Chiang Mai to Udon Thani Destination Reviews

LL
The seat was comfortable and big and leaned back enough to sleep. The air conditioning was good but not too cold. We arrived on time and left on time.

Overall ok. But if I would sleep 10 minutes more. I probably miss my stop. No soap in the toilet, no usb port for charging. The sits are very comfortable for sleeping.

The overall experience was okay. I got the overnight bus from Chiangmai to Udon Thani But be aware no English speaking staff on the bus. Also the bus doesn’t actually go to Udon Thani but an out of town station. I have traveled around Thailand by bus a lot and you can usually see online start and finish bus station. Long story short. When I realized I had missed my stop and was heading to busses final destination. I managed to get the bus to stop and got dropped off on busy road but managed to get taxi back to udon Thani. Also the bus had an accident with a car that night we had to wait 3 hours for a replacement bus. But no communication to say what was happening. And be aware that no charging point usb etc. many other long distance busses do have. But all part of the traveling fun lol

Very comfortable ride! They provide water, juice, and cookies and even a blanket. The trip was long and overnight but I was able to sleep. You are dropped off at Udon Thani Central Arcade (shopping mall). Know which bus terminal you have to leave from (if connecting). You can walk to terminal 1 but may have to tuk-tuk to the others.
