Frequently asked questions

What if I miss my booked departure?

Most operators allow same-day rebooking onto the next available service for a small fee. Refunds are harder if you no-show. Call the operator or message via LINE as soon as you know to retain options.

How early should I arrive?

30 minutes before departure for buses 60 minutes for trains and 90 minutes for flights at small airports. High-season weekend departures fill faster so add a buffer. Luggage check-in adds time.

Where do I buy tickets?

Official counter is the primary option for cash purchases. Online platforms like 12go.asia handle most routes for foreign-card purchases. Avoid touts outside the official terminal who add commission.
