The bus and the attendant was amazing. We left Bangkok early but arrived maybe an hour late in Chiang Rai. But it’s ok.
Also, the lady who helped me at your Bangkok office on Sunday, December 11, was very very very helpful. Amazing lady and the gentleman with her in the office.
Thank u!
The journey was absolutely fine. Enough room, air con was good, seats were fine. We had a bottle of water, some biscuits and blanket provided on the bus and stopped at 2am for a free dinner which was included with the ticket. The lack of communication was the only thing that let this journey down. Getting on the correct bus was an experience in itself and I wouldn’t have know anything about the dinner if it weren’t for the nice Thai man next to me who was keeping me updated. I also didn’t know how many stops would be made before mine as I could find a route map anywhere.
On time, they provide water and snack and we had a lunch break that lunch drink was free on the ticket. AC was working and it was pleasant. However it's a good idea to layer up. They also provide blanket if you ask. We had a nice journey
There were so many mosquitos on the bus! As much as we appreciated the chicken burger from McDonald’s it’s not enough food for 12 hours drive. Other bus companies stop at local buffet restaurants to have a proper meal. Also we didn’t stop once to use a bathroom! Otherwise the bus was comfy and took us from A to B on time.
Overall the tour was great. The bus was extra comfy, with blankets, headrests, leg rests and arm rests. Seats were also good. We paid 990 bhat to travel from Mochit to Chiangrai in the Luxury bus. The cost was high, we could have booked a VIP bus. But, as it was the end of the year of 2023, we didn't have much options. Anyway, the bus was very comfy and we didn't feel the usual body pains after the journey. The bus had enough stops to have coffees, snacks etc. Even we were provided with a small sponge cake and a bottle of water at the start of the journey. But the bus was not in time. Although it has to leave from Mochit at 18:15, the bus left after about a delay of one hour. And the delay was there for the entire journey.
Overall the journey was good, the operator and the bus attendant were also good.
The bus journey was comfortable. We were provided a meal as soon as we boarded, I assume this is because we took the overnight bus to allow the lights to be turned off. The meal was chicken and rice wjth a juice. The seats were comfortable but I often felt myself sliding off. It got a little chilly towards the end of the journey but nothing unbearable. Upon reaching our destination we were given a sandwich and milk.
Seat really comfy, they also give you complimentary water and snacks. During the night (around 2 am) there's a stop where you can go to the toilet, and eat (for free) in a cantine where you can also have juice or milk (soy milk available).
Reading the reviews I was expecting to arrive earlier, but luckily we were perfect on time (7.30 at Chiang Rai bus station).
