Vent: chose the $12 overnight bus from Bangkok to Chiang Mai over the $45 train and my back still hates me
I was stuck deciding between the cheap sleeper bus for 12 bucks and the train for 45 on my trip through Thailand back in March. I picked the bus to save cash for food and it was a 12 hour ride with barely any legroom and a broken AC. The train would've had an actual bed and I keep thinking about that extra 33 dollars I saved and whether it was worth the misery. Has anyone else done the cheap bus thing and regretted it, or is the train actually worth the splurge?
