asanee Posted April 20, 2006 Share Posted April 20, 2006 this airlink )not that much viable at any rate) has been withdrawn since last year. Alt: about 20 trains/day and a bus every 10 mins (halfhourly in the night). IF you are smart enough, one can even board that bus ACROSS from the airport at the layby just across from Wat DonMuang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnakeBite Posted April 21, 2006 Author Share Posted April 21, 2006 What about Nakhon Ratchasima? I went to the Thai Air website but it doesn't come up with anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elsie Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 (edited) I've looked at every airlines website I can think of. And it seems none of them fly to Nakhon Ratchasima anymore. Not even Thai Airways. Edited April 21, 2006 by LovelyCutie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdnvic Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 Probably best to fly PB Air to Buriram and then it's just a short coach trip to Korat. cv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnakeBite Posted April 21, 2006 Author Share Posted April 21, 2006 Thanks cdnvic for the info and I will inform my friend. All the best Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdinasia Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 (edited) PB ... cannot land in Europe due to poor maintenance .... plus add the trip to Don Muang ... PB's late departures etc ... take as bus from MorChit or a train from HuaLomphong!@ Edited April 21, 2006 by jdinasia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PB Air doesn't even fly internationally except for one route to Vietnam. Read the full list of banned airlines supplied by the EU and you will not see PB Air on it. Be a bit more careful when posting. I cannot find any record of safety incidents with PB Air in any accident database, or news archives. From what I can see their safety record looks good. Plenty of news stories about bus crashes in Thailand though. cv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdinasia Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 (edited) right on both counts ... thought PB (though note I did not use PBAir) was the IATA code for Phuket Airlines (did not mean to make a libelous statement) PB is actually the IATA code for a Canadian Airlines (Provincial) As for PB Air ... there is almost ZERO information on the web (that would include Zero information on any accidents ... very probably a good thing!!! and zero info on the fleet's maintenance ... whether they are leased or owned etc ... not so good!) Again ... I maide a mistake above though ... and readily admit it :-) and again no "Libel" intended That being said. I do have a personal distaste for planes with propellors so all in all; I still happily stand with using Bus or Train to Nakhon Ratchasima though Plenty of pretty country and not much more time involved! ((before someone looks to see if PB Air flies prop planes ... that impression came from the one website beyond theirs that I found them mentioned on ... their website says they are only using 2 models of jet now)) pps and at 4,720 baht to Buriram Round Trip .... plus then getting from Buriram to Nakhorn Ratchasima Round trip etc .... not very cost effective even when weighed against time constraints Edited April 21, 2006 by jdinasia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lopburi3 Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 And if you travel by train from the airport you just cross using the walkway to the hotel from Terminal 1 and exit into the train station - there is no need to go downtown or even use a taxi.
