Mochit Bus Terminal to Chiang Mai Destination Reviews

The bus departed a bit late but we still arrived on time! I booked a First class bus from Bangkok Mochit station to Chiang Mai. Everything was smooth, they provided snacks like a sandwich, chips and water. They also were super attentive. The AC was on the whole trip so it didn't felt hot inside, and they provide blankets to everyone in case you're cold. Toilets had what needed and there was reclining sits with screens (which I didn't used but seemed to work fine). I was able to sleep for most part of the trip, as they turned off the lights and made it comfortable for the passengers. The staff at the desk were also very helpful and spoke well English. Would definitely recommend if you're thinking of traveling by bus through Thailand!

To be honest I didn’t have high expectations of a 10 hour bus journey however I was blown away by the service and quality of the journey. I was travelling by myself so I was a little nervous but I felt so safe the entire time. We were provided with water and snack and at the lunch spot we could exchange our ticket for free lunch which was delicious. The seats fully reclined back and I slept majority of the journey. I enjoyed it so much would definitely do again.

Overpriced (not sure if it's 12Go upcharge) for the service and quality of the bus/ride. Upper deck very bumpy, hard to sleep. Usb charging not working. Bus was clean, blanket water and snack provided.

(1) my leg rest adjustment wasn’t working (2) the AC was making the space too cold (3) the blanket was too small to cover me fully (4) they took the blanket away too soon, much before the arrival

The seat was confirmation but tight. Hallway was tight too making it difficult to walk. The bathroom in the bus was absolutely not usable by women. There was a bucket with water on the side of the toilet. You could not when try to sit. If you cannot wait it would be terrible.

It is probably one of the best bus rides you could get on the Bangkok-Chiang Mai route. Quite a bit of leg room and reclining seats. The bus felt a bit outdated, but it is still quite comfortable. There are a few simple things that would make this journey better. Like wifi in the bus, or at least one quick stop in the middle. Because the toilet gets quite stinky over the almost 11h bus ride, also the entertainment system/ screen was very old, there are movies but for watching you need your own earphones. Another thing what bother us was that the girl working as a server in the bus was racist against my partner.. Polite customer service would be something to think about..

It was a smooth and mostly comfortable journey, however our second bus driver was quite rude and drove quite recklessly.

Travelling by bus essentials

  • If you are planning to travel during the high season, weekends, or national holidays, booking your bus tickets in advance is highly recommended. The demand is at its highest, yet very often, the number of coaches serving the route remains the same. The earlier you reserve your seat, the better. On some routes, you need to secure your ticket more than a month in advance; on others, a couple-of-days advanced booking is enough. During such periods, try to book online beforehand whenever possible, as showing up at the bus station without a ticket may result in many-hours of waiting in the queue or leave you downright stranded.
  • VIP, 1st, Gold, and similar bus tickets are the most expensive option, but they provide a higher level of comfort. Normally the price of such tickets will include wide soft reclining seats, blankets, water and snacks or lunch, and sometimes some toiletries. Upper-class buses travel faster, make fewer stops during the route, and normally provide more spacious seating to their passengers and a better travel experience.
  • Not all buses have an on-board toilet, but generally, for all trips longer than three hours, all operators schedule a bathroom and/or a lunch stop. While operators definitely do their best to keep on-board toilets clean, the smell may be an issue sometimes. For longer trips, booking a seat a bit farther from the toilet may be a good idea. Also, using bathroom stops for your toilet needs is always better than trying to find your balance in an on-board toilet on the run.
  • If you travel by an air-con bus, make sure to pack layers. A hoodie, a warm scarf, or a beanie hat may prove a good idea. Air-conditioning on buses tends to be excessive, and running nose and sore throats abound after even not the longest bus rides.
  • Always use the security belts even if your bus ride attendant or driver does not insist on it. Your safety comes first – for you, for sure. All buses normally are equipped with security belts, but they may be fixed behind your seat. Take time to find the belt and fix it appropriately.
  • To avoid being disturbed by overhead lights, switched on during stops even at night, and too loud music or sound from the on-board entertainment system, have earplugs and a sleeping mask at hand.
  • As a courtesy to other passengers, avoid using strong perfumes or smelly foods. Some foods like cheeses or durians are forbidden to take on-board – check in advance. Alcohol is also prohibited on the majority of buses.
  • Note that if the bus requires refuelling en-route, passengers will be asked to get off the bus. Operators are not allowed to refuel with passengers on board due to safety reasons. Usually, it takes from 5 to 10 minutes and is often combined with a toilet/lunch stop.
  • If not stated otherwise in your tickets, arrive at the bus station 20-30 minutes before departure. It will give you enough time to find the departure platform and check-in. For international trips, you may need more time for check-in and border formalities.
