Fast, efficient travel from Chiang Mai to Chiang rai. Telephone ticket sufficient. The station is well laid out and the Green bus staff explain where to wait. Everything is written on the buses, so it's pretty easy. A small bottle of water is provided, which is appreciated. A little legroom is missing.

Really swanky VIP bus. Loads of leg room, banging AC, free bottle of water and snack, clean toilet on board and we arrived nearly an hour before expected. Brilliant

Our experience with green-bus was great. But with 12go asia not so much. We were charged more than what green bus charges for and also charged for an insurance we didn’t even accept to buy.

The bus was 35 mins late, however we quickly boarded and headed off! The bus was so spacious and had comfy reclinable seats! We got given a bottle of water, snack and sick bag. I would recommend!! :)
