Traveling from Chiang Mai to Bangkok by bus with Somphot Tour
What we want most when traveling is to have our journey go as we wish, whether it's the plane tickets or the vehicle we use to travel. So we searched for a reliable company and found one website, BusOnlineTicket.co.th. From the difficult task of finding bus tickets, it has become a very easy matter. Moreover, the website offers bus tickets, train tickets, and more. Let's see what's interesting.
Here is a brief summary of this trip.

Book bus tickets
1. We booked a bus ticket from Chiang Mai to Bangkok with Somphot Tour, Super VIP class, the ticket price is 569 baht per person, which is better than the ordinary class. So we chose to book tickets from Bangkok to Chiang Mai from the company's website because we had booked tickets to Bangkok to Chiang Mai
Prepare to board the bus from Chiang Mai Bus Terminal 3
2. When the travel day arrived, we arrived at Chiang Mai Bus Terminal 3, or as we call it, Arcade Station 3, and then picked up the tickets at the Somphot Tour counter.

3. Afterwards, we headed straight to the bus terminal to wait for the bus. The terminal was crowded because many passengers were using the new bus terminal. However, there were still enough seats to accommodate the waiting passengers.

4. Approximately 30 minutes before departure, theสมบัติทัวร์ bus arrived at the terminal. We then walked with our luggage to the driver to store it in the luggage compartment. The driver checked our tickets and gave us tags to attach to our luggage to prevent confusion.

5. Forสมบัติทัวร์ buses, we boarded from the front door, next to the driver's seat. Once on board, the bus attendant collected our tickets and directed us to our seats according to our tickets.

6. The VIP class ofสมบัติทัวร์ buses offers 2+2 seating arrangements. Each seat comes with a blanket and neck pillow, which are not available in the regular class. Additionally, the seats in this class are massage chairs, which are fantastic for long journeys.

7. The toilet is located at the back of the bus. Compared to the regular class, the VIP class toilet is much better. To use the toilet, you need to walk down to the lower level of the bus.

Tip: You can use the bus toilet if you don't want to use the one at the terminal, as the bus toilet is quite clean and provides tissue paper.

8. Another impressive feature of the VIP class is that each seat has a TV screen for watching both Thai and international movies. You can also play games such as card games, Angry Birds, and many others. Additionally, there are USB ports for charging your phone. Unfortunately, I forgot to bring my headphones, but when I asked the attendant, they noted my seat number and lent me a pair of headphones.

Dinner at the parking lot
9. After traveling for about 6 and a half hours, we stopped for about 20-30 minutes. This stop was a service provided by Somboon Tour, which was an excellent service.
Because in this VIP class, we can choose to eat anything we want. If we are not full, we can go back for more. And the company's receptionist will serve us cold water. It's not like the regular class, where we have to go get our own water.
10. After getting back on the bus, we will each receive a cold towel and the receptionist will serve us hot green tea. This is a VIP service.
Upon arrival in Bangkok
11. Another 4 hours, we will arrive in Bangkok. In total, this trip from Chiang Mai to Bangkok took about 11 hours. In conclusion, the VIP class of Somboon Tour has good service and is considered an express bus. Because there is no stopping to pick up people at the stops. And there are many amenities, such as massage chairs, TV screens for watching movies, and game books for relaxation.
Just adding 80 baht to sit in the VIP class is definitely worth it.
