sillybilly Posted September 29, 2016 Share Posted September 29, 2016 Can someone please tell me where this place is located??? I was sent these photos by a close friend who tells me they are just outside of Bangkok but I don`t know where. Also if possible what would be the best way to try and visit them... Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sillybilly Posted September 30, 2016 Author Share Posted September 30, 2016 So how far a driver is it??? An idea on how much to offer a taxi guy for the days hire to take me there??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted September 30, 2016 Share Posted September 30, 2016 (edited) About 400 km oneway from Bangkok. 5h drive under easy traffic out of Bangkok (but when is that ). Taxi? About 4000 Baht for taxi oneway. Feasible options would be a public bus to Phetchabun and taxi from there. Overnight necessary, But here I can not help with details (bus trip 6h to 7h I guess).

An idea on how much to offer a taxi guy for the days hire to take me there??? Try Google Maps: Bangkok to Wat Pha Sorn Kean... Its about 450 kms and will take about 5 or 6 hours to get there.... Cost: No idea - I'd guess at about 6000 baht round trip but I could be way off the mark. Another option could be Bus it up to Petchabun and hire a taxi from there... OR... Hire a car and drive.
