Ayutthaya to Chiang Rai Destination Reviews

The information about the meeting point was unclear. The company called while the bus was waiting, but communication was impossible due to very poor call quality. We couldn't reply to the call by text message. The bus left without us because the meeting point was about 100 meters from the bus stop where we had positioned ourselves, according to the map.

Many unknown stops. Pick up at the hotel before time. Pick up from the bus with 20 minutes delay. Arrival with more than 1.5 hours delay.

A tuk tuk must drop us in another pick-up point that was not detailed in the PDF, but everything was OK. The bus was very confortable.

It's a bit surprising to wait for the bus on a highway.
