mrblonde Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 As a lot of you will know I'm having 5 nights in Buriram in November (day or 2 in Surin by moped to the elephant festival) so 3 or 4 days in Burriam itself. Are there taxis/baht buses/tuk-tuks to flag down on an evening to get home after a few beers in the centre? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allane Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 While I have never been to Buriram, I have been in many places all around Thailand. Thee is never a shortage of guys looking for a chance to take a white guy for a ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katana Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 (edited) Haven't been there for some time, but the last time I was there (some years ago!), there were bicycle rickshaws. Buriram town isn't that big and most places were walkable from your hotel. Edited September 23, 2017 by katana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buick Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 buriram city does not really have moto taxis or a baht bus system. you can call taxis and they often charge a flat fee (no meter), 100thb or 200thb. try to get a taxi phone number from your hotel.

electric Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 There are plenty of taxis and tuk-tuks. You will not have any problem getting around the city area 24/7 There are a couple of songtow routes, but no regular timetabled short journey route busses within town. Even though the Buriram taxis are licenced as meter taxis, they rarely use the meter. It's a negiotated price before the trip begins. Get a Thai speaker to do it for you.

Thai Chi Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Buriram taxi 24 hour number is 044 613 662. Best to have a Thai speaker available for directions. Higher prices than Bangkok as the meter is not used. From the center of town to say, Cresco Hotel / Footy Stadium / Racetrack, would be 150 Baht.

Jip99 Posted September 24, 2017 Share Posted September 24, 2017 Air Asia run a minivan into Buriram. Not sure how you book it, perhaps have a look on their website. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
