Any suggestions on what is the best bus terminal to use ?

frequency of buses ?

Possible mini van option from Victory Monument ?

Expert Advice Appreciated

I'm not 100% sure about Victory monument vans but i think there are some. Defo if you go to Southern bus terminal (sai tai mai) at Taling Chan. You can get a bus to Ratchaburi about every hour. Also if you are in town the train goes from hulamlompoo(crap spelling) station to Ratchaburi. Just a thought.

I know there is a train to Nakon Patom , will this be the same train that continues on to Ratchaburi ?

It is only like twice a day correct ? once really early and another midday train ?

I live in Ratchaburi. you can take a van from Victory Monument it's near the Fashion Mall just in back of the bus stop. Ask anyone they will tell you. It leaves about every hour on the hour the cost is 120 baht it takes you to Big C in Ratchaburi. You can also go by bus from the Southern Bus Terminal. Bus leaves every 20 minutes cost is about 87 baht and it leaves you off at either Big C or at the train station.

ANOTHER IDEA:

Go to Any Bar in Bangkok, and find a girl from Ratchaburi, have them arrange the trip for you ... it's not far at all
