seasia Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Hello I need to go to Surin early next week, planning to fly in to Ubon from BKK, likely morning arrival, just after 7.00AM, 2nd arrival time option would be about lunch time , just after 12.05 . Could anyone please advise as to approximate travel time and cost for the onward journey to Surin ? train, bus or taxi ? I have never been to Ubon, was thinking of spending just 1 night there on the return journey so 2nd question is any recommendation for a cheapish place to stay, say 500-700 baht, only need somewhere clean and preferably near a few places to go for something to eat in the evening, maybe a beer also.Anywhere central ? Guesthouse type place fine. Appreciate any useful replies. Have had a search but time is a bit pushed to find information Thank You Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happylarry Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 Ubon then "onwards to Surin". Have you looked at a map my friend.....if you travel onwards from Ubon you will be in Laos. You will have to travel back towards Bangkok for a good couple of hours, maybe more as I havent done it myself but just looking at google earth. So why not save yourself time and money by getting a bus from Mo Chit to Surin, about a six hour journey, and if you want to spend an extra night somewhere then stop off in Korat on the way for your night out.

khwaibah Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 (edited) and the rail road line between Surin and Ubon are washed out due to rains. NCA bus from BK to Surin 6 hours, 460 baht. BTW NCA bus ruins from Ubon to Surin about 3 hours and on to BK. http://primia.net/thaibus/ http://www.nakhonchaiair.com/index.php Edited September 28, 2013 by khwaibah 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DILLIGAD Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 or fly to Satuk (Buriram) as that's only about an hours drive to Surin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seasia Posted September 28, 2013 Author Share Posted September 28, 2013 or fly to Satuk (Buriram) as that's only about an hours drive to Surin. Thanks, tried that, flights for my dates sold out, rang Nok Air, left it too late for that. It would have been ideal. I hadn`t realised that was an option..my fault. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transam Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 There is a good bus service to Surin. Bus depot about 10 minutes taxi ride from airport. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
