Chiang Mai to Huay Xai Destination Reviews

SE
We had an issue that needed immediate action in the hospital so we could not do the whole trip. They've taken such great care of us and were even willing to bring us back to the border a few days later free of charge. I highly recommend this company! The bus itself was super comfortable and there were plenty of toilet stops.
