Chiang Mai Arcade 2 to Pai Destination Reviews

Very good organisation and perfect driver on this winding road.

I was dreading this having read some reviews but it was really good. Spacious comfortable van (we paid a bit extra for an upgrade). Left Chiang Mai at 1pm and arrived Pai at 4 30pm - a full 50 minutes ahead of published time. Sensible driver, no motion sickness and a wee stop half way.

The driver's driving was smooth, and yet it only lasted 3 hours and 30 minutes.

Angry driver, horrible aggressive passenger (I think Israeli)... I think there was something wrong with the bus too, grateful he got us there safe but everyone on the bus felt stressed. Hopefully everyone involved is now ok.

The driving was very aggressive and dangerous. Someone on our bus has been doing this journey for 20 years and never seen such reckless driving! Very dangerous overtaking and too many close calls! Felt unsafe on this journey.
