T_Dog Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 Not many people know that you can take a bus from Helsinki to Chiang Mai. From Chiang Mai it will go to Malaysia and then to Australia headed for Alaska from what I understand. Does anyone have any links to the schedule? It leaves soon from Pattaya for Alaska via Australia. A fun trip if you like hanging out with crazy Finns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bendejo Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 I heard about this while crossing the bridge to Koh Samui from the mainland. The ones who know about it have been hospitalized. There will be a knock on your door soon... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T_Dog Posted November 2, 2011 Author Share Posted November 2, 2011 That would be it! Quite unreal to see this bus from Helsinki driving around Chiang Mai and parked in a Moo Baan as they awaited the next leg. Onward Ever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StreetCowboy Posted November 2, 2011 Share Posted November 2, 2011 (edited) And is there a stopping service as well, or just the express? SC EDIT: I love the comments - "a bus is very tiring"; reminds me of the Thurso-boy's comments before I left "sure and if I was choosing somewhere to live, I don't think I'd move to Hong Kong" Edited November 2, 2011 by StreetCowboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T_Dog Posted November 3, 2011 Author Share Posted November 3, 2011 The route in finnish http://www.rantapallo.fi/pikavuoro/reitti/ Kiitos! Sure sounds like they had a rough trip, leaving in the cold season rather than waiting until it warmed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beechboy Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 What's the timescale? I once went from Helsinki to St. Petersburg in the daily train. That took long enough. What about all the visas they need? Self induced nightmare IMHO. The plane is no particular fun, but that's for me. I'll do without the adventure, I should also imagine that it would cost a lot more than the equvalent plane trip. As somebody said, what about breakdowns? What if somebody gets seriously ill, especially the driver (s?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if somebody gets seriously ill, especially the driver (s?) Why would anyojne want to go from Helsinki to Australia by bus? That would be lunacy. Unlike taking a bus from Helsinki to Australia. Its not the going, its the taking. I cycled to somewhere near Dunfermline once. I'd not recommend that farm, nor the chip shop, but it was still a nice trip. Sometimes the goal is the journey, not the destination. Let's face it, if we were that worried about the destination rather than the journey, we'd spend less time drinking and whoring as we shuffled our way through this morbid mortal coil SC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the start of Wee Chookie's training for a ride from Land's End to John O'Groats. I believe they never got there, giving up somewhere North of Wick. Its the journey, not the destination...
