Chiang Mai to Hua Lamphong Destination Reviews

BF
My arrival time was delayed in 1h (chiang Mai to bkk 15h30) which made me lost my transfer to another city. Furthermore, no plugs on 2nd class and bathroom really bad. However, the landscapes alone the way are really beautiful and are worth it! My bad review is because I was so much affected by the delay arrival time.

Not super… Last carriage in 3rd class would say best one of all - beautiful view out the back of the sunset and nice to be so close to fresh air! Still would heavily recommend not booking 3rd class honestly seats are uncomfortable and CRAMPED! But if you book last min like I did and have no option, maybe get some gummies to help you through….

The bus doesn't necessarily leave on time, and the person in charge of passage was unpleasant! We had to take the plane, the bus had to stop to let people on just before the airport, but we couldn't get off because we had to pay all the way to the terminal! We did, however, get off at a gas station a few kilometers before the terminal! As for the seat, we were at the bottom behind the driver but we had to put our feet askew because they didn't fit between the seat and the driver's cab! 11h of bus like that, it's not pleasant at all! Be patient!
