Chiang Rai to Sukhothai Destination Reviews

The first bus, 7:30, was cancelled. This bus involved a transfer 2/3 of the way. There were many stops along the way. The route took 9 hours of travel. Too long, especially when it was said to be 6-8h.

Excellent service, I strongly recommend. The operator's team had sent me all the details about the car and driver in advance, which was very helpful. The driver was very friendly and very professional. It was a very smooth and comfortable drive - thank you!
