The journey was smooth and on time. The ticket is very misleading as i thought I'd booked to chiang rai but it said mai sae. Turns out it stops in chiang rai en route but it doesn't say this anywhere and 12 go were not helpful. .

No information or announcement made to passages on bus whenever bus stop at stopover station. Rather confusing for all those first time taking the services. The ride was above average .
