GreenBus
In 1964, Mr. Kamron Thongkhamkoon established Thaipattanakit Transport Co., Ltd., marking the beginning of the company now known as Greenbus. Initially, the company operated a single route between Lampang and Chiang Rai with wooden-bodied buses resembling trucks. The distinctive green color of these buses earned them the nickname “Green Mail.” 60 years later, GreenBus is one of the largest bus operators in Thailand, covering routes all over the country.
The company is headquartered in Chiang Mai, and operates from the Arcade Bus Terminal (Bus Terminal 3). It serves many popular destinations, including Chiang Rai, Bangkok, Phuket, and Krabi.
