Nelcy KThe service with the bus was excellent but the information on how to find the bus station was terrible. I had to go over a tall bridge twice with heavy luggage

Ewout VAyutthaya to Chiang Mai.
The bus stop was hard to find. The coordinates '14,3351562, 100,6135060' that are shown when you book the trip, make you go to the wrong side of the road (which we learned from locals who helped us). That side is the road to Bangkok. The one nearest to the Citypark goes to Chiang Mai.
Thus you actually have to wait on the side of the Lotus Citypark. And not even directly in front of it, but on a road in the middle of the 4 streets that are there. You have to walk (not fully cross) a bridge to get there. On that street are two huts, don't know how else to describe them, where you have to wait.
--> These are better coordinates for Google Maps: 14,3347984, 100,6130431
The ride itself was decent. We didn't think the chicken burger we got was all that bad and we got a bottle of water as well. There was also a stop kind of halfway where you can get some food at a restaurant or go to a 7/11.
Overall we had a good experience, just that we could've easily missed the bus makes this a 3 and not a 4 or even 5 star review for me.

Eva SI lay flat for a day from canteen food. Something was wrong with the food or drink. The bus was late, but otherwise the journey was uncomplicated.
