Chiang Khong to Chiang Mai Destination Reviews

Bus driver was excellent and seemed like he really cared about his job. Ensured passengers are onboard and got off at their stops. Very good man!!

Chiang Khong to Chiang Mai (09.30am bus) The bus is pretty old and rattley. It’s obviously the locals bus as I was the only foreigner on it and we stopped approx 5 times for drop offs and pick ups. The driving was pretty hectic at first but seemed to calm down a bit as we picked up more people! I guess the 10.30am bus is the foreigner one and also gets in to Chiang Mai at the same time even though leaving 1 he later. Bus looked better and newer too so if you have a choice, take the 10.30am one.
