Going to Poipet.

[Deserted]

Could someone please tell me when the buses from Mho Chit Mai start going to Aranya Prathet in the morning please. How long do they usually take?

Would someone care to suggest which is faster, bus or train. I checked it out. On the websites it says bus 5. 20 mins, for train 5 h 40 mins. Sound right? I don't remember the train being that fast but its a long time since I took it

"The train from Bangkok is six and a half hours."

The above quote from a guy on another forum who did the trip earlier this month.

Thanks, I thought that was the case. I think I will take the bus around 7am.

Train id very slow and schedule is infrequent. Always arrives beind schedule. Bus definitely faster snd usually leave every 1 - 1 1/2 hours. 

 

In addition it is 3rd class only on train, hard uncomfortable wooden seats.
