Don Mueang Airport to Ubon Ratchathani @ bus, flight Aug 27, 2017

We travelled with the night bus from mochit to ubon. Despite some bumpy roads it went pretty smooth. We got blankets and a complementary bag with water and two snacks. The bus arrived and departed on time.

Bus broke down. Rode was uncomfortable and bouncy. Got no sleep at all.

Pleasant

GOOD - Modern, clean, spacious bus, and a relatively smooth, quiet ride. Decent snacks and free water, but still recommend you bring some of your own if you're on a long trip. I took the overnight bus from Bangkok to Ubon (long trip). Good blanket (not itchy, and not too short). Very good personal audio/video entertainment screen with headphones. No one already sitting in my assigned seat. Overall, one of the best buses I've been on. (my advice is to book early and get seat at front window on upper level (good leg room and nice shelf to prop up your feet, if you wish). BAD - Even with my overhead air conditioner turned off, my feet were still freezing. Couldn't figure how to turn off floor level A/C, or if that's even possible. Seat was very comfortable, at first (good recline angle, soft seating, adjustable headrest), but the longer the trip took, the less comfortable it became. I chose to go the Wednesday night before a long, four-day holiday weekend. Bad idea. Most of Bangkok decided to leave for Issan that same night. Between the traffic, bad weather and road construction, it took nearly 15 hours(!) to reach Ubon from Bangkok, which is normally about a 9-hour bus ride. We left around 9:20pm and arrived in Ubon just before noon. In the first six hours alone, in stop-and-go, bumper-to-bumper traffic, we hadn't even reached Nakhon Ratchasima! I'm sure this wasn't the driver's fault, but perhaps passengers should be warned when purchasing tickets during holiday weekends that long delays are likely.

The trip and service was good. The only problem was the bus being late. Morchit is probably one of the worst places to have to wait longer than originally planned.
