Nancy, the woman who work at the tara travel agency in bangkok was really kind with me. She had a lot of work but she was kind despite the work. The trip was ok, we arrived at time !

It was a very confusing ride. Our ticket said departure at 6 so we arrived at 5:15 , the woman told us to check in at 5:30. When we attempted to check in at 5:30 she told us no sit down and wait till 6:30 with no explanation. We tried multiple times to ask what about our 6pm bus but again met with no answers . We ended up finding out by other tourist that we were getting on a 7pm bus instead of the 6pm. However, the women made it very confusing and stressful

The bus itself looked a bit worse for wear, but still very comfortable for an overnight trip.
