Travel Tips for the Return Journey
A little preparation can make your trip a breeze. Remember to pack some snacks, drinks, and entertainment to keep you occupied during the journey. Choose comfortable clothing and consider bringing a neck pillow for added comfort, especially on night rides.
Thai buses often crank up the air conditioning at night, so a light blanket or an extra layer can be a real lifesaver. Keep your travel documents easily accessible and stay informed about your departure and arrival points for a smooth, hassle-free trip.
