They offer a snack bag, water and a blanket. But the roof of the bus has been leaking at some points. They offer a short rest at a 7 eleven, to get some snacks/ go to toilet (up to you)

Squeaky sounds, drops from the roof. No notice was given that we arrived at Udon Thani. I missed to get out.

Great trip! Everything was on time and went smoothly. Bus was comfortable (reclining seats and foot rest), blanket provided but chilly at times - bring something warm to wear. Travel pillow would be helpful. Bus makes a few stops overnight to pick up and drop off passengers…lights are turned on during these stops but not for long.

It is called an express bus night but it stops in around 14 different locations and each time they turn on the light. We couldn't sleep all the night...

The seat was comfortable and big and leaned back enough to sleep. The air conditioning was good but not too cold. We arrived on time and left on time.
