Long distance buses: Buses to the Cambodian border
  • Tip Rating:
  • If you decide to go on your own to Cambodia by bus, you will have to leave from Morchit Bus Station, in the north part of the city, near the Chatuchak Market.
    There you catch a bus that takes youto the Cambodian border in 4 hours (164 Bahts).

    There is no direct bus to Siem Reap (Angkor Wat). You have to reach Aranyaprathet, then a moto to take you to the border and after crossing the border take a private taxi (you can share it with other travelers) to Siem Reap.

    You can find detailed info on this trip at the website "Tales of Asia" (see link below).

    Long distance buses: KSR buses to Angkor Wat (Cambodia)
  • Tip Rating:
  • The cheapest way to get to Angkor Wat temples (Cambodia) from Bangkok is to take a bus from Khao San Road. There are many travel agencies running minibuses there. Nat Guest House (by the middle of the street) is a good one.
    It may cost you about 2-3 USD, but will take you almost the whole day. The bus leaves early in the morning (no night bus, the border is closed), gets to the border around 1 pm, then it takes about 1-2 hours for the whole group to pass the customs. Another 4 hours to Siem Reap.

    When you get there, the bus will take you directly to the guesthouse they recommend. You may either just stay there, or go down, take a taxi and go to your own.

    Long distance buses: Sabaidee Bus (Laos)
  • Tip Rating:
  • There are daily buses from Khao San Road directly to Laos (Vientiane) leaving in the evening, and arriving in the early morning. They are modern 2 storey buses with video, music, WC... For about 6 USD you get the transportation, border crossing guide with the group, and the dinner included.

    You can book it at any guesthouse or travel agency, Nat Guest House is one of the classic ones.

    Long distance buses: Southern Bus Terminal-Buses from KL and Singapore
  • Tip Rating:
  • Terminal Picture from net - Bangkok

    All package tour buses from the south (KL and Singapore) arrive at the Southern Bus Terminal in Bangkok. This is FAR from the center of Bangkok and Khao San areas. Most buses, because of the length of the trip, arrive at some ungodly hour of the night. It is best to find a taxi quickly and just go. The entire area is filled with people you won't be inviting home any time soon.

    Long distance buses: Beware of being conned!
  • Tip Rating:
  • There's once where my friends and I wanted to take an express bus to Pattaya from Bangkok at the bus terminal. The usual price is around 100 baht and the journey takes 2 hours. While we were at the terminal, a bus driver approach us to take his express bus to Pattaya at a cost of 70 baht. We took that. However it took us 4 hours to get there as the bus made a lot of stops along the way and he didnt drive along the highway. It was almost evening when we reach and we couldn't find any budget accommodation and have to settle for a middle range one.

    Long distance buses: Leaving Bangkok by Bus
  • Tip Rating:
  • Buses are the most popular mode of public transport in Thailand because of their flexibilty and convenience. They go to every province and they leave Bkk often.
    There are 3 major A/C bus stations in Bangkok. The southern terminal is called 'sai tai mai', and takes you to anyplace west and south of Kanchanaburi, down to the Malay border provinces. The station is across the river and not hard to get to from Khao San Road.
    The next is Morchit (Dr. Close, for you Thai speakers). Takes you to anywhere in the central, north and northeastern part of the country, sort of anything east and north of Ayuthaya including all those central provinces like Saraburi and Nakhon Nayok, not to mention the whole of Esan (the northeast). Morchit is in the Chatuchak part of town, near the weekend market and it's very big (and quite new - built in 97). There is one section of it for northern buses and one section for northeastern buses, but you can figure that out when you get there. English help is available.
    Then there is Ekamai - the eastern bus station. It is way out on Sukhumvit Road around soi 63 - or close to it. Hard to miss. You can take the skytrain to the Ekamai stop. Buses from here take you to all destinations like Chonburi (home of Pattaya), Rayong, Trat (drop off for Koh Chang) and Chanthaburi (home of the best durian and other yummy fruit) and other provinces down there, east and southeast of Bangkok.
    Some companies have buses leaving from Khao San or the Indra Hotel or their own little headquarters in the city, but all government buses and most private ones leave from these three locations. If you are hoping to travel overnight on a VIP bus on a Friday or Sunday night, you might want to get to the bus station a day ahead and buy your ticket in advance to ensure you get a spot.
    All bus trips over 4 hours have a stop somewhere in the middle at a designated location where you can use the facilities (all first class and VIP buses have toilets on them) and get food. A VIP ticket often includes food at the rest stop.

    Long distance buses: Southern Bus Terminal
  • Tip Rating:
  • The Bangkok Southern Bus Terminal has a number of problems - it's on a small, crowded site off a busy road, and worst of all it's out of the way, in a north-western(!) suburb. Nevertheless if you are heading on a bus going south you may have to head here - it's across Pinklao Bridge, past the Central Pinklao shopping mall, and it's on the left as you head out of town - look for the big blue sign above all the buses. Taking a taxi is probably the only straightforward way to get to this place.

    There are long-term plans to move this bus station to somewhere more sensible - hopefully this will happen sooner rather than later.
