What Bus Company Do You Use In Thailand?

[ldnguy]

Do you have a favorite bus company? This one looks great - (DELETED). Are there any similar ones? Looks like Thailand is heading in the right direction if more bus companies like this start up.

That's a Nakhonchai Air. Been around since Adam was a toddler. The website may be new. I also like BKS, Phaetprasert, Sombat.

In most cases there is hardly a choice. There is NO national bus Comp as such (lik the Greyhound in Us or Nat.Express in UK) and most are local small enterprise teaming up in some from with the BoKoSo. For local routes out of BKK the standard will be much, much lower anyway.

"Nakhonchai Air" Ditto to that. They have some great VIP buses with individual entertainment systems and very comfortable seats.

Sombat is another pretty big chain that is pretty reliable.

[bigyin]

Yes Nakhonchai Air is the way to go.

[maderaroja]

I vote NakhonChai Air. They are very professional. They also run some taxis in BKK, by reservation only.

Nca.com Nakion chai air bus

[louse1953]

The 1st one that is going my way.

I agree NCA is good, but I also have used Sombat Tours and 999 to Samui and Koh Phangan, as they take the buses on the ferry and thus save hauling luggage up and down steps

to the main deck on either Raja or Sea Trans ferries!

More important, NCA has well maintained busses, properly trained and well behaved drivers, speed limiters and always 2 people in front of the bus.

Looking at some of the rubbish you see on the roads here, busses where the front wheel follow a track 30 cm apart from the rear wheels, driving at 130 km/hr...

I would not set foot on a bus here for free.

How about the Dreaded 407 to Seka (Isaan) or Anywhere , I was on that bus for 17 hours, broke down every 10 min.an absolute trip from Hell, I had to wrap a blanket over my head to enter the piss pot, and u know how often those blankets are washed, Never...

[ubeturazz]

another vote for NCA... first class and you'll have the whole half of the bus to urself... as in 3 seats across.

If I need a bus and NCA does not go there then I drive or fly. END OF.

[torpedo1970]

Best and safest Bus service around Nakhonchai Air!

[Expattaff1308]

Chan Tour & Nakhonchai Air both i have found reliable and safest drivers.

[GordonP]

NCA always.

I agree what everyone says about NCA safety and reliability. But I have to disagree with you about comfort on the brand-new Chinese made SUNLONG buses which are replacing the Mercedes fleet.

I have travelled NCA a great deal over the last eight years without any complaint whatsoever but unfortunately the individual entertainment systems mean new designs for the seating. The new seats merely slide down at the push of a button within a plastic module ( which obviously includes all the associated cabling and paraphernalia for the entertainment system ) and in my humble opinion is now nowhere near as comfortable to Gold class on their Mercedes fleet. because there is less legroom.

How do you get around the country? Do you have your own transport or do you get taxis? Sometimes there isn't much of an alternative.

To get from A to B. You can't get flights between all towns in Thailand.
