Yin YThe VIP bus ride was great. For additional $10 you got a wider seat and longer legroom for 8 hours and a bit journey. For a 4 seats per row for normal bus VIP bus has 3 seats per row. There was only one stop mid way and the bus reached the destination on time.

Gregory KIt was very good. The bus only stops for 20 mins once at singburi which is 1/3 of the way. So in a 9 hour journey i think another 20 min stop would make it more comfortable. The food at the singburi stop there is nothing vegetarian there so best to carry some food to eat if you are vegetarian.
