onctual. Good general conditions in 2nd class with fan. Clean toilet. Nice in the morning, very hot in the afternoon. Many stops between Pak Chong and Bangkok, journey a little long in time compared to the distance.

This was an easier experience than I thought. The instructions were simple. The address was in Thai so I could show it to taxi driver. As an an added benefit I arrived earlier than anticipated and was put onto an earlier bus. This bus had a stop outside my hotel which the Bus staff told me about and informed me when I arrived at the stop. A real bonus. Highly recommend.
