VIP bus was great, would definitely recommend. Toilet however was blocked, but that could be the passengers not flushing correctly.

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.
