Riding this bus was quite pleasant. However, because the seats are small, and at the time I was seated next to a large person, it made it difficult for me to move and reduced my comfort during the ride, especially for an 8-hour journey. I was also not allowed to move to another seat, even though there were still several empty benches available.

It is cheaper than the official website. I suggest everyone check Klook to compare prices before buying tickets for attractions or activities when traveling abroad. Save money wherever you can.
