triffid Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Would appreciate advice on ways to do this reliably and more cheaply than hiring a taxi all the way - need to be at airport by 6 am - (Luggage is just a normal size suitcase and carry-on bag).

ubonjoe Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 One option I can think of is a train from Pak Chong to Lak Si and then a taxi from there to the airport. Here is the schedule. Source (click Northeast line). https://www.thairailwayticket.com/eTSRT/Default.aspx You can buy the tickets on the site also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
triffid Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 Thanks Ubonjoe. Presumably taxis are sure to be available at all hours at Laksi train station. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 Another obvious cheap choice are buses (coaches) of course. Most will go to Mochit (Morchit) eastern bus terminal. I can't supply the schedules but this route (highway #2 down to Bangkok) is one of the most busy routes of all. Hardly more than 30 minutes wait for another bus (during late night, more like 15 minutes during peak times). Allow three hours for the bus trip. Best go to the bus station(s) in Pak Chong and ask. And again best take a taxi from Morchit. Maybe another member has hints on preferred bus companies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

triffid Posted July 31, 2018 Author Share Posted July 31, 2018 I think I prefer Laksi train to Mochit bus, with taxi on to airport - especially as duration all-in seems similar. If for any reason the train doesn't work out it's good to know that the buses are frequent - presumably around the clock. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allane Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 Thai trains often run late. You have been warned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
