Thanon Chira Junction to Bangkok Destination Reviews

PS

It was fine. I’m just not personally a big fan of long road journeys and travelling after dark meant most of the journey was literally in darkness inside the coach.

As usual I sadly have to say that the time estimate on this trip are completely incorrect. When the site says the trip are estimated to take around 3 hours, the truth are more like the double of that, included a rest stop in Nakhon Ratatchima. And 6 hours are unfortunately a lucky guess too. Yesterday the trip took more like 7,5 hours, which is normal, with the traffic in rural Thailand and even more in the city of Bangkok, unfortunately this is more of the usual way than an exception, but it’s really is how life in Thailand are, Sabai sabai..

Was a super great trip from Nakhon Ratchasima to Bangkok. Easy to understand the bus terminal, where to go, I exchanged my ticket without any problem. They had a "lounge" that was slightly air conditioned. Bus was comfortable (especially that they had 2 +1 seating) and we even got free water and a mcdonalds burger halfway. I didn't try the toilet, but I believe there was a toilet on board. Would definitely book this company again!

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
