Bangkok to Mae Hong Son Destination Reviews

SR
Everything was good - timing, the snacks, temperature controls for each passenger. Only thing is, one of the drivers over night was driving very rashly. I think there was another driver in the morning and he was driving a lot better. This why I give it 5 instead of 5 stars. My rating is not impacted by this - The road to Mae hong. Son is windy and steep in places. Please carry motion sickness pills. This
