watthong Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 We (one fit senior couple) are planning to visit Phi Mai + Phanom Rung for a 1 week/10 days trip, coming up from BKK and using Korat as base. We are not so keen on motosai taxis (short 1-2 km distance is ok but not longer or our nerves will get frayed...) and would like to get info on 4-wheeled transportation. Besides renting a van/car with driver for ourselves, just wondering about most current options on using public bus/minivan etc. to get to the temples. Thank you in advance for any tips or advice/price range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
my friend I Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 Those places are in Thailand nowadays. Consider posting in the Isarn forum for information. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denim Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 If you stay at a half decent hotel in a nearby town , you can ask the receptionist to arrange transport for you , to and from. There is a good chance they can steer you in the right direction with a contact phone number. In bigger cities there might even be a Grab option but I can't say for sure. Worth checking. Try to go to these places midweek and in the morning. Less crowded and a bit cooler. We had the place almost to ourselves. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was your trip recent? if so could I ask what kind of transportation you used and the cost? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunLA Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 (edited) Go to PhiMai first, since smaller, and the museum is on the road into town. Many pass it without realizing it. No rec on transport, as self drive, but as suggested, surely your accommodations will know of. Edited July 5, 2023 by KhunLA 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we'll do meung tam as well, since we have the time... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We drove in our own car so pretty easy to get there early. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
