Chiang Mai to Ban Khon Destination Reviews

E
There were no informations about obligatory masks (due to covid that has ended a year ago...). When I entered the bus the bus attendant made me buy a mask. It was just 10 bahts but if they require masks it should have been stated earlier. For some reason the bas was extremally humid making even the blankets a little bit wet

Comfortable, fast, lots of space. Only negative is no stop for proper food, only 7-Eleven

Lights off while moving, comfortable seat, pilloe for the head, support for the feet, blanket and water. It was better than I expected :)
