Very very dangerous driving between Chiang Rai to Chiang Mai. 160kph around bends, overtakes around blind corners etc. Do not recommend at all. Book the GreenBus instead, it may take slightly longer but you will live to see another day.

The backs of the seats of the bus are extremely curved and very uncomfortable. I assume the design is to fit a short person, but it warps the backs of taller people. I'm only 180 cm tall (5'11") and it was a really painful journey due to the seats.
