Pai to Chiang Mai Arcade 2 Destination Reviews

Someone had thrown up on the seat next to me. They had tried to clean it but they still put a lady in it, she complained the seat was wet and when she went to put her seatbelt on she came in contact with the vomit which confirmed where the smell of the vomit was coming from. They promptly moved both of our seats. The driver then proceeded to drive very fast and unsafely through all the mountain turns, I didn’t feel well and I had even taken a travel sick tablet. Connecting the dots between the driver and the vomit

Although the drive itself is a bit rough, the driver was extremely friendly and understanding. He even bought us water and took breaks when we needed and didn't when we needed to continue. He was on time, car was ok.

We traveled during the 3rd day of the Songkran festival. We started with one driver in Pai who had the good sense to take back roads out of town to avoid the celebration traffic jam; he then picked up a 2nd driver just outside Chiang Mai who drove us right into the heart of the celebration; it took us one hour to drive a quarter mile. It was a foolish mistake that could have been avoided.

12go has a sneaky way of charging you unwanted travel insurance by making you "uncheck" the option which is buried in the booking process. I did not see the unwanted fees until the payment was made.
