This morning we left Bangkok bus terminal (one of the many), to head up North East Thailand. This is an area we've not explored before, and hope it will take us a little off the tourist track.
We paid about £8 each for the four hour coach trip out of the city. As we left the city the coach pulled over outside McDonalds. The coach assistant hopped out, and five minutes was back with a tray. Each of us got a bottle of water and a McChicken sandwich. No extra charge - great included service! But if you're a vegetarian, vegan or have any other special dietary requirements - it will just be water for you.
About 1 hour into the journey the coach starting playing up. We kept stopping on the hard shoulder and we could see the driver scratching his head. Eventually we limped off the motorway and properly broke down. Luckily we only had to wait 30 minutes for the later coach to stop and pick us all up!
As an aside I noticed on certain buses, seats are also reserved for ladies only. I don't think you need to be dressed like that though.
