Khon Kaen to Chiang Mai Destination Reviews

A&
Old, dirty bus. VERY, VERY SLOW. DOES NOT REALIZE THE PROSPECTED TRAVEL TIME. ARRIVAL 2HRS LATER IN CHIANG MAI. Bus makes many stops and deviates greatly from the route. The stops are also far too short to eat properly, you barely have time to pee. Never again!
