A wealthy family planned to travel to Kanchanaburi, Thailand. Kanchanaburi is about a 3-hour drive from Bangkok and requires a minibus ride from Bangkok. In order to ensure there is a seat, the wealthy man decided to see where he could book the tickets first to avoid having no seat (laughs).
12GO Introduction
While searching for bus bookings in Thailand, the wealthy man discovered 12GO. 12GO, officially 12GO Asia or 12GO Transport Ltd., is an online travel platform offering a wide range of transportation options. Headquartered in Bangkok, Thailand, the company was originally founded in Singapore in 2012. The company serves over 70 countries worldwide, including Taiwan. It seemed impressive, so the wealthy man decided to give it a try and book a ticket.

Since he had to take the 10:30 am train from Kanchanaburi, the rich man had to arrive an hour earlier to be on the safe side, so he had to take the 6 am train from Bangkok.
You can search on the 12GO website by entering the departure and arrival stations, date, and number of people.
You can filter the trips by conditions on the left, such as mode of transportation, shortest time, and best price.
After selecting a train, you can view the details, travel time, and total fare. This time, the wealthy family will take the Kanchanbure Express.
Then enter all passenger information including phone number, name and passport number.
You can choose your seat! Each minibus can accommodate 24 passengers. Since there aren't many seats, it's best to reserve one in advance.
You can purchase travel insurance. However, since the wealthy person already has travel insurance, this step can be skipped.

After selecting everything, you can make a final confirmation before making payment. There are also added value-added services such as customer support, last-minute cancellations, and itinerary reminders, which is really thoughtful, but unfortunately not free.
Enter your payment information. In addition to credit cards, you can also use multiple payment methods such as Apple Pay and Google Pay.
Payment completed!
After payment is complete, you'll also receive a confirmation email with your reservation details and station information. Note: The email also includes a QR code for your e-ticket, which you'll need to scan for station staff upon arrival. It's incredibly convenient.
12GO Ticket Collection Process
On the day of my trip, I arrived at Mochit New Van Terminal 30 minutes early, following 12GO's advice. It was still dark at 5:20 AM. I found the address in my 12GO confirmation letter, Building D, Counter 8. I scanned my 12GO booking QR code with the counter staff and waited in the waiting area for 15 minutes before the ticket agent handed me my ticket. Yay! I'd successfully exchanged my ticket for a ticket from Bangkok to Kanchanaburi and was ready to go!
