kanderson Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Since I can't fly to Surin and car with driver seems a bit expensive ( from Ubon to Surin ) my first instinct would be sleeper train. Maybe someone could tell me if I might be miserable on the Bus ride. I have the money but if I could save on transport I could spend it on a more expensive hotel or something. Any comments appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacky54 Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Yellow bus goes from rama 2, 350 baht, forget how much it is from Morchit now. You can fly to Roi Et, about 2 hours by car to Surin town. The bus is miserable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post kamalabob2 Posted February 26, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted February 26, 2015 I've ridden on NCA.co.th from Surin to Bangkok and from Buriram to Bangkok. Excellent service, safe and clean buses. Gold class is my personal experience, the higher grade First class was not offered the days I rode the bus. I believe you will not be as pleased with Silver Class or Economy class. Easy to order the tickets on the telephone and pay at 7-11. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanderson Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 Thanks - this information really really helps me. I'm trying to avoid having to sleep over in BKK. I'll arrive at swampy about 11AM - so all options open I guess. I've been to most parts of the Kingdom - but not Issan area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have used that route many times. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kanderson Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 I've had one really nice bus ride from Chang Mai - enjoyed it better than the train. Also one miserable one where I got sick from eating a tuna sandwich at one of the stops. The toilet was full of turds - as I was puking. Something hard to forget. this is why I hadn't thought about the bus. Maybe it's getting the proper bus ? Or don't eat tuna sandwich unless you make it yourself. Roi Et I had no info on that - opens new possibility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
