Stekmer Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 I originally posted this question in the Central Forum - possibly the wrong place. I'm after information on getting from Nong Khai to Nakhon Phanom - either direct bus links or options from Udon Thani. I'm heading to Nong Khai (flight from Bangkok) on Nov 17th and have been searching to try to find out if the old Bus from Nong Khai is still running along the river front route to Nakhon Phanom. I've taken this old bus twice before and quite enjoyed the slow pace and scenery along the way. All I can find is that the Phetprasert Bus Company has a Chiang Mai to Nakhon Phanom bus that stops in Udon Thani at 0715 am - but - their website is in Thai only and the 4 or 5 booking websites I've tried show nothing operating at all. Is there only 1 bus a day from Udon Thani Bus Station 1 to Nakhon Phanom - or - am I looking in the wrong places. Thanks in advance for any local insights.

Issanman Posted November 6, 2023 Share Posted November 6, 2023 At Nong Khai, you can take the bus to Ban Phaeng. From there you can get a bus to Nakhon Phanom. I am sorry, but I do not know the bus schedule. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I gather a bus from Udon Thani to Nakhon Phanom is a bit faster and will investigate the departure times if no bus from Nong Khai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's some beautiful scenery along the Mekhong River. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
