I just tried it on a dummy booking from BKK to HH on 10/9 and it worked first time!!
Maybe the website has been built by the same people that made the 90-day report one. :duck:

Try a date in September?

Don't want to go in September!

The cut-off date is Oct. 2 so it only allows bookings for 30 days in advance.

So the system works, it’s just the 30 day parameter that’s the problem - another Thai quirk that we just have to live with.

Yep, I think there is a thread on here somewhere about backwards Thai IT. 30 days only booking is fine in the low season but will be problematic if you have to use it during the peak period ... though it doesn't appear that the bus company is too bothered.

I've just tried again and the RRCTICKET.COM site is now working for up to 30 days ahead.
It might just be my phone browser but that site doesn't allow me to select a date but if you manually enter it, in the form of 01/09/2023, it works after that.

Yes thanks, I know about the 30 days
Tried to book for someone today and had no luck must be fully booked as I looked for tomorrow and no problem, plenty of availability
Thank you anyway for your reply

Rode the airport bus yesterday late afternoon, the journey took 3 hours 20 minutes with no traffic. Bus was full so you definitely need to book if you want a specific time.

To update this, the Bell Travel website still doesn't work, but tickets can be booked using the rrticket link above.
