I live close to Bangkok Hospital and the old location was perfect. From Bangkok Hospital, turn right onto route 12 and head west. Pass the airport turn and then bear left onto link road that joins the by-pass to Korat. Keep heading south until you see sign to bus station off on your right. This avoids much of the traffic and traffic lights on southbound route 2 in the city. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Bangkok Barry Posted November 24, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 24, 2018 They know that many who have to visit Immigration come from out of town and will travel to KK by bus, and they very helpfully base themselves at the bus station. That, in Thailand, is quite astonishing. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post slappy Posted November 24, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 24, 2018 Better for some, worst for others, Including me, come from the north. But as someone else mentioned earlier, typical Thai logic. Why spend a lot of money on a refit, and then just move. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No personal experience as I drive, just what I read I'm not local but have often taken a taxi between the bus station and the airport. Fares are very reasonable and they actually use the meter if you go to the official stand. Fares to/from downtown would not be excessive either, I imagine. As for public transport to/from the bus station, others can answer that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Russell17au Posted November 24, 2018 Share Posted November 24, 2018 There is a bus that covers a lot of the Khon Kaen area that operates from the bus station 3 and it only cost 10baht plus there are a few songtaews that go there from in the city. There is more public transport to there than there is to the old office Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EVERYTHING is 'donated' look at the back of the chairs, for example, from Mataneedon School, Air Conditioners from another school in the city centre, etc. BIG corruption here is well-known among us long-term expats and local Thais Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
