Hi,

 

Planning to cross the border on Tuesday morning from Pakse with the 8.30 AM bus, then take a flight to Bangkok.

 

I'd prefer landing in BKK as Pattaya is my final destination.

 

The only afternoon option is the 14.10 Thai smile flight.

 

Could someone who use regularly this bus tells me if have big chance to get this flight, means leaving Pakse at 8.30 a,d then getting a taxi or tuk tuk at Ubon Bus station and being at check in around 13.10.

 

The other option would be a nok air flight at 14.55 but landing in don mueang.

 

Thanks

Never done it myself but I would say you can make it.

The bus schedule states 3 hours for the  trip. Google maps says 2 hours and 15 minutes for the trip.

Take a Taxi from the bus station. It will cost at the most 120 baht or so. Tuk tuks will rip you off plus the they cannot go to the terminal.

If you print out your boarding pass and have no luggage to check you could get to the airport a half hour before your flight leaves and still make your flight.

Thanks ubonjoe.

 

As I have luggage, i think i will take the nok air flight at 2.55PM to be on the safer side although i really wanted to avoid Don Mueang.

 

Moreover this flight is more pricey...

Don't forget you can also fly direct from Pakse to Suvarnabhumi on Lao Airlines. Very quick and easy.
