sakaew Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 I need to go from Don Muang to Sakaew, in about 2 weeks time. It's about a 3 hour trip. Does anyone have any idea how much it is likely to cost? Can anyone recommend a reliable guy with a car? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazza Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 You may have the option of getting there by train from the airport depending on the time of your arrival and train departures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charles Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 (edited) Train is virtually free but painfully slow, probably almost 6 hours starting from Don Muang. At a rough guess, I think a taxi should go for 2,000 baht or less. I'd be reluctant to pay more than that. May have to bargain/shop around a little though.

penelope Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 Why not pop into Avis at the airport and drive up there. FYI , the train stops next to Wat Ban Kheng, about 10 mins from downtown Sa Kaeo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfessorFart Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 I'd forget the train. It tends to be crowded and painfully slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Highwayman Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 The Aranyprathet bus stops at Sa Kaew. From Morchit it would be about 4 hours. From the airport you could get a taxi (less than 100 baht) to the bus stop opposite Future Park (see below), takes about 15 minutes, then depending on how long you have to wait for the Aranyprathet bus that would get you to Sa Kaew in about three and a half hours for less than 200 baht.

sakaew Posted February 17, 2005 Author Share Posted February 17, 2005 Some good suggestions here. Thanks. BUT...I need to carry some large, heavy suitcases...which rules out public transport. My pick-up is in Sakaew....so renting from Don Muang is not an option. Taxi--or some kind of Hire Car is the way to go, I think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakesideas Posted February 17, 2005 Share Posted February 17, 2005 I went from central BKK to Sakaew last week for 1400 B (by taxi) and that was the day before Chinese New Year. I think you could go for 1200 B if you find the a taxi driver who will go. You will have to ask quite a few taxis at the airport before you find one that will go but you should be able to find one.
