A good trip. Arrived 6 am 2 hours before expected. It would be better if they tell you how long is the break and they are very strict about it and it seemed shorter than 30 mins.
The seats were comfortable, and felt quite spacious. The snack and water were okay. Strange little buffet in the middle of the night. But would use this service again.
The bus was fab, seats lay right back and the blanket was nice! I had enough leg room and the snacks were nice too! Journey was 2 hours shorter than scheduled. Would definitely recommend :)
Great bus journey, went so smoothly & the bus was really new & clean- only improvement could be the food but it’s not their fault it’s the service stations
The ride was really good! Everyone was really helpful when trying to find the bus and it was clear which bus to get on at the station when we were directed to it. There were snacks, water, coffee, a blanket, phone charging station and a toilet on the bus. The seats were great! So much leg room and space in the seat to move around and get comfortable. They also recline back a fair way so you can sleep easier, the only bad thing is when the person in front reclines, you have less leg room and it feels like they're in your lap when you're sitting up. The bus says it has free wifi but I couldn't work it out and there wasnt any information about how to get it working. My partner and I had a big bag each which we could put in the luggage storage under the bus for free. Arrived at 5:30 which was a bit earlier but overall a really good experience and a super easy way to get to Chiang Mai from Kanchanaburi!
A much more comfortable experience than a sleeper train as they actually turn the lights off and the air-con isn’t quite at the same Arctic temperatures, but worth wearing a long sleeved top and longer trousers. The seats recline nicely and are roomy. The snacks on board are good and they provide you with Pepsi and water (and coffee in the morning if you’re awake) but this is provided without a smile and the hostess we had spoke barely any English. They also don’t translate anything into English on the tickets or meal vouchers so for us and a group of bewildered Norwegians, we had only the reviews of previous travellers to go by! But overall, a good service and I would rather use an overnight bus than a train in the future. We also arrived about 2hrs early.
Bus was very good, a lot of space, we were there at 5h30 am, snacks ans water on board and you get a ticket for a free meal at the stop. The only negative thing was that the ac was to cold, so take a sweater with you. You get a blanket but it was still to cold
Very comfortable journey. Large seats that recline far and have good leg support. Blankets, cold water, drink and snacks provided. Bus is heavily air conditioned, so wear long pants or skirt. Food stop around 1.30-2am (food included in ticket). Thai hostess didn’t speak much English, but one of the other passengers helped us translate. Was gently woken up by hostess at 6.30, 10 minutes prior to arrival. Best night-bus experience so far. Very professional. You can by tickets online here, or buy them at the bus station (booth 14) for 50tbh less. The travel agencies in town don’t know about this night bus.
Good way to travel this distance, lots of space clean buses with stop on way, snacks. Bit cold at times and as not specifically a tourist bus hard to know what’s happening with length of break etc. But overall good option.
VIP is the way to go. Large, comfortable seats. Water and snacks. Port to charge your phone. Bring lots of layers, it was super cold with the AC.

Gemakkelijk gevonden. De busrit was heel comfortabel. Brede stoelen die ver naar achteren kunnen, met airco en dekentje (wat nodig was want de airco was koud), drankjes en snacks. Rond middernacht een stop, waar je met een bonnetje een maaltijd naar keuze kon halen. Eerder dan gepland zijn we aangekomen in Chiang Mai.
Excellent bus trip. Superb service.
My only disappointment is that I found out afterwards that much cheaper buses do the same journey but weren't offered as an option on 12goasia.

De VIP bus is goed te doen. De stoel was fijn en er was genoeg ruimte voor mijn benen.
Midden in de nacht eten had ik niet echt de behoefte aan.
Bus was great, we got all we were told we would get. However the stop off had only one vegetarian option which was tucked away in a corner and was just tofu soup and due to taking a while to find, we didn't have time to eat even half before the bus was calling us back. If you are going to wake up at 2am for a meal, you want to at least be able to eat said meal. Otherwise fine and got us in 2 hours before schedule.
