Bangkok to Kanchanaburi Destination Reviews
LP
Lorenzo POld bus, but everything went as it was supposed to. We had the seats that we booked, it left kind of on time, and arrived on time. We were happy with the service.
Just when we arrived at the terminal (first we went to the wrong South terminal, careful because there are two of them, go to the new further one), it wasn't so easy to understand were to check in, for the first 2 minutes. That one wasn't so clear for us, but doable anyway.

Alexander NThe vehicle was not a "Class 2" Express bus as pictured on the website, but a small minivan. Hence the ride wasn't very comfortable.

Johan Hospitality perfect. No airco, hard seat. Now I understand why there are so many massage salons.
