Chiang Mai to Kanchanaburi Destination Reviews

Good bus everything looked clean. Left on time and arrived at destination over half an hour early. Seats are very spacious and also plenty of foot room, usb available and we were given water cookies and a packet of drinks just after departure. Bus does stop frequently to let people in and out and in doing so the lights come on as well.
Around 1 o'clock a stop at a gas station with some food and drink stalls and dirty toilets.
In the bus is also a toilet here we have not used.

Goede bus alles zag er netjes uit. Ging op tijd weg en kwam ruim een half uur eerder aan op bestemming. Stoelen zijn heel ruim en ook veel voetenruimte, usb beschikbaar en we kregen water koekjes en een pakje drinken vlak na vertrek. Bus stopt wel regelmatig om mensen in en uit te laten stappen en hierbij gaat het licht ook aan.
Rond 1 uur een stop bij een tankstation met wat eet en drink kraampjes en vieze toiletten.
In de bus zit ook een toilet hier hebben wij geen gebruik van gemaakt

We had taken vip because of the legroom and it was fine. We got a blanket, drinks and food. Only no TV but a shared one.

Wij hadden vip vanwege de beenruimte genomen en dat was goed te doen. We kregen enn dekentje, wat te drinken en eten. Alleen geen eigen tv maar een gezamenlijke.

The bus was on time and comfortable, so bring a neck brace, earplugs and a face mask for a peaceful journey. The bus took a twenty-minute break after 6 hours to eat a meal included in the ticket, and a small bottle with snack was offered. Arrival very slightly late.

Le bus était à l’heure et confortable, prévoir un tour de cou, des boules quies et un masque pour le visage pour un voyage en toute sérénité. Le bus effectue une pause d’une vingtaine de minutes au bout de 6h pour manger un repas compris dans le billet et une petite bouteille avec snack est offert. Arrivée avec un très léger retard.

High standard quality bus. Driver was driving carefully and on time. Max amount of passengers was 30. So there was a lot of space for and in the big comfortable chairs.
