Would be nice to have a longer stop for lunch, but overall it was a good trip. Enough stops and a toilet in the bus.

Really smooth journey. The bus has a toilet on board and does 1 stop for lunch. It's fairly comfortable and the driver dropped us where to get the tuk tuk to the border

The air conditioning was fine, certainly not too cold. They stopped occasionally for a 10-minute break. During the afternoon half an hour. Comfortable travel ????

Pretty decent for the price. We departed and arrived on time. Bus was comfy and not overcrowded. Toilets weren’t the cleanest when we stopped off at various places but it was to be expected, so not necessarily a negative.

Very old bus. Very very uncomfotably cold. The air conditioning is at max level. You really need to cover yourself well, and do not wear shorts !

Even the trip was 7 hours, the bus was comfortable and safe. A bit cold inside. The stops it did where accurate. In phayao we stopped at the bus station and just in front of it we could eat a super good pork soup
