The travel by sleeper bus is overall is good. But there is one big problem. The driver stopped for a toilet brake only once on 17 hours drive.

The bus engine went out and we weren’t informed until we woke up and found out for ourselves that we had been standing still all night. Overall the bus was 10 hours delayed. There were very few stops for toilet breaks, and the food we got was very local. Only rice and some vegetables that me and my friends were safe to eat. It was ok with the overall comfort of the bus, except for the occasional turning off air condition.

The cabin was basic but enough room walls were scuffed and dirty … toilets were very dirty and needed a good scrub .. I am not sure the attendant did much to enhance the overall cleanliness during the journey … food staff very cheerful and helpful…

If you a western the space would probably be to small for you. I am a female traveling by herself and felt a bit uncomfortable during the trip. Also protect fragile stuff cause my whole make up bag broke cause they trowed it out. And they don't speak English so they put you i a hall and have to figure out everything yourself
