Pai to Chiang Mai Destination Reviews

SM
Tony the driver was kind and courteous, arrived early and encouraged me to finish my beer before we left. His English was excellent, and he gave me loads of good information regarding places I’ve been to in Thailand and places I’m going. Overall it was well worth the money and a very pleasant experience. Thoroughly recommend.

Was a bit of a last minute booking and the staff was incredibly responsive and helpful and the van arrived on time. Driver was friendly and felt safe, and the van took us door to door.

Bus left half an hour later than stated, then after 45 minutes of driving the driver was on the phone, pulled over on to the side of the road. He then turned around and drove another 30 minutes back towards Pai, not telling us any information on why we had turned around. We picked up 4 locals from the side of the road and then continued back to chiang mai. Horrible journey.
