Except that the journey took us 10,5 hours, we had an amazing experience with nakhonchaiair. Good drivers and a amazing journey, very good and friendly onboard service. They provide you with snacks and drinks, even with a meal included. The seats are very spacious and comfortable. I can really recommend this to everyone

The seats were spacious but the leg raise wouldn’t go up and also there was a male passenger next to me so I couldn’t really sleep comfortably. My knees were paining at the end of the ride.
