Bangkok Airprt To Surin By Car

[Krub]

Hi

I plan to arrive in Bangkok Don Muang airport on a Saturday morning around 10am, pick-up a rent a a car and drive to Surin.

Assuming I am ready to leave the airport by 12, how long and which route do you recommend to get to Surin by evening ? or am I dreaming ?

Any recommendation on accomodation in Surin for a couple of nights before I drive on to Uttaradit ?

Thanks for yoru input

When you go from airport turn right.

Go on that road until you get to Saraburi. Very long way. I think 125km

When you get to Saraburi follow road to Narorn Ratchasima (Korat) Highway 2

Go more another 100km you are at Si-Khio junction Hwy 24 - GO HWY 24

Follow Hwy 24 for long way maybe 200km At Prasat Hwy 214 Turn Left Surin is 40km.

I am from Changwat Surin. I go many alot.

K. Lampshade, My Husband Mr Matt say Hwy 24 is better. He teach me to make #2

Yes; you're right of course Giah. Take route 24 at Sihkhio interchange. 45km's before Korat. We use both ways. Your way is probably easier for a newcomer to Surin. Did you not see my post Krub?

I've just seen and understood the last part of your post. I have a patent on breakfast #2. No copies allowed.

Actually as you leave the airport you have to turn left. Keep in the l/h lane and at the left of the entrance to the Tollway (about 1km) there is a flyover u-turn which will take you onto the Rangsitt Road to Saraburi.

It's easy once you've done it a couple of times.

Plenty of hotels in Surin, just turn up, you should arrive about 5 p.m.

That's right because that's when they close the gates.... stops the locals from escaping during the night...

Unless you are coming to Surin in November, of course; then hotel rooms will be like rocking horse sh1t.

Sleep in the back of the pick-up if there isn't a hotel.

DO NOT take Highway 24 in Siklo!!!

Do way through Korat/Buriram is much better - you have a nice highway to Korat and then not a bad road to Buriram and then Surin.

I go to Buriram quite often, took 24 once and will never do it again.
