Overall - would recommend this overnight bus for people who don't want to fly
Pros - comfortable temperature (I wore a hoodie and wasn't cold at all), given a bread roll at beginning of ride, left on time, bus didn't play any music (unless you count passengers who think it's okay to blast music from their personal phones, so rude!), announcements and lights went on just a few times during the ride so was able to get some sleep, no announcements/lights between 1-7am which was good for sleeping, bus stopped at 21:30 for a quick dinner of noodles in soup when you show your ticket, USB port for charging between seats
Cons - smelled bad, no dividers between seats and the person next to me kept sliding onto my seat, the seats go far back which is great for comfort but makes it impossible to get up if the person in front of you put their seat back and you want to get up to use the toilet, bus clock was about 15 minutes off, arrived an hour after expected arrival time

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 was on time, seats were comfortable with charges near them (but pretty old - USB-A), head/neck support and leg support and with blankets.
Very comfortable bus, helpful staff, water and snacks provided.

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).
The bus was on time and we had a pleasant ride. We even got dinner and breakfast, we did not expect that. With the seats you could lean back so that a sleeping position could be taken.
There is a blanket, but you should still dress warmly because the air conditioning is running all the time.
