VIP Bus Travel - Pattaya to Khon Kaen

[silicastorm]

Tried search here on the forum and didnt come up with anything, but maybe I am looking in the wrong place.

 

Can you give advise on options for traveling by VIP bus from Pattaya to Khon Kaen as I can not fly due to still waiting for the Moderna I ordered from Bangkok Pattaya hospital months ago?

 

Thanks guys,,,,

You can certainly get to Nakhon Ratchasima using Nakonchai Air, the Pattaya bus station is on Sukhumvit... turn right out of Klang immediately on the left.. https://goo.gl/maps/46g6uu9tthnfaSjQ8

It is the Rayong-Ubon route and picks up in Pattaya and you can get off at Nakhon Ratchasima and change for the short ride to KK.

407 Bus company at Petronas gas station on Pattaya Klang and Shukumvit goes from Pattaya to Nong Kai and stops in Khon Kean.

The short ride to KK takes about 3 hours.

Nothing like the interminable Pattaya to N.R. ... slow over them hills.

I don't know if they're still running, but Chan Tours used to do this route.  Location is shown in the link, but they're in between Nakhonchai and 407 if you go there to make enquiries.

Yes they're open, I drive past them many times.  My wife used to use this bus station when she didn't feel like driving up to the KK area.

 

Another option is taking a bus from Pattaya to the Mochit bus station in BKK then switch to the KK bus.

 

OP, you should ask the bus stations them about not having the covid vaccine/testing.
