Driver very helpful ; when reached Pak Chong he stopped for us at a taxi stand and suggested we take a taxi there to our hotel. He did not take us straight to the Van Station. Beware : there is no Grab service in Pak Chong.
We arrived early like they ask and was put on an earlier mini bus which was great. Traffic was good and stopped halfway for toilet break and the trip was faster than expected. Driver was nice and chatted to us
We arrived one hour before departure for checkin and were seated in an earlier Van so we had no waiting time - great. The seats had no legroom - uncomfortable but expected, so not a problem for three hours drive. We booked a luggage seat which was not used - but better having it than needing it. Van arrived on time, driver told us when to get off.
The driver was very helpful and friendly. He made sure that someone was coming to pick me up at Pak Chong and waited with me. However, we left Mochit New Van Terminal 30 minutes late without any explanation, and at the end we arrived at Pak Chong with 1h late. So, for a trip of almost 2h40 on the road normally, we took 4h (and the traffic conditions were very good). In addition, it was written on my e-ticket to come 1h in advance, which I still don't understand why. It just made me wait 1h30 in total at the van terminal in the end.
They found us at the terminal, directed us to the waiting area. The price was better than taking a private taxi. The Van was a little hot in the back but there was a fan. The A/C could have been better. We arrived at our destination earlier than expected.
