how do you get to the buffalo farm suphanburi from bkk? Mini van from where? Cost and how long does it take? Thanks!

The Buffalo Farm is located in the town of Sam Chuk in Suphanburi Province, off of Hwy 340. The best way to get there is to take a mini-van that goes to either Sam Chuk or Tha Chang (located just north of Sam Chuk). Unfortunately, I don't have any idea where these mini-vans leave from in Bangkok. Hopefully someone else can help you locate the departure point. The trip should take about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.

1,5 hrs is hopeless optimistic-or perhaps vying for death by speeding.

Vans to Suphan come aplenty-there must be at least 5 different stops, but it seems they slightly differ between underway and terminal points. Anyway: at least 3 from just aside that by many TV users so maligned Khao sarn rd-the big raod Ratchdamnern, between the new BKK/BMA-museum and Sanam Luang-that side, and also from across the bridge in Thonburi-PATA and Centran Pinklao. Fare about 120/140 bt, lve when full, mostly stops combined with Kanchanaburi vans-but open mouth, ask and ticketsellers will point you (even this basic way to do escapes most www-only users). I think finding vans back the other side may be more of a challenge. DO make very sure when around what time the last van back to BKK is supposed to go-can be as early as 16/17.00

For those too fearful for the vans: there are still normal big buses, to either Suphan or onward via TaChang to some other place, from the new Sai Thai Taling Chan-buses 507,511 end there, 556, 515,124,123 pass by- these are mostly about hourly.

Any mini vans from Victory Monument? I stay around Onnut, so trying to track down the places you mention probably would take me as long as the trip to Suphan...

or maybe a mini van from victory monument to suphan city, then could I get a taxi to the baan kwaai? About how far from suphan city to the farm? thx
