Good Samaritans stop Pattaya transwoman stealing from German

[utapaortnab]

Howdy,

On 21 May, Lat and I plan to leave Chiayaphum by bus for Korat and then meet up with our niece who attends college in Korat and transfer by bus on to Pattaya Beach (hopefully avoiding a transfer again in Bangkok).

I know that Korat has more than one bus station and that there is a possibility that we will have to change from one bus station when coming in from Chiayaphum to another in order to continue on to Pattaya.

My question is:

What time does the buses leave for Pattaya from Korat and is there such a thing as non-stop or express buses and if so what is their departure time from Korat and arrival time in Pattaya and what terminal do they leave from (terminal name or location/address).

Thanks for any help you can offer,

Chaiyaphum buses arrive at Khon Kaen road bus station, Korat and Pattaya buses leave from the same station,are regular, and tickets are bought at the bus station. A ticket ensures you get a seat. I don't know the exact times of the buses from Korat to Pattaya. Chaiyaphum bus station office should know otherwise email from this site and I will go and look for you.

You can purchase a ticket from Nokon Chai Air which runs VIP buses from Ubon to Pattaya that stops in Korat. Very comfortable, takes about 4 hrs from Korat to Pattaya. I don't have the time schedules, but you can get them from Nokonchaiair.com
