About Terminal Green Pai
While some travellers feel skeptical about vans, a good choice of destinations and competitive prices make vans one of the most popular means of transport for others. Vans are always more flexible than big buses. If there is a sudden request for rides to some new destinations, van operators are always the first to offer their service. Indeed, it is easier to launch a new route if you operate a vehicle of 10-15 pax capacity, isn’t it?
Terminal Green Pai operates van service and offers tickets with easy online booking. Check them if you are looking for options to travel by van.

Pros & Cons of Van Travel
Pros of Van Travel
- Vans often reach the destinations where neither buses nor trains travel. These include secondary towns and smaller villages
- In most cases vans are the fastest way to get to your destination if travelling to relatively short distances overland simply because they are smaller than buses and more maneuverable
- Vans can let you get off at a more convenient point enroute – not necessarily at the terminal, what actually can save you loads of time and money in some cases.
Cons of Van Travel
- Some vans can be quite cramped with limited space for luggage available. Well, actually almost all vans offer limited luggage space and if you have more than one bag, suitcase or backpack, it may be a good idea to buy a separate seat for your luggage – yes, you will pay double for your trip, alas
- It is worth checking if your van runs on schedule or leaves when full – in the latter case you may end up waiting too long as on several routes it can take quite a time for a van to fill up.
- You should know that van drivers are notorious for their speedy driving. Even the most reputable companies sometimes fail to persuade the drivers to respect the speed limits. Even if your van driver does not insist on it, always buckle your seatbelt while travelling by van
- If you easily get seasick and your trip includes winding stretches, chances to feel motion sickness are higher while travelling by van than by bus. Take your medicine half an hour before your trip to be on the safe side.

Samuel Wchaos. You have to get off the bus at one border, pass through, back on another, get off again, pass through the laos border, then back on another bus. felt like being herded sheep. Laos border tried scamming us for "stamping fee" on passports, no support through the border passage etc as we had evisa's so staff focused on those getting visas on arrival. Just told "wait for my friend" at the other side of the border, no way of knowing who this was and he didnt know our names either, very little real organisation and so much potential to have gone wrong. Bus wasn't particularly comfy either. 15 mins late

Alexander BThe coach from Pai - Chiang Mai was nice, spacious etc. however our driver stopped in Chiang Mai and put us onto a different coach to Chiang Rai which was packed, we were put in the very back and had to split 1 seat between 2 of us for several hours as the bags were taking up the boot and the other chair space, very uncomfortable and hot

The driver's driving was too aggressive, making the journey quite unpleasant. Otherwise, we arrived on time and even early.

India RArrived at the terminal and was immediately told that we wouldn’t be allowed on the bus unless we paid extra for our bags, which we asked for further clarification about due to the fact we’ve taken probably a dozen bus journeys over the last two months, and haven’t had to pay extra once.
Then the man in charge came over and begun screaming in our faces, physically intimidating us and accusing us of being liars.
He said we were lying about paying for luggage even though we’d never said that, he’d just misunderstood us and immediately gone mental!
He told us we weren’t allowed on the bus even when we tried to give him the money and essentially he left us stranded in pai alone.
The man most likely wouldn’t have spoken to two men like this but, as we were two young girls he essentially bullied and verbally berated us.

Kelsie JThe first bus coming into chiang mai from pai was extremely comfortable and spacious for the 1.5 hour journey it took. However the second bus we got moved to driving to chiang rai which is longer roughly 3.5 hours was not so comfy and felt very squished. Seats were very verticle and no one had room to recline the seats. The driver was super nice and always made sure to tell us if there was a longer stretch with no stops ensuring everyone to get snacks/ bathroom breaks if needed before. Overall it was a good experience and felt safe. Good cheap option to get from Pai to chiang Rai! Would do it again.

Roxanne PMini van was really hot.
Has a few stops, but felt really dragged out with a change of van halfway, then a fuel stop, plus the original 2 stops…
Fine with leaving on time and arrived pretty much on time.
Drop off point is a mall in the middle of nowhere on a highway.

Huw WReally good company. They help you through the laos border and was a smooth transition. MAKE SURE YOUR DOLLAR OR CURRENCY YOU PAY FOR IS FLAT AND PERFECT. they will not let you in otherwise. If you can get your hands on dollars it's the best rate. The bus from the border to the train is very bumpy so be prepared but as far as the company they are very good and I would recommend using them. The staff are great and very kind and you get a lunch included, which is never a bad thing.

JoAnna MWe made it safely to our destination. The driver was fast but kept us safe. The van was not very clean but comfortable enough. We were allowed 4 luggage and had 3 luggage and 1 wheelchair. So we thought that would all be covered for the 4 as paid and listed when booked. I was unhappy to have to pay an extra 200 baht for an assistive device.overall ok experience.

Francesco CThe car was a bit smelly like food and vape, and quite old. Also, the driving style was a notch too aggressive for me: it made us arrive early, which was great, but it did not feel completely safe during the drive. Pickup was 15m late (still arrived one hour before ETA though).

Malena BThe driver was so lovely. Went from chiang mai to the Laos border, took 6 hours in total with 3 stops along the way. I can’t fault the driver, I felt very safe. I was the only person going to Huay Xai, everyone else was going to chiang rai, so spent the remaining 2 hours on my own. Amazing service! Got picked up at 7:15am the next day with a tuktuk and I was guided on what to do. Everything went smoothly! The slow boat was amazing and I HIGHLY recommend, the scenes are incredible. Definitely get yourself outside on the front of the boat to really take everything in. 10/10

Shaun MBecause we stopped at the White temple for half an hour while a passenger (who had paid to see it) went to look around it. Not the paying passengers fault but everyone else had to wait 30mins, while we were only 20 mins max away from the final destination. No food break or toilet break needed (alreafy had one) , no mention of this stop on tickets etc. We took our bags off the bus and got a cab. Be aware when you book with this operator that they do this , so the trip will be in excess of 4hrs easily

Dorian JAt First the driver showed up late which resulted in us departing 20-30 minutes late. Second, he took a 15 minute rest stop after an hour of driving at 10:30. Then when we arrived to Chiang Rai he stopped at the White Temple for 30 minutes. The description of the ride on 12go said a 3:30 minute travel from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai. We arrived at 1:40, 1 hour and 10 minutes late, and the drop off was not at Terminal 2 as mentioned in the booking description, it was at the mall in Chiang Rai. The Ride itself was a little rocky and you could feel that the driver tried to make up for lost time.

overnight hotel was creepy and the hotel room was a bit disgusting.

Mary PThe 12Go service was excellent, and the drive was fine. But with ten minutes remaining in our journey, our driver suddenly stopped at a rest spot near the white temple for “about thirty minutes” so we could “take a little break.” I’m all for breaks, but that makes more sense in the middle of the journey than at the end. It was very clearly motivated by something else, and it added unnecessary time to our trip which had us arriving 45 minutes past the stated arrival time.

Nicole TLeft on time, drove around and picked up a few other people in town before heading off. Had one stop between pai and chiang Mai at a cafe. Switched vans on the side of the road a bit outside of chiang Mai to head to chiang rai. Also stopped for a bathroom break halfway here. The morning van for this company includes a stop at the white temple which isn’t mentioned anywhere and feels like a waste of time since most people plan to visit it some other time. Arrived 30 minutes late. Overall a fine experience but wish we didn’t stop at the temple or have to go back in to chiang mai

Stephan VThere was a big lack of communication between the passengers and the operators. For example, half way through the trip, the bus suddenly stopped and we were told to switch to another bus. We didn’t understand why and when we asked the operators, they didn’t provide any explanation.
When we arrived in Chiang Rai, the one operator started demanding 40 Baht from each passenger. When I asked why we had to pay additional money, he just very aggressively said “for my services”. To this day I don’t know why we had to pay additionally to what the trip was.
The passengers felt very uncomfortable with the operators.
