Comfortable bus even with the limited recliner action on the seats and the fact the leg part of the recline did not work on my seat, and good service with snacks and drinks provided. We had the back seats which had plenty of leg room. At the rest stop, you are entitled to a snack or drink to the value of 25 baht, but we didn’t find this out until it was too late and the bus was about to leave as the announcement when you reach the rest stop is entirely in Thai and this information is not given elsewhere. As the reviews say, this bus arrives in Sukhothai at around 4am, not the time stated in the booking. Luckily, Sukhothai bus station is well-equipped with nice, clean toilets and benches big enough to sleep on, so this wasn’t too much of an issue for us as we were aware and they seem to be very used to people spending a few hours there.

Departure on time. Nice snacks and water. Super useful blanket and nice distribution of the people: almost all of us had the side sit available. Anyway, ad the reviews told, arrival 3 Hours before (4.30 am) Leaving the people in the middle of the night. Please, update the arrival time to let everybody plan with the relative hotel/hostel how to manage an arrival in the middle of the night.

The pdf with tickets had everything necessary to find the bus. Nice service, air condicationed and spacious bus. We got a water and a snack (only minus point is that it was a McDonalds with no alternative options for vegetarians). Departure and arrival on time.

I thought I’d share my experience since there are a lot of mixed reviews. I took the overnight bus from Bangkok to Sukhotai historical park. First thing is that you need a physical ticket to board the bus, I got mine directly at the UUA booth close to the entrance of Mochit bus station (just show them the 12GO reservation, they’ll give you one and tell you from which platform the bus leaves). My bus was scheduled at 8:30pm and left exactly at that time. Second, if you are planning to go to Sukhotai historical park (old city) and not the new city, don’t leave the bus at « Sukhotai » station, your stop will be the next one. A lot of people complained that they got dropped off in the new city, which is about 10km from the historical park, but they likely got confused and left the bus too early (most people stop at Sukhotai, so it feels like it’s the last station). And third, the bus arrives way before schedule. I got to the historical park at 4:30AM instead of 7:30AM. The old city was surprisingly lively though, with locals already selling/buying things on the market. I am a solo female traveler and felt completely safe, but just something to keep in mind in case you are not comfortable with being out that early. Altogether a really smooth process, the driver and assistant don’t speak English but were really kind, and the seats are decent with a lot of legroom.

Everything fine except the fact that it left the station 20 minutes before the official departure time. We got there in the nick of time, but 20 minutes before departure.
