This bus was a ride from hell or at least halfway to hell. It took 8 hours to travel from Bangkok to Mae Sot but the trip back last night from Mae Sot to Bangkok took over 10 hours. The first bus was a special tour bus almost VIP the second a squishy 2nd classer. The problem was not so much the lack of leg room which was tough but the constant stopping and waiting for no apparent reason. Every hour we seemed to stop and wait and wait, heck sometimes twice an hour. I had no idea why the bus continued to stop and wait, no one ever got on or off except the first time. We seemed to be stopping for the sake of stopping. After a while I got the feeling that the driver was just stopping to show the bus to his friends.
As a bonus on arriving at Mochit bus station in Bkk I had to que up with hundreds of people and wait 45 minutes for a taxi.
