Bangkok - Kamphaeng Phet - Tak - Chiang Mai

[healthcaretaker]

Anyone know whether there is any overnight bus from Bangkok to Kamphaeng Phet or Tak to Chiang Mai ?

Since Kamphaeng Phet and Tak are quite small, I am thinking of seeing them in the same day, arriving at night or early morning at KP and take a evening bus or late night bus to Chiang Mai.

Is this possible, anyone know the bus times from BKK to KP and Tak to CM ?

Thank you.

cannot recomommend this-both sectors a little too short for a night.

start with the pretty obvious: can you read Thai or have someone at hand who can help? if yes-some (not all) bus times ex BKK are on transport.co.th.

BUT -they only show the routebuses that actually end in either place-not the via's that go on to further towns, like f.e. Sukhothai. There certainly is an overnight (about 23.oo ex BKK/Mochit) to Sukh-simply ask to be let off (about 4.30-do you fancy that?) in your desired destination.

Overnight buses run Udorn/Khon Khaen/Khorat-also via Phitsanuloke-Sukhothai-Tak on to Cmai-you can only buy a ticket if they pass by and have seats-or you can risk taking the 2nd cl. bus and having to stand. Do you fancy that?

you might serach if there is a train to Phi-loke that might suit you and bus it onward from there-you can still reach Tak before 9.00 then.

rather I would skip those nighttrips and do it in 2 days-that would be much easier on the body-and if not-you loose day 2 in Cmai as you can only sleep then.

day 1-early bus out to either Kmp pet or Tak-check in HTL-lve luggage, peruse town.

day 2-get up rearly-leave luggage at busstation in the other town-see it and take a bus to Cmai late afternn.

Thank you to all of you.

I will probably take you advice but I may cut my time in BKK and Chinag Mai and make a trip to Mae Sot since I am close there. I wonder if there are many day bus from BKK to Kamphaeng Phet ?

Those websites given above are only in Thai or doesn't show bus time for Tak to Chiang Mai, can some help to check for me from the transport.co.th site ?
