Nika WThe bus ride was fine. It was the customer service at the Chanthaburi Bus Terminal that wasn't good. Upon arrival, I was told to leave my bags in a certain area for the driver to pick up later. Then I was called outside and scolded by a Thai woman (brown skin with white paste on her face) about leaving my bags unattended. I felt uncomfortable and embarrassed. Maybe you should talk to your staff about giving misinformation instead of taking it out on passengers.
