We payed 500 Bhat more than the normal prize. We arrived 30 minutes earlier and were not awake. So it took some minutes till we collected our belongings in the bus. When we went our, our Backbacks layed in the dirt and puddle. Everything was wet. They spoke no word english.

This IS a better place to sleep than a plane! The airconditioning is pretty cool/cold the whole way, so bring warm clothes. The polyester blanket is not sufficient for everyone ;-) We got cookies as a snack, and water and cola. Over all we think this was a good choice!

Our first long bus trip in Thailand and it exceeded expectations. Very comfortable bus. Given water and snacks when first on bus plus a food voucher for the service station break. As well as the driver, there was a very attentive 2nd driver on the bus who made sure people were knowing when to get off, giving water out etc. Toilet clean which was a bonus!
