Chiang Mai Airport to Phuket Destination Reviews

AS
One of the most comfortable bus rides I had in Asia. Seats are extremely comfortable and the ride felt quite quick. We also arrived 2h early. In contrast to what another comment said, there was a USB charging outlet by ny seat. They're not lying about the temperature though. It was extreme even for this part of the world and the blankets thy gave us didn't help much. I'd recommend wearing layers

A long drive but I slept for the most part. Stopped 3 or 4 times in total and 2 meals are included. You get a blanket which is nice. Seats go pretty far back and are comfortable. There is also a usb-port for charging your phone. 24 hours are over before you know it.

Easy and fast check in at Chiang Mai, very friendly staff in the plain , just in time starting and 20 min earlier arriving at Phuket! Luggage claim was also fast. We can fully recommend the airline and have just booked the next flight with them.

Not made clear when bought online that only hand luggage was free and that check in luggage was charge as extra even though mine was under 15kg. Check in on the day at the aéroport was even more expensive! No basic drinks or food provided free of charge. So overall, ticket cost ended up 3x more expensive than other much better company. Very disappointed than it was not made bold clear when bought ticket online.
