Our driver was excellent! It was such a long late drive too. It was such a late arrival that we accidentally missed tipping him. We will try to book another ride within the company so that we can follow up with a tip

The bus was really clean and great to get a bottle of water and she. We stopped the driver came down the bus giving wet wipes. A really nice touch. Journey was comfortable and felt very safe the whole journey despite road works and two accidents on the road.

In the beginning there was a tiny misunderstanding about the itinerary, but that was quite easily fixed bij the host via Whatsapp, who did his utmost best to help us. I would recommend this service, especially since the pick-up is at your hotel, what is very convenient.

Great modern bus but no electrical chargers for phone and the driver didn't explain the number of stops in Chiang rai so I wasn't sure when I was going to get off.
