Unveiling Phuket’s Shores: A Smooth Ride with Sombat Tour VIP Bus
Dreaming of a tropical escape to Phuket’s pristine beaches? Look no further than Sombat Tour’s VIP bus service for an affordable and comfortable journey!
Budget-Friendly Luxury:
My recent adventure from Nonthaburi to Phuket on Sombat Tour’s VIP bus (priced at a budget-friendly 1,112 Baht, roughly 26 USD) was an eye-opener. The 14-hour ride was surprisingly smooth and enjoyable, thanks to the luxurious amenities onboard.
Booking Your Escape:
Securing your ticket is a breeze. You can either visit the Sombat Tour office in Nonthaburi (conveniently located near Bang Krasor MRT station) or book online through their website or platforms like 12Go or Bookaway. Booking online lets you compare prices and schedules across companies, while booking directly offers flexibility and might be better during peak seasons.
The Epitome of Comfort:
Prepare to be pampered! Sombat Tour’s VIP bus is a haven of comfort. Imagine spacious single seats, adjustable for reclining, leg rests, and customized thigh support – perfect for catching some sleep. Each seat boasts its own entertainment system, individual AC control, a reading light, USB and C-type chargers, a massage function, and a call button for the onboard stewardess (yes, you read that right!).
A Smooth Journey Awaits:
My journey began at 4:30 PM from the well-organized Sombat Tour office, complete with waiting areas, restrooms, vending machines, and luggage storage. The staff efficiently checked my ticket and ID, providing a snack bag for the ride.
The 800-kilometer journey involved two well-timed stops. The first one in Bangkok allowed passengers to disembark or board, while the second stop in Surat Thani provided a delicious (and included) buffet dinner break.
Entertainment on Wheels:
Back on the bus, I enjoyed a wide selection of movies in English and Thai on the onboard entertainment system. The comfortable seat and provided blanket ensured a restful night. The bus maintained a pleasant air conditioning level, and a clean restroom was readily available.
Reaching Paradise:
My Phuket adventure began at 6:30 AM upon arrival at Phuket Bus Terminal 2. Located in Phuket Town (around 15 kilometers from Patong Beach), I easily navigated onwards with local buses – a 15 Baht ride to Phuket Town followed by a 40 Baht ride to Patong Beach via the Blue Bus.
The Final Verdict:
Sombat Tour’s VIP bus service gets a thumbs up from me! It offered a cost-effective and hassle-free way to travel between these popular Thai destinations. The modern, well-equipped bus, friendly staff, punctuality, and reliable service make it a top choice for budget-conscious travelers seeking comfort and convenience. So, if you’re planning a trip to Phuket, consider taking the scenic route with Sombat Tour!
