Perfect, but the chauffeur was driving reaaaalllyy carelessly. And asked us at one point if we wanted to pay 100 bath per person to stop at the White Temple. It felt a bit weird as in the car, we don’t know each other and 100 bath per person felt a bit expensive as we were 7 in the minivan. So it was a bit difficult trusting him after that proposal.

The bus is great, but it needs to be checked. The lower part of the seat disassembled when I tried to lift it, so I had to fix it. The head rest was a bit rusty and there was a couple more details like those that should be easy to fix and would improve the experience a lot.
