What it does
12Go brings trains, buses, ferries, transfers and flights into a transport-booking service. Its country and route directories make it possible to explore connections across several Asian destinations, with additional coverage elsewhere.
Begin with the actual pair of places you need to connect, then compare the available transport modes. The homepage’s routes include both mainland journeys and island links, such as Bangkok to Koh Samui or Singapore to Batam. A destination search can therefore be more useful than deciding on a bus or ferry first.
The country directories help when building a longer itinerary: Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia and Sri Lanka have different sets of connections rather than one uniform network. Use the travel guides for orientation and return to the date-specific ticket search for the journey you intend to book. Some route names identify a particular station or pier, so retain that endpoint when arranging accommodation and onward travel.
Check the confirmation method before buying a time-critical connection. Some operators confirm instantly, while others issue the ticket later. The e-ticket badge means a phone voucher is sufficient; other trips can require a printed voucher or exchange at check-in. Follow the instructions on the confirmation and voucher for that operator.
