点评:Wintour are the only bus company to operate between Sukhothai and Chiangmai. One cannot book direct with the company online but through a third party. This made me uncomfortable as I could not be sure that the tickets would be honoured and there was no way to contact Wintour for conformation. Also there is no indication of where the Wintour bus will stop in Old Sukhothai for the onward journey to Chiang Mai. The bus stop is at the end of the old town opposite a tiny wat and the Abandon Koff Cafe. It is on the side of the road that is going to New Sukhothai. Passengers are led across the road by a staff member holding a red flag to stop traffic! You must exchange your paper ticket from the third party for a confirmed ticket from the Old Sukhothai office (preferably done at least the day before). You will be asked to find your name on the seats indicated on the computer screen. If it is not there, the lady will ring the office at the New Sukhothai bus station and your seat will then be confirmed and you will be given new tickets. There are some seats and a toilet (western style but no toilet paper) at the office.
The buses to Chiang Mai leave at 9.50am (9.30 from New Sukhothai) and 10.50 from Old Sukhothai. Prior to ascending the steep stairs to the upper level you are given a drink, cake and bottle of water. If you have booked early enough (bookings open 30 days before departure) you may be lucky to get the front seats which have ample leg room but your view through the dirty windows may be partly obscured by an old non functioning tv screen. The buses are certainly not new or VIP. The seats are reasonably comfortable. Our bus did stop a number of times to let passengers on or off at unscheduled places and although it did stop at a bus station, we have no idea of which one as there was no sign and the bus did not stop for more than a couple of minutes (driver toilet stop). We did not use the on board toilet down stairs as going up and down the steep stairs would have been hazardous on a moving vehicle.
The seating is two x two. The bus stops at Terminal two in Chiang Mai and you will need to go to Terminal Three (across the road) if you are purchasing Green bus tickets or any other tickets. The bus is met by crowds of tuck tuk drivers and hotel touts. Get a Grab or Bolt if you are not comfortable negotiating a fair price for your travel to your accommodation.
If you are well heeled then it would be better to hire a private car and driver for the journey rather than using Wintour.
翻译:Wintour 是唯一一家在素可泰和清迈之间运营的巴士公司。人们不能直接在网上向该公司预订,而是通过第三方进行预订。这让我感到不舒服,因为我无法确定门票是否会兑现,也无法联系温图尔进行确认。此外,也没有迹象表明 Wintour 巴士将在老素可泰的哪个站点停靠以继续前往清迈。巴士站位于老城区的尽头,对面是一座小寺庙和 Abandon Koff 咖啡馆。它就在去新素可泰的路边。乘客在工作人员举着红旗的带领下过马路,阻止交通!您必须将第三方的纸质门票换成旧素可泰办事处确认的门票(最好至少在前一天完成)。您将被要求在计算机屏幕上指示的座位上找到您的名字。如果没有,那位女士会打电话给新素可泰巴士站的办公室,然后确认您的座位,并给您新的车票。办公室里有一些座位和一个厕所(西式但没有卫生纸)。
前往清迈的巴士于上午 9.50 出发(从新素可泰出发为 9.30),从旧素可泰出发为 10.50。在爬上陡峭的楼梯到上层之前,您会得到一杯饮料、蛋糕和一瓶水。如果您预订得足够早(出发前 30 天开放预订),您可能会很幸运地获得拥有充足腿部空间的前排座位,但您透过肮脏的窗户看到的景色可能会被旧的无法使用的电视屏幕部分遮挡。这些巴士当然不是新的或 VIP 的。座位相当舒适。我们的巴士确实停了好几次,让乘客在计划外的地方上下车,虽然它确实停在一个巴士站,但我们不知道是哪个巴士站,因为没有标志,而且巴士只停了两次分钟(司机厕所停车)。我们没有使用楼下的车上厕所,因为在行驶的车辆上上下陡峭的楼梯会很危险。
座位是两个 x 两个。巴士在清迈的第二航站楼停靠,如果您购买绿色巴士车票或任何其他车票,则需要前往第三航站楼(马路对面)。迎接巴士的是一群嘟嘟车司机和酒店推销员。如果您不愿意为前往住宿的旅程协商合理的价格,请使用 Grab 或 Bolt。
如果您财力雄厚,那么最好租一辆私家车和司机来旅行,而不是使用 Wintour。
