Chiang Mai to Golden Triangle Chiang Saen Destination Reviews

D
At First the driver showed up late which resulted in us departing 20-30 minutes late. Second, he took a 15 minute rest stop after an hour of driving at 10:30. Then when we arrived to Chiang Rai he stopped at the White Temple for 30 minutes. The description of the ride on 12go said a 3:30 minute travel from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai. We arrived at 1:40, 1 hour and 10 minutes late, and the drop off was not at Terminal 2 as mentioned in the booking description, it was at the mall in Chiang Rai. The Ride itself was a little rocky and you could feel that the driver tried to make up for lost time.

They took 400 TBH extra from me. Even when I showed them about the policy of the bags which shows 20 kg an 1 cabin bag. But they said it's not about weight but about dimension. Which was never mentioned in the condition while booking the tickets. This is just a loot and misguiding to the innocent people.

Drivers meet somewhere to reorganice minivans and we were dangerously overloaded with lugage stuffed over peoples head. He drove like a lunatic with overloaded van and the suspension almost gave up. Speeding like a formula 1 pilot and almost hit 3 cars. Will never book a ride again with 12 go asia.

The bus was on time and as expected. The only reason for the four stars and not five Is because we are 6 foot tall Canadians and the seats felt a little cramped for us. Overall, it was a good experience and would recommend the green bus service.

Ther driver drove into the parking lot at the White Temple, got out, and said there would be a half-hour break. Then he disappeared. That's completely unacceptable. We and others then ordered a taxi. I can't say when the driver finally left. I become no answere of my complaint

The 12Go service was excellent, and the drive was fine. But with ten minutes remaining in our journey, our driver suddenly stopped at a rest spot near the white temple for “about thirty minutes” so we could “take a little break.” I’m all for breaks, but that makes more sense in the middle of the journey than at the end. It was very clearly motivated by something else, and it added unnecessary time to our trip which had us arriving 45 minutes past the stated arrival time.
