Was a super great trip from Nakhon Ratchasima to Bangkok. Easy to understand the bus terminal, where to go, I exchanged my ticket without any problem. They had a "lounge" that was slightly air conditioned. Bus was comfortable (especially that they had 2 +1 seating) and we even got free water and a mcdonalds burger halfway. I didn't try the toilet, but I believe there was a toilet on board. Would definitely book this company again!

It was a much better experience on the bus Korat to Bangkok, compared to the railway train. Surprised that there was a McDonalds burger given halfway through the trip. There was a small toilet on board as well

I had seat 1A There was no space for stretching the feet. Very tight, while other seats have much more space. That wasn't good
