westbounder Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 I am familiar with the Green Bus Company's bus from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai. Does anyone know the daily schedule for going and returning?Can I just show up at the bus station and purchase a ticket minutes before departure? Thank You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke000 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 You can usually get a ticket for a bus leaving in 10-30 minutes. Do a websearch to the schedule Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phuket Mike Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 You can just turn up on the day but if you want a specific time or VIP seat it's better to buy a ticket a few days before. http://www.greenbusthailand.com/website/en/services/bus/time-table Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luke000 Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Although if you are going early in the morning, its best to book the day before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheSiemReaper Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Book via their website or app. Pay for ticket in 7-11. Don't worry about trying to buy a ticket in the bus station. Easiest way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although 7/11 will charge B 30 for each segment so there and back B60 .When you get to the bus station you still need to go to the ticket counter to get your official ticket .

Yes, there's a tiny fee to pay in 7-11. Though you only pay once. No, you don't need to go to a ticket counter to get an official ticket. Done it many times. Never been to any counter whatsoever.

KhonKaenKowboy Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 There are two official GB agents on Suthep and at least one inside the moat...west of the police station 200 meters on the right....They charge 20 per ticket and you can go straight to the bus. One of the ones on Suthep is almost across the street from Mcdonald's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You use your internet booking print on A4 paper ,whatever ,to show the driver ?..And a B60 total fee from 7/11 there and back (B30 each way ) i class as substantial .

No. You use the ticket which is the 7-11 receipt. If you count a sum of less than $1 as substantial I can only pity you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
