I was sit at the back with a pile of bags falling on me on turns. The driver was sick and not friendly. They were late, we wait 1h at our hotel.

Way to expensive compare to other companies and it was not more special than the other busses.

The Van is very congested. The poor quality van along with limited spacing lead to my hospitalization and ruining of thailand trip. In order to increase their margin, they stuff the people inside the van like animals. Very very bad experience.

Departure was excat on that time and journey from Chiang Mait to Pai took 3hours. Staff and driver was friendly and he was very good driver. We did not feel unsafe or anything like that as some people have been writing here. We had around 15min stop on the half way. Service was good, fast and all went well.

The driver drove a bit fast during the curves. They didn't understand that I suffer from sick motion and I wanted to stay in front.

Went from Chiang Mai to Pai. Great driving, very safe. Pick up point a little out of the city but all good. It said transfer bus+minivan but maybe they meant you have to go outside of the centre to go to the pick up point by yourself. It's just a minivan from there, no transfers.
