that the ferry is full of personal passengers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Or if you are concerned about this, then book a combo ticket from Bangkok. You can make a comparison of how much would the combo ticket cost more than 2 single tickets.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">If you prefer the combo ticket, please check which the bus provider which ferry does he offer, Seatran or Raja.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Some bus providers are partner with Seatran and some are partners with Raja. Seatran ferry will deliver you to Nathon Pier and Raja ferry will bring you to Lipa Noi.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #000000;\">Summering table<\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"113\">\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Vehicle<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"113\">\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Ticket price<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"173\">\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Duration<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"113\">\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Bus<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"113\">\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">900<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"173\">\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">10 hours<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"113\">\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Transition<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"113\">\u00a0<\/td>\n<td width=\"173\">\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">20 min. &#8211; 1 hour<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"113\">\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ferry<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"113\">\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">150<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"173\">\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">1 hour and 30 min.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"113\">\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Sum<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"113\">\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">1050<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<td width=\"173\">\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Ca. 12 hours &#8211; 13 hours<\/span><\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Let\u2019s remember it again<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Overall, there are 4+1 choices to get from Bangkok to Koh Samui sorted by price and convenience descending.
