Really easy way to travel, clean bedding provided & friendly staff. Slight faff to have to collect the ticket not from the train station but easy to do so and then get the underground to the station

The bus ride was 13hrs total from Bangkok- Chiang Mai Thailand and I have no words to complain. During the entire ride most of us slept all through the night besides when we stopped to recharge with free food and drinks provided by the bus company. 10/10 trip and the staff were always so helpful and nice (even when I thought the bus left me running around scared lol!)

It was a ten hour trio. We were given a bottle of water and a weird chili bun at the beginning. The AC barely worked so I was hot. The bus stopped every hour or so for the drivers to have a smoke break. This caused the bus to be an hour plus late while staff at my hotel waited. When we stopped for dinner they only allowed 20 minutes which was extremely rushed. We were not offered a blanket or anything else. Overall poor service.

Fans on my side of the car were not working. One side was freezing cold, which I prefer, my area was moderate. Smell of gas,,probably because of the fan not working, also made it hard to sleep.
