Nice bus, seats recline but not super flat
There was a tv screen on the back of the chair - only Thai programs available
Snack and water was provided and a stop at approx 1:30am - for toilet break and food

We took the VIP one and didnt regret it. A meal is served when you enter, and the bus is comfy for a night bus. Like everywhere in Asia, the maximum comfort can only be obtain if you are no more than 5’’, but the overall experience was really good. Also, friendly and helpful staff.
It was very cold but except that everything was fine. We got some thin blankets, food and drinks which was nice. The seats are comfy (I recommend booking last row as you can put the seats almost in a vertical position). The driver went very soft so that sleeping hasn‘t been a problem at all :)
Well it is worth the money - 8 dollars or so that we paid. Many people - tourists and locals travel together. Don't worry about food or drinks - locals are selling food on train all the time. Toilets are ok. Seats ok, well not too much space but managable, everythone gets dedicated seat. Just be sure you are ok to travel so long, like 14 hours! And bring a jacket, it's cold and windy in the early morning, most windows and doors usually open all the time.
Comfortable ride. Bus was on time. Temperature in the bus was oke, just dress warm.
It would be nice if the bus driver would inform us what was happening during the trip. Oke I was informed that we would make a stop in between and we could have something to eat, but the driver did not tell for how long or where to go.
Same with the drop offs. The driver did not tell us at what location we were. You just have to ask yourself and keep track of the location of the bus yourself.
But it was a nice comfortabel ride.
