Best experience in Thailand if you love F1 xD 4h journey was done in 2h. Fernando Alonso would not have been able to complete the 762 curves on that time on a Ferrari. Congratulations driver! xD

Comfortable bus, airco too much so really cold in the night. Bring large towel or have long sleeves. We arrived almost an hour late due to the heavy traffic in the beginning so keep in mind that this can happen

Decent. Not super comfortable or uncomfortable. The driver went pretty fast at some points which scared people in the bus bc we had heard of an accident that had happened just a few days before. Would recommend a private transfer if carsick.
