ldnguy Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 (edited) 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.

Seligne2 Posted May 16, 2015 Share Posted May 16, 2015 That's a Nakhonchai Air. Been around since Adam was a toddler. The website may be new. I also like BKS, Phaetprasert, Sombat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asanee Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeichen Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 "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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maderaroja Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 I vote NakhonChai Air. They are very professional. They also run some taxis in BKK, by reservation only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingdoc Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 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!

recycler Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 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...

ubeturazz Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 (edited) another vote for NCA... first class and you'll have the whole half of the bus to urself... as in 3 seats across. Edited May 18, 2015 by ubeturazz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asiantravel Posted May 18, 2015 Share Posted May 18, 2015 (edited) "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. 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.
