I have to confess to not being a fan of bus travel, too many people in close proximity that don’t use underarm deodorant for my liking.
However these Nakhonchaiair first class buses look the danglies

I have used niggly. Air fare was over 3000 bhat so I tried it. Not too bad, take a good book and be prepared for an 8 hr journey. BKK to Udon gets in around 4:00 AM so not a good time, but tolerable. No food or drink during COVID, so BYO.

I had a bumper sticker in Texas that read 'Beam me up Scotty'. I often wish I could find one in Udon Thani

Sod the leg room, think I’ll stick to 55 mins on a plane. Always got me to Bangkok early enough for what I was doing & then catch the early evening plane home. Takes a bit of planning but everything sorted in a day

May look as you say the "danglies" but same rout , same traffic to tackle , same road works and more so same nonsense driver , i see as many of these broken down or off road just as much as the normal NCA and for that matter the worst most dangerous ..407 bus company...

I will choose my time route n drive myself thanks .. planes not an option.

You pays your money and make your choice, although if one is worried about underarm smelly people then a plane would not be my choice, as contained in a steel tube with dirty people unable to move is not my idea of heaven, but to each their own.
NCA First class is worth the dosh, and less ,stressful than currently flying with all the restrictions , lets face it apart from a few that run their business, none of us are in a hurry are we ?

i dont attract it only witness it in passing .. however the amount of kms i do means i stand a greater chance of seeing traffic fails accidents more so than lest say a person who drives around Udon ring road to visit a tool shed or out to those must have cheescakes and air fryers .... so i do witness many tour buses and other vehicles having a go at off road or kissing other road users...and more recently the huge petrol tanker smash n fire in Nong Ki ..it was hard to miss with 1km of road set alight.

Tongue in cheek dm, tongue in cheek. With your weekly mileages, you are probably one of the better experienced farang drivers.

Talking of experience, you're still welcome in the tool shed barrel any time.
