Nakhon Ratchasima to Bangkok Destination Reviews

MT
It was a much better experience on the bus Korat to Bangkok, compared to the railway train. Surprised that there was a McDonalds burger given halfway through the trip. There was a small toilet on board as well

I had seat 1A There was no space for stretching the feet. Very tight, while other seats have much more space. That wasn't good

Price was 100 THB more then if bought at the bus terminal counter. I think 50 would have been a more reasonable margin profit
