Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal Station to Chiang Mai Destination Reviews

AD
I was charged 40$ USD for 2 carryons. That was more than my flight WITH seat selection. I did not appreciate that at the airport after 3 flights and it feels like a huge scam.

The bus seats were comfortable, you can recline but not sit up properly. They give you one snack, water and lunch/dinner. The staff was nice and helpful. Its quite cold so get a jumper or something.

This trip from Mochit to Chiang Mai, was booked by me for 2 friends and their 6 year old girl. It seems one of the train staff was rude and grabbed the little girls arm and pulled it, resulting in a "sprain" noted from the hospital visit. I believe there will be contact with the Police and/or Train company about this staff member. Beware of your children here. P.S. Good luck with parking.

Seats in bus were fine but service was poor. Purser lacked the hospitality we got used to in Thailand. As soon as he could he handed out the bottle of water and snacks. After that we almost didn't see him. He sat in the front with the driver. Now and then he made his announcements, all in Thai although the majority of the passengers were foreign. We didn't know that we had a break and that we could get a free meal by showing our tickets or how long the break was. The stop we had was also poor, the restrooms were dirty (the toilet in the bus was also dirty), the place and meals didn't look appealing. We departed from Mochit at 9.19 p.m. and arrived at Chiang Mai Bus station at approximately 6.30 a.m. instead of 7.50 a.m. I’m not sure how fast the driver was going, but we arrived over an hour earlier than scheduled. Parts of the road were in poor condition, and with the driver’s speed, the ride was quite bumpy. I hardly got any sleep. Overall, I expected a better experience. I wouldn’t book this bus ride again or recommend it to others.

Buying a ticket through 12go was a mistake. I should have done it through the airline company.

It's too bad that tickets have to be picked up so far from the train station in Bangkok.
