Chiang Mai to Kanchanaburi Destination Reviews

WS
Good bus everything looked clean. Left on time and arrived at destination over half an hour early. Seats are very spacious and also plenty of foot room, usb available and we were given water cookies and a packet of drinks just after departure. Bus does stop frequently to let people in and out and in doing so the lights come on as well. Around 1 o'clock a stop at a gas station with some food and drink stalls and dirty toilets. In the bus is also a toilet here we have not used.

We had taken vip because of the legroom and it was fine. We got a blanket, drinks and food. Only no TV but a shared one.

The bus was on time and comfortable, so bring a neck brace, earplugs and a face mask for a peaceful journey. The bus took a twenty-minute break after 6 hours to eat a meal included in the ticket, and a small bottle with snack was offered. Arrival very slightly late.

High standard quality bus. Driver was driving carefully and on time. Max amount of passengers was 30. So there was a lot of space for and in the big comfortable chairs.
