The 999/VIP bus service from Bangkok to Phuket:

24 seats, 1_23 seating (8 rows)

The seats are ok, they recline. There are snack services and the bus would probably stop 2 ~ 3 times. (No personal video system excepting the view out the window, although many buses do have TV's.) You get a meal voucher used at the stops. I have friends who hate to fly and thus take the bus. As you can see from the frequency of service this is a popular way to travel. (I've taken VIP buses, but not on this route.) This bus would leave from the Southern Bus terminal in Pinklao.
