In some Asian Countries like Thailand Malaysia and Singapore there are some really good services like the overnight buses from Bangkok to Singapore, Manila,to Luzon island and KL. You can find real VIP buses that are full sized buses but that only have 3 seats to a row and the number of rows might be like 11, so you get chaise lounge like seats that fully recline so you can actually sleep on them. they also give you blankets and pillows as well as a little meal usually a biscuit bread and water or maybe a fruit drink.
In China, Cambodia and Vietnam you have some first class services that will have a bathroom on board and they too might give you some sort of drink and bread package. All of the first class buses are air con.
In China and Vietnam I would expect that soon that you will be able to find VIP buses as things are always changing and as soon one bus company puts one on all the rest will follow quickly.
In Laos and most of the countries above they still have allot of 2nd class buses if you are lucky they will be air con but most of them are not if you are going on any kind of a long trip you really need to quiz them closely to find out what the bus type is the least desirable buses have touts and they bold face lie to you to get you on board they will tell you they have what ever you ask for they don't care as after they sell you the ticket they get paid and disappear.
So you need to do some research, a good thing if you have the time is if they have a schedule posted wait at the bus station till the bus that you will be taking in the future returns, and get a eye ball on it and maybe ask the people getting off what there experience was like? It can go either way some buses I though were going to be dogs actually while not perfect did what you needed I have been on other buses that looked real good that were real trips from hell so the personal recommendations are important.
