Nong Khai to Bangkok Destination Reviews

SM
Good nice driver (he was doing everything himself - no assistant). We arrived on time, maybe even a bit early. However, rather old bus with basic comfort. No plug to recharge our mobile phone. Bottle of water and a little bit of food provided - no meal.

I really enjoyed this trip. The driver was always on time. I did not expect this at all, but we were well fed, treated to sweet biscuits and provided with water. It was very pleasant. In addition, there was a warm blanket on the bus. All the people who provided the trip were kind and polite.

First was put on a rather new and comfy bus with seats layout 1+2. If you get the single seat it's very nice (seats number 1, 4, 7, 10, ...). BUT 5 minutes before departure they figured that I am supposed to take another bus, which was older, less comfortable and spacious, and had 2+2 layout. On top of that, departure time from Nong Khai in the ticket was 19:00, however the bus is scheduled for 19:30, and the actual departure was 20:00. Arrival time to Bangkok in the ticket was 4:15, actual time was closer to 5:00. The service and the staff was nice and friendly.

The night train from Nong khai (near Laos border) to Bangkok airport (Don Muang) was on time. It's clean and safe. The staff was also really nice. It is really a good option, more confortable than thé bus.

Booking experience was quick and easy, with the tickets arriving by email within 30 minutes of paying. The trip was great, state rail Thailand looked after us well. The only downside was that (for 2nd class sleeper, AC) the aisle lights in the carriage were kept on the whole night. Next time I'd take a mask to help block the light.
