12Go or walk up for a Thai bus ticket?
Overnight to Chiang Mai is the other fork. I need reseller vs the window, not a 2019 baht quote.
Seats vs a screenshot
| If | Lean | Not |
|---|---|---|
| High season, a specific night, bags | 12Go / the operator site if it still has the class you want | Assuming the van at Arcade has your name on it at 22:00 |
| Same-day, you can miss one and take the next | Walk up at Mo Chit 2 or Arcade, posted board | Mixing a Facebook “VIP” with a government bus as one ticket |
| Sleeper berth | D-Ticket / SRT is the train product | 12Go as a berth |
| The listing is cheaper than the window | Read the operator name. Convenience is the product | A screenshot from May as this week’s fare |
I will not post a baht. Quote this week. Bus vs train is which night. This is how you pay.
Date, class, and which station you can actually stand in.
