Mochit to Chiang Mai Destination Reviews

It was poor - average at best tbh. The bus left on time but it got incredibly hot on there in the middle of the day and the air-con wasn’t super reliable. Also there was a women on the bus who verified tickets and we were told we were going to be given free lunch coupons but then she disappeared and couldn’t be found when we actually got to the service station. There was only one stop over a 12 hour bus journey which only last for 20 minutes yet the bus driver pulled over every 30 minutes to pick up random boxes and stuff on the side of the road which delayed us by nearly an hour to Chiang mai. My partner was rudely spoken to by the women working on the bus when she asked if she could use the toilet during a stop at a bus station despite the fact we were there for 10 minutes … the toilets on the bus were pretty much inaccessible. Can’t comment on other buses but the one we got from Bangkok to Chiang mai wasn’t great and will probably spend a little bit more for a better experience next time. But on a budget it does the job and will get you there.. albeit an hour or so late

I would love to only rate this zero stars! It was hot, dirty and I had no space at all. It shouldn‘t be possible to book 3rd class for 12 hours on this train

I wasn't able to get it because I was late. But I think it's a good company.

Flight delay, like it’s normal for this airline. So if you are going to fly vietjetair, you will be late

The seats were very uncomfortable for such a long drive. There was no way to get settled for the 10-hour drive. They were hard, didn't recline enough and the leg rest didn't come up high enough. I've been on many night buses which have been way more comfortable. This was the worse. I hardly got any sleep because of this which has wrecked me for days. The rest was pretty smooth sailing and the staff were friendly enough but the uncomfortable seats really took away from this experience.

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.
