Chiang Mai to Hua Lamphong Destination Reviews

JS
The bus was punctual, they took good care of our luggage and it was very comfortable. We had a blanket, A/C, a lot of space and the toilet was okay as well. The staff gave us water and something to eat (a chocolate bar and a little bread with raisins or something like that). I can recommend it, better than our first night bus in Thailand.

Comfy seats but if you are tall like me (190cm) then the are just okey. Snack were kind of cool. The bus stops in the middle of the night (2am) for dinner. Kind of weird but at least you are not hungry. Recommend earplugs for the ride. Staff are very formal but profesionall

We paid for the supervip bus. In the middle of the way the bus stopped for 3 hours because it was broken and after the 3 hours they switched us to the worts bus ever. It was a nightmare. Not what we paid for.

Bus broke down for 4 hours. No one told us what was going on and we were asked to stay on the bus.

The bus is overall comfortable. I didn't have enough space for my legs so i had to bend them and when i reclined my seat the person behind me told me it was hitting their knees so i had to recline less. We left the station 35 minutes later and got to destination 1 hour later. I appreciated the snacks and water as well as the toilet. Temperature inside was okay.

Not sure how super VIP is different from VIP. The VIP Budsarakam bus was nicer.
