About Nakhonchai Air

Buses are the most affordable means of transport with a large number of terminals across the country and convenient timetables to help you plan your trip. Buses is a convenient option both for those who travel on a shoestring budget and those who do not want to compromise on comfort. Nakhonchai Air offers bus service with an online reservation available. Before booking your ticket, read other travellers’ reviews to choose the best option.

What are the Main Stations of Nakhonchai Air?

Nakhonchai Air operates buses to and from the following stations:

  • Mochit
  • Chiang Mai NCA Bus Terminal
  • Nakhonchaiair Station Bangkok
  • Khon Kaen Bus Terminal 3
  • Nong Khai
  • Buriram
  • Chiang Rai Nakhonchaiair
  • Udon Thani Nakhonchaiair
  • Mahasarakham
  • Rangsit Nakhonchaiair

What are the Bus Classes & Prices of Nakhonchai Air?

The price of your bus trip will depend both on the destination and the class of your ticket. Note that not all ticket classes are available on certain routes yet for longer trips there is almost always a good choice of options. Opt for a sleeper coach for the most convenient overnight trip. Sleeper buses are usually equipped with berths or soft reclining seats, feature an onboard toilet and your ticket may also include other perks like snacks or even a lunch. Taking a night bus is also a good idea if you want to save on your hotel room. During the day an express service is often the best value for money as it makes less stops than an ordinary or standard class bus and travels faster. On some routes it may be crucial to choose the right class as, say, an ordinary or second class bus may need some 6 hours to cover the distance the first class or express bus travels in two hours!

Pros & Cons of Bus Travel

Pros of Bus Travel

  • Buses usually boast the widest network of destinations covered. They travel to the places you cannot get to by plane or even by train

  • Travelling by bus is easy – there is no need to arrive to the bus terminal much in advance, and the check-in is usually a very fast formality opposite to air travel

  • Bus tickets are very affordable. Yes, there are costly first class or VIP options but is you are on a budget, bus is the first means of transportation you have to think about

  • At the same time, there are different classes of service to suit any budget. If you are after a higher level of comfort, buses get you covered, too.

Cons of Bus Travel

  • Intercity bus terminals can be located outside the city centre in the outskirts. It means you will need to calculate extra time and money to get there. In certain destinations getting from the bus terminal can cost you more than you would expect because only a limited number of transportation companies is allowed to serve the route – and prices may be inflated.

  • During busy weekends or high season buses serving some tourist destinations may run out of schedule and require advanced booking.

  • While buses are not as weather dependent as ferries, bus trips can also be delayed or cancelled due to bad weather or road conditions – keep it in mind if travelling during certain seasons or to certain destinations.

The service was great! The seats are comfy and you get food and drinks. You can watch movies on the screen but they are all Thai and dont have subtitles. The toilet was clean. The only con is that you cant choose your seats. I was all the way in the back and sat on top of the motor. My seat was vibrating the whole time and because we were all the way in the back we felt all the bumps in the street. The streets are very bumpy. If you tend to get carsick, i definitely recommend taking some pills with you.

To be honest we did not have high hopes at the sound of a 10 hour bus that did not include beds, but my boyfriend and I were pleasantly surprised! We had a smooth and comfortable journey, with food, recliner seats, and a bathroom on board. Easy to navigate and check in. For the price, we have no complaints

First, we arrived at the Nakonchai Air station and we realized that it was the wrong station. Thankfully, the staff of the station, very kind, changed the station of departure so we didn't have to go to the original one. We booked a first class bus and it was really great. The seats were really confortable and could be almost horizontal, without disturbing the passengers behind. We could really rest (they turn off the light and there are curtains) They gave us blankets and there was even little screens like in planes (with games, music and films in thai), but we personally did not use it. They gave us water bottles, a snack (little drink and biscuits), a diner (little sandwitches) and another little drink just before arriving. The toilets were clean and we even arrived 1 hour in advance. The diner is light so I recommend you take some more snacks in a 7-eleven before. For the rest, I really recommend this trip !

I wish we had booked directly with the bus company, because using 12Go does not allow for picking seats, so we were not seated together. The busses this company uses have dated quite a bit over the years and are not as clean or impressive as they once were. We also arrived an hour late, which was strange as there was no traffic. Still relatively a better experience than some other public busses.

The bus departed a bit late but we still arrived on time! I booked a First class bus from Bangkok Mochit station to Chiang Mai. Everything was smooth, they provided snacks like a sandwich, chips and water. They also were super attentive. The AC was on the whole trip so it didn't felt hot inside, and they provide blankets to everyone in case you're cold. Toilets had what needed and there was reclining sits with screens (which I didn't used but seemed to work fine). I was able to sleep for most part of the trip, as they turned off the lights and made it comfortable for the passengers. The staff at the desk were also very helpful and spoke well English. Would definitely recommend if you're thinking of traveling by bus through Thailand!

The bus departed a bit late but we still arrived on time! I booked a First class bus from Bangkok Mochit station to Chiang Mai. And then a gold class/normal class for the way back For both trips everything was smooth, they provided snacks like a sandwich, chips and water. They also were super attentive. The AC was on the whole trip so it didn't felt hot inside, and they provide blankets to everyone in case you're cold. Toilets had what needed and there was reclining seats with screens (which I didn't used but seemed to work fine). I was able to sleep for most part of the trip, as they turned off the lights and made it comfortable for the passengers. The staff at the desk were also very helpful and spoke well English. Differences betweent the normal and First class is: First class: -You get your individual seat without having to share row. -seats feel more premium as they have a tray table, but on both classes they recline, have screens, usb port, snacks and blankets. -Toilets are better on the first class as they are a bit bigger/cleaner. Basically the only big difference is the individual seat (without having to share row). But otherwise they're mostly the same. Would definitely recommend if you're thinking of traveling by bus through Thailand!

in 1 word perfect, why ? because of a 7 hour drive to Uttaradit sitting in a very comfy chair. i am 1.94 tall so most chairs are not ok for me. Nakhonchai Air gave me a very comfy ride and even slept for a few hours. the first class is for me the best so ever and even better as the train. although the train is faster ............

I got on the bus in Rayong. There was only 1 twenty minute stop just before ,10pm. We got to Chiang mai at 09.30 am, which was an hour and a half late. Overall the bus driver and staff on the bus were lovely and very helpful.

It is probably one of the best bus rides you could get on the Bangkok-Chiang Mai route. Quite a bit of leg room and reclining seats. The bus felt a bit outdated, but it is still quite comfortable. There are a few simple things that would make this journey better. Like wifi in the bus, or at least one quick stop in the middle. Because the toilet gets quite stinky over the almost 11h bus ride, also the entertainment system/ screen was very old, there are movies but for watching you need your own earphones. Another thing what bother us was that the girl working as a server in the bus was racist against my partner.. Polite customer service would be something to think about..

Nice and spacious bus on the first class. Lots of room and lovely staff member. Will use again. We have used this service a few times now and apart from arriving an hour late it is excellent. Also it doesn’t matter to arrive late as you are very comfortable anyway.

This is a really terrible bus company. There was no proper vehicle inspection, and the departure time was not accurate. Now the bus has a mechanical problem and the trip is being seriously delayed. There is still no replacement bus yet. The problem started at 9:30 PM, and now it is already 12:51 AM. This situation is extremely bad and unacceptable. I strongly do not recommend this bus company. Do not take this bus line.

Il viaggio di per sé é andato molto bene, ci sono stati dei problemi con la location della stazione. Fate attenzione a quale stazione di Mochit, ce ne sono due e considerate bene i tempi perché sono 5 km l’una dall’altra mi pare. Con il traffico ci si mette un bel po’. Almeno che non vogliate provare la mia stessa esperienza in motorino senza casco con gli zaini ai 100 km/h, per correre a prendere il bus alla stazione giusta! Per mia fortuna il bus era in ritardo! Enjoy:)

The trip to NongKhai was amazing. The operator gave us loads of food, wonderful! The lounge there at Nongkhonchai Station was great and The seats on the bus were so comfortable with massage function. The air gets cooler as it departed. If only the management team could fix where our head placed, that would be great. The neck was hurt after I slept for an hour. Apart from that, that experience was A star, first class.357032724567E+24; Will take this bus again. Great work!

The streets were bumpy which is why we had trouble sleeping. But the bus was comfortable (toilet on board) and the staff was very friendly.

Too strong aircondition. No possibility to turn off. I got a cold.
