They made us wait 1 1/4 hours in the bus to fill up after the leave time. We were supposed to leave at 1 pm and didn’t leave till 2.15.

The van was broken 3 times on the highway so the passengers has to get their own taxi. The departure time was 1 pm and the van came to the terminal at 2 pm.

The driver was one hour late. While we were waiting on the bus, he was drinking coffee and smoking. When we finally left, he drove like a maniac — we honestly thought we were going to die during the trip. I counted four times when it was truly critical, and we could easily have had an accident. After this morning’s experience with such dangerous driving, we’ve decided never to take a bus in Thailand again — it’s just insane.

Bought ticket online. Difficult to locate ticket office at Ekkamai Station for check-in. Could use a more visible sign. Comfortable bus. Exactly on schedule.

Bus came on time. The journey was relaxed and comfortable. Only downside - the guy at the station is trowing the luggage as it's his mother's in law dead body.
