Dave the Dude Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 (edited) Hi songhklasid I cannot advise about your journey ubon>Surin but the rest is do-able. Be aware that hotels are usually full well in advance of the Elephant Festival. Maybe a call to Martin of the Ferang Connection, Surin might be an idea. He's a helpful old fart!

gosompoi Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I personally would hire a truck/taxi to drive me to Ubon Ratchithani then fly to Siem Riep on Airasia. That would the be the fastest, 1000 baht for truck and 3 hour drive. The bus is an option if time and comfort are not your concerns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the guy is starting from Ubon, then why would he want to pay 3,000 for a truck when you can walk to the Airport from the town center? The main road to Siem Riep goes through Chong Sa Ngam in Sisaket province. D the D is right though, a lot of the top hotels are full already and I have a waiting list for the Majestic. I can put you in Jit Sawat or Sang Thong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume that is via Bangkok ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AjarnNorth Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Yes, you can make it in a day. Leave Surin early. Minivan from Surin bus station to Chong Jom / O'smach (60 baht). Cross border. Haggle with taxi drivers until you get them down to 2,000 or thereabouts. You'll be in Siam Reap by early afternoon barring any unforseen circumstnces which will almost certainly happen in which case you'll still be there before 3 or 4.
