Ngv Van Service Replaces Cancelled Bus 556

[ricklev]

I commute between Chiang Mai and Bangkok weekly and really missed the 556 bus. Happy to report that the NGV van service from the transportation center has picked up the route and will drop you off anywhere after it gets off the expressway at Phetchaburi road. It's 60 baht and far better than that truly absurd khao san "express"bus. (Probably not so useful if you have much baggage.)

Hope this helps someone.....

556 was still running some 6 weeks ago. When did they discontinue that route?

to khaosan rd runs a4 or a5 - it's 150baht and is quite regular (only if they had never buses doing more than 6o km/h) and doesn't have that many stops as 556
