Chiang Mai to Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal Station Destination Reviews

LM
Good trip. Stuck to schedule. Only issue was the bus was so hot - air con not fully on/functioning. I wanted to go ti the airport so they dropped me on the roadside nearby and was told to take a taxi from there 🤷‍♀️

I booked a super vip bus, but I got a different one from the booking. A part from that the toilet was very old, with manual flashing and not comfortable

Had a lot of leg space, but the storage compartment for the backpack was a bit small and the toilet wasn't very clean and the flush didn't work on my specific bus

The bus was much better than expected. The seats recline almost completely, they give you a bottle of water and even some snacks. We arrived before the schedule and Mochit was easy to get a taxi. The only negative parts were when they turned on all the lights at 1.30am for a midway stop (and woke everyone up), and how cold it gets, specially if you’re in the window seat.

Way better than the train and so much more comfortable than any plane! Bring an eye mask and earplugs and you should have a good sleep! Chair reclines and theres a foot rest. Seats are very comfy!

The bus was punctual, they took good care of our luggage and it was very comfortable. We had a blanket, A/C, a lot of space and the toilet was okay as well. The staff gave us water and something to eat (a chocolate bar and a little bread with raisins or something like that). I can recommend it, better than our first night bus in Thailand.

Comfy seats but if you are tall like me (190cm) then the are just okey. Snack were kind of cool. The bus stops in the middle of the night (2am) for dinner. Kind of weird but at least you are not hungry. Recommend earplugs for the ride. Staff are very formal but profesionall
