This was the interior of the bus i rode from Chang Mai to Thaton. Can you say 1950's? My final destination was another town called Chang Rai, and i could have either taken a direct 4 hour busride from Chang Mai to Chang Rai, or, plan b was to take the bus to Thaton, stay the night at a riverside bungalow speaking german with a bunch of germans, then take a 4 hour boat ride to reach Chang Rai. I went with option b.
