Pathumthani to Chiang Mai Destination Reviews

Ticket line was very long to exchange a ticket. So many people were waiting to exchange their ticket even we already bought tickets on online. In addition, the bus departed 30mins later than scheduled because other customers were in the double booking problem. Very sorry to see that customers.

Great service and bus but the booking confirmation gave three different points for the boarding address (address, coordinates and picture of the map were all slightly different) so it was a bit stressful making sure we had the right place

Bus was comfortable except for that the driver talked a lot through the microphone and he didn’t speak English at all.
