Traveling with

Sombat Tour

Very comfortable and punctual. Nothing to complain about.

La climatisation fuit et ça pleut sur nous toute la nuit.

Everything was fine. Water and snacks were included. Seats were okay, even for tall Europeans.

Definitely the best way to travel. You get snacks, water and juice. The seats recline like beds. Complementary dinner vouchers half way through the journey when you stop. The sad part, no wifi, no headphones for tv and the chargers need usb adapters. Make sure you have one or you will have a flat phone. Great staff

No problems Bus on time, comfortable seats, air conditioning and a bottle of water. Thanks

Very comfortable and smooth ride!

Bangkok to Chiang Mai Overnight Bus Travel – Times & Tickets by SOMBAT TOUR

Apr 2, 2024 | Go Places

Taking the bus is an easy way to travel from Bangkok to Chiang Mai or vice versa. It is also a popular alternative to train travel.

Chiang Mai, the biggest city in Northern Thailand, is located about 700km from Bangkok, the capital city of Thailand. Every day there are thousands of people travelling between these two cities, either by taking the train, bus or flying. Many tourists fly into Bangkok and then head north to Chiang Mai as part of the same holiday.

Every day thousands of people travel between Bangkok and Chiang Mai by bus, as well as to the other provinces in Northern Thailand.

The quickest mode of traversing from Bangkok to Chiang Mai or vice versa is, of course, by taking the one hour flight. And tourists love the overnight sleeper train for the fantastic countryside views they can get from the scenic train ride.

The cheapest way to travel between Chiang Mai and Bangkok is by taking the bus, and it is faster than train travel. The 700 kilometres bus route is a 9 hours journey whereas, by train, it takes between 11~14 hours depending on which train service you use. 

Bus travel isn’t really as bad as it sounds so please don’t be scared by the long travelling hour and distance. Select the correct bus and buy the right ticket, you’ll find that travelling by bus is a surprisingly comfortable experience.

This article will discuss extensively the luxury coach, particularly the overnight sleeper bus, about the schedules, tickets, bus stations, and other useful information that helps plan your trip in Bangkok and Chiang Mai.

Travelling by bus is a comfortable experience if you choose the right bus company and buy the correct ticket.

“SUPREME CLASS” Bus by Sombat Tour

The “Supreme Class” bus by Sombat Tour bus company is one of the best bus travel experiences you could have in Thailand. FYI, Sombat Tour is a very reputable bus company that provides excellent luxury coach services travelling to many provinces in Thailand.

The Supreme Class’s bus fare to Chiang Mai, or Bangkok, is 823 Baht  one way. There are ten departure times for these buses each day, for both Chiang Mai and Bangkok. Most of them leave the bus terminal in the evening between 6.00pm ~ 10.00pm. That means you’ll arrive at your destination the next day morning between 5.00am ~ 8.00am. 

The SUPREME BUS operated by Sombat Tour is one of the best bus travel experience you could have in Thailand. They are comfortable, reliable and cheap.

If you are travelling on a small budget and don’t mind paying less for the lower class bus type, there is also the Super Class (617 Baht) and Star Class (529 Baht) to choose from. The travelling hour is still the same but comes at a cheaper fare. Seats are smaller and without some of the luxurious features and facilities of the Supreme Class.

See the timetable below for the bus schedules. You can see that most buses depart in the evening and arrive in the next day’s morning. 

Timetable for departure and the estimated time of arrival for the bus leaving Bangkok for Chiang Mai.

The Bus’s Features & Facilities

The Supreme Class bus is a luxury coach equipped with first class facilities. In Thailand, this type of luxury coach is commonly called the “VIP First Class” bus. 

The bus has 24 spacious seatings, with the seat setting being one on the left and two seats on the right. Seats can be reclined 135-degree and with adjustable leg rest, which helps passengers to fall asleep faster and more soundly. Each chair has a built-in massager (adjustable) so that you can be pummelled for 9 hours if you want. 

The bus also comes with free onboard Wi-Fi and 2 USB charging ports at every seat (1.0 Amp and 2.1 Amp) to charge mobile phone and tablet. Every seating has its own touchscreen personal entertainment system with English and Asian movies, interactive games and music. You’ll be given a USB headphone for watching movies and listening to music, but you can also use your 3.5mm headphone if you wish. 

The personal entertainment system with English and Asian movies, interactive games and music.

Complimentary water and snacks, as well as a blanket and neck pillow, are provided onboard. The blanket is a lifesaver, as it can get quite chilly on the bus thanks to the air conditioning. Much like in an aeroplane, we recommend you bring additional layers of clothes to stay warm. An onboard lavatory is available for light usage throughout the 9-hour journey. 

The check-in baggage service is also available, with each passenger is allowed two pieces of luggage not exceeding 25kg in total. If the luggage is too big or exceeds the weight limit, an extra transportation fee will be charged. For security purpose, passengers will be given a luggage tag for their checked-in baggage. Small hand carry bag can be stored in the overhead compartment. 

The complimentary water and snacks are served twice, usually, during the first and the last 30 minutes of the journey. 

Passengers won’t have to wait until the rest stop if they wish to ease themselves because there is an onboard lavatory at the back of the bus.

Where To Buy The Bus Ticket

Because Sombat Tour is a famous bus company in Thailand, you should book the bus ticket ahead to avoid disappointment, particularly if you are visiting Thailand during the high tourist season . The bus ticket can be purchased up to one year in advance of the actual travel date. 

The easiest way to purchase bus ticket is through Sombat Tour’s official website here . However, at the time of writing, the booking system is only available in the Thai language, even if the site is multi-lingual. You can try to proceed with the help of Google Translate as we find the booking process quite straight forward.

Choose the desired date and time, followed by your contact information and finally be directed to the merchant’s payment page, which is in ENGLISH to complete the payment with a credit card. You’ll receive a booking confirmation when payment is successful. 

The online booking system is only available in the Thai language, for now. But the process is pretty straight forward and can be easily completed with the help of using Google Translate. 

When book online, you have the options to pay either by credit card or over the cashier counter at 7-11 stores in Thailand.

If you don’t feel secure to pay with a credit card, you can choose the option to pay at 7-11 store during the online checkout page. You may walk into the nearest 7-11 store (in Thailand) with the booking code you received during the booking process and pay at the cashier counter either by cash or credit card.

Note that the payment must be completed within three hours upon the booking code is issued, and there will be a service charge of 25 Baht on top of the ticket price. You’ll receive a payment slip when payment is successful.

You can then bring this booking confirmation or the payment slip to the bus station’s ticket counter at least 30 minutes before the actual time of departure to claim your bus ticket.  

Another way to book Sombat Tour’s bus ticket is to buy it directly from their ticket counter. If you are in Bangkok, you can go to any of their five ticket counters here . In Chiang Mai, their ticket counter is located at Arcade Bus Station 3. Payment can be made either by cash or credit card. 

Bus Online Ticket

Another way to purchase the bus ticket easily is through the online ticket agent here . It is very convenient because the booking website is entirely in English, and they accept payment by Paypal , credit card, as well as payment over-the-counter at Tesco Lotus and Big C convenient stores.

Buying the bus ticket through online ticket agent is time-saving, but please pay very careful attention when choosing your bus ticket because other than Sombat Tour, they also sell the ticket for the other bus companies like Bangkok Busline, Thai Sriram Bus Express, etc. You may read their booking FAQ here .

Bus ticket going to the other destinations like Chiang Rai, Sukhothai, Phuket, Krabi, Pattaya, Siem Reap (Cambodia) is also on sale. Check availability and booking here .

Sombat Tour Review

Last updated on December 11, 2023

Posted on December 11, 2023 April 5, 2023 by Kamolchat Thanaditsayakun

Sombat Tour is a well-known and respected public transport company, operating a fleet of modern buses on routes across Thailand, mostly departing from Bangkok. In the main, they operate three different standards of buses – Supreme, Super and Star with differing levels of luxury across the three, including reclining chairs, massage chairs, and personal TV screens. You could argue that the quality of their buses is good enough to rival those in Western countries, and their plan certainly seems to be to provide a better quality of service in Thailand by giving better comfort levels and facilities onboard their buses. With plenty of other bus companies operating across Thailand, how does Sombat Tour compare in terms of prices, schedules and service? Our Sombat Tour company review will answer those questions and more.

About Sombat Tour

Sombat Tour is a very well established public transport company with their roots dating back to 1942, when the business was formed under the name Tek Chiang. In 1978 they changed the name to Thepsombat Company Limited and began trading as Sombat Tour, so they have been operating public transport services for close to 80 years now. Initially, they operated a small number of routes but have expanded a lot over the last few decades to cover all regions of Thailand to some extent. In total, they operate 30 different routes, with the majority of these departing from or going to the country’s capital city, Bangkok. Some of the most popular routes include Bangkok to Phuket, Bangkok to Chiang Mai, Bangkok to Hua Hin, Bangkok to Koh Samui, and Bangkok to Surat Thani , while routes departing from other cities include Chiang Mai to Hua Hin, and Chiang Rai to Nakhon Phanom.

Sombat Tour does not operate any cross-border routes, so if you’re looking to travel from Thailand into a neighboring country, you’ll need to consider different bus companies, or catch a flight. Another option is to use Sombat Tour to get you close to the border but cross the border independently before picking up another bus on the other side; a good idea if you were intent on traveling with Sombat Tour as much as possible!

Schedules vary on all their routes, with some routes only having one or two buses each way per day, while others have multiple buses to choose from. Bangkok to Chiang Mai is a good example, with around 20 departures from Bangkok each day, departing from Mo Chit and/or Vibhavadi and you can choose which type of bus you want to travel on depending on the schedule. They have Star, Super and Supreme services as well as a VIP 20 bus. These and the Supreme buses are the most expensive as both are VIP types. More on the bus types in a moment. Another good thing to look out for is that Sombat Tour provides special ‘Lady Buses’ as they call them, which are special buses put on just for female passengers on Fridays and Sundays from Bangkok to Chiang Mai. This is great news if you’re a female traveling alone.

Let’s take a closer look at the different buses that Sombat Tour operates. Star buses have the cheapest tickets, so consider these if you’re traveling on a budget. Even these most affordable bus services are very comfortable as they offer seats that recline and have calf support for your legs, and there is a steward onboard serving snacks and beverages. The Super class buses are similar – both have four seats to a row – but these could be double-decker buses and may include massage chairs and personal TV screens in addition to those other comforts. Supreme class buses are the VIP types that you may have traveled on with other bus companies. These have only three seats per row, giving you larger seats and more room around you. All seats have a massage option, and they recline further than those on the more standard buses.

Tickets to travel with Sombat Tour are generally quite comparable to buses operated by other companies, but you will probably find you’re paying a few more baht to travel with Sombat Tour. You could argue that you’re getting a great service for that slight extra cost, as even Sombat Tour’s standard buses include more than some other provider’s luxury buses, so you are getting more for your money anyway.

Sombat Tour Customer Reviews

The buses operated by Sombat Tour certainly appear to be very well equipped, comfortable and modern, according to their website, but are they really as good as they say they are? Looking at reviews of Sombat Tour that have been left by previous passengers is the best way to judge this.

Many passengers use the travel website, 12Go.asia to book their bus tickets in Thailand. On this travel booking site you can enter the route and dates that you want to travel, then compare all the different transport options. For popular routes like Bangkok to Chiang Mai , they sell tickets for Sombat Tour as well as other bus companies so you can check the prices and bus types, and read reviews, before going ahead to book.

At the time of writing, over 18,700 customers have booked bus tickets with Sombat Tour through 12Go , and there are over 1,200 reviews of the company. The overall rating is 4.4 out of 5 stars, which is very good. 62% of customers gave 5 stars and 25% gave 4 stars, with very low percentages giving 3, 2 or 1 stars, so customers have definitely been impressed and very happy according to these Sombat Tour reviews.

Looking at some of the recent comments on the reviews, passengers have raved over how comfortable and well equipped the buses were, that the staff were friendly and the driving was good, that they arrived on time, and that it was good value for money. There were a few negative points mentioned in recent reviews. Several customers said that there were no announcements in English and therefore they had trouble figuring out what was going on when the bus stopped for a break. Some others mentioned that there was no Wi-Fi, but we could not see any claims that they offer Wi-Fi – perhaps this is a service that could be added in the future. Another comment was about the air conditioning being too cold, but this is a very standard complaint on buses in Thailand and we recommend always bringing a few extra layers.

Should You Travel with Sombat Tour?

With generally very good reviews, it seems as though Sombat Tour is striving to, and reaching their goals, to provide a great service. In countries like Thailand, keeping to schedules to arrive and depart on time is a common problem, but it looks as though Sombat Tour is good at keeping to their scheduled timetables and that they genuinely want to provide a comfortable and affordable service to their passengers. With this in mind, we can’t see any reason not to recommend traveling with Sombat Tour, even if they might be very slightly more expensive than some of their competitors. Remember, you can check prices for Sombat Tour and other bus companies on the travel website, 12Go , and make up your own mind.
