Sukhothai to Chiang Mai Destination Reviews

The bus was a bit old and the seats were not very clean and comfortable. It has nothing to do with the advertising picture. We also had lots of mite bites.

Bus is late by around 30 minutes, and reach the destination late by around 1.5 hours. The reason seems to be because there were many stops along the route for passengers to hop on/off. So be ready for this! Love the given snacks and water on the bus though.

The Bus was really late like an hour late or more, and at midnight trip is was hard. And at the arrive time, the wake up call was really rude. For the rest enough comfort.

I only think they should do a quick stop at least every 2 hours so we can go the the bathroom. 4 hours without stopping was too much.

Overall great service. Bus was good, we had two breaks on the way and also picked up a few people along the road. We were provided with a little snack and water. Only downside was the fact, that we arrived nearly an hour late which wasnt a problem in our case but could be potentially anoying. But then again, most alternatives are always late as well.
