This assessment is primarily influenced by the fact that the seat was broken. The backrest could not be locked in place and hung down further on one side than on the other. On a 7-hour journey, this was rather torturous.

Bus had phone charger outlet and we were given nice snacks. Also, there was a toilet on board.

It was really good. The bus ride to Chiang Mai was very scenic and beautiful. The crew on board was also very nice and helpful. We made 2-3 stops where passengers could use the toilet, and they handed out little snacks and water to everyone.

It was already late, and bus came an additional hour late. Not a good experience with children. Busride itself was ok, albeit too many stops on the road and too much light. It served its purpose, nothing else.
