Pai to Chiang Mai Airport Destination Reviews

I
Bus left half an hour later than stated, then after 45 minutes of driving the driver was on the phone, pulled over on to the side of the road. He then turned around and drove another 30 minutes back towards Pai, not telling us any information on why we had turned around. We picked up 4 locals from the side of the road and then continued back to chiang mai. Horrible journey.

Well, they get you there. And the airco more or less works. And we didn't die, but that's probably just because we were lucky. If you scare easily, you might want another way of getting to Pai. If not, it's fine, even if the driver thinks he's driving a formula 1 car

Decent ride. We have taken this bus like 4 times to and from Chiang Mai-Pai. Yes granted it's a bit of luck of the draw with what bus you get - some are newer than others but on the whole for a bargain price, and about a 3 hour ride with some absolutely stunning views one really cannot complainm

The driver drove to fast and was taking a huge risk by driving very close to other vehicles. Can not recommend to take the ride!
