Early Morning Bus From Bkk To Khon Kaen Or Mukdahan, Do You Know Any ? From Airport Or Mochit ?

[Soboringtochooseaname]

Hello,

Do you know the schedule of morning bus from Bkk to Khon khaen or Mukdahan or at least which company goes there ?

Do you also think that day time buses are safer than night time because driver will speed less and won't fall asleep ?

Your opinion welcome.

If you can't read Thai click on the 4th one from the left on the blue boxes at the top which is the timetable and the Khon Kaen route from BKK is the top right one.

I do not have statistics about the bus accidents and unfortunately there are horror accidents also in the day time.

But I prefer to use a daytime bus from my own driving experience.

Night time driving upcountry is a nightmare to me.

And most important: mca has suggested NCA company which is known to have a good standard in the condition of buses and drivers.

And that is the most important factor.

So many hooligans behind bus steering wheels.

I haven't used Nachonchai air VIP for a while, they used to be the company I would always use as first choice, but now I prefer Chan Tour "S" class

here's a link that gives some details of the buses

I like the fact that they have individual video screens with choice of movies and music on demand. I don't actually use the screens much, but like the fact that you are not forced to listen to a movie/music at a high volume as on some buses.

If going from Mochit, I don't think that the ticket windows have any information signs in English, so you may have some difficulties if you cannot read Thai and are travelling alone.

Here is the name of the company written in Thai

ชาญทัวร์

Note that the ช (first letter) on the logo looks like a bird (in fact is the reverse of the Singapore airlines logo)

Sorry, I have no details of timetable and unable to find a website for the company.

Of course CHANTOUR is a lot better than NCA, and the first reason is that they only have double decker buses: you will be sat with only low educated people speaking loudly on their phone !

Also, it's true that individual screens are betetr than loud TV, but it seems that Nakon Chai Air also have them in all buses.

Thai buses are like silver bullets... if they have your name on them, it doesn't matter whether they're daytime or nighttime. (Some of them seem to travel as fast. too)
