Chiang Mai Arcade 2 to Pai Destination Reviews

JS
If I could zero stars, I would give zero stars. The car was in bad condition. The driver was driving so fast and nearly the whole route were switchbacks. They are even writing on the ticket that you should take a pill for motion sickness before taking the van there, but they aren't considering simply driving a little more carefully…. Just terrible.

No problem with the organisation, vehicle was as I expected it to be, but the driver was eratic and dangerous at times, overtaking on bends and crossing the solid line. We arrived over an hour ahead of schedule.

It is a twisty turny road and the drivers do use all the road to straighten out some of the curves, but they experienced and will get you there.

The driver was toooooo fast on the curvy road to Pai. In my opinion it was so dangerous. And I get very sick of it. We reached Pai 2 hours earlier because he drives very fast.
