Great communication, kept us informed and updated every step of the way, even arrived slightly early but didn’t rush us in anyway and waited until we were ready. Take very good care of us, felt like travelling in luxury with all the little attention to detail. The drive was also so smooth so we slept pretty much the all way through. Super friendly and absolutely lovely, would 1000% recommend.

Really easy journey. Our driver was happy to change the start time as we were ready 2 hours early. It was tricky to find the hotel entrance but the driver made sure she holiday and dropped as there.

provided with water and a wipe, once people get off at chiang rai the vip seats at the front of the bus became available so we could sit on them and they were very comfy. toilet on board. you don’t really stop anywhere for lunch so make sure you bring snacks. they drop you at the side of the road to get tuktuk to the boarder and it was all a very easy and smooth experience.

Would be nice to have a longer stop for lunch, but overall it was a good trip. Enough stops and a toilet in the bus.

Things to remember: When travelling by van with huge luggage buying a separate seat for your suitcase or backpack is a good idea.
