The trip took a little bit longer than 3 hours but the driver arrived early, he was very nice and he left us as requested at the entrance of the historical park in Sukhothai. Would recommend!

Several buses were scheduled to leave to our destination at varying times so had to ask 3 people before getting the right one. Bus operator offered a bag of snacks on boarding - very appreciated. Stopped 3 times for bathroom breaks - very clear on how much time the stop was (between 15 - 30 mins). None of the 20 baht included food & drink options appealed; but did take the fruit options for our party of 4 (watermelon, guava, pineapple). Bus driver/company representative kindly offered us the stop nearer the guesthouses area as opposed to the bus terminal which was an additional 12km on (although I did later have to go to the terminal as I forgot my phone on the bus and luckily they picked up when I called it and told me it would be at the terminal).

The car was new and very clean. Our driver was on time and dropped us at our destination as estimated. He kept the cab a comfortable temperature and stopped at a very nice, and clean rest stop for us to stretch and use the toilet.
