Phitsanulok's busstation to MoChit

[FlorC]

Anybody familiar with Phitsanulok's busstation ? I will be arriving there in the

afternoon on a weekday ( because busses from my province are not at the right

time for me ). I can see on schedules that there are busses leaving for MoChit

around 20h00. If those busses are full , because I don't have a reservation , will

busses that come from all the northern provinces that stop in Phitsanulok big

busstation let me on ?
I'm talking about busses to Bangkok that come in Phitsanulok between 17h00 and

21h00. ( 6 hour drive to MoChit at night so arriving around 03h00 ).
I know there is a bus from Phitsanulok to Pattaya too , but it will probably take

highway 9 and then the 7 , but won't stop at the airport , or will it take the 34

Bangna-Trat highway ?

As soon as you arrive at the bus station, make some enquiries. If you are travelling solo, I think you will have a good chance of getting on a bus. P'lok is quite a big town; I would guess there to be 5 - 10 buses departing from there between 6 p.m. and midnight. Like you, I don't see any reason why a bus from P'lok. to Pattaya would travel via Bangkok.

I just found three departures by Sukhothai Win Tours (from P'lok) at 2200, 2245 and 2330 hrs. There should be other companies as well.

Thanks Allane.

Later than 21h00 , is not good , I like to keep some headroom for accidents , flat tyres , busdrivers that abandon the bus ,....
I went to ask in the morning in my busstation (Phrae) and all seats for the evening busses to Bangkok were taken. So if that happens in Phitsa too , I need to get on busses from other northern cities that stop there.
Bus to Pattaya would be great , I could skip MoChit/Bangkok , but you can't get of the 7 at the airport ...on foot...

_{Where are you going ? Are you going to Suwanaphum Airport to catch a flight ? If so, what time is your flight ?}

[FlorC]

Yes the airport .Just after midday.

Apparently not many foreign Phitsanulokians take the bus in their big busstation to Bangkok. Must be all of them accidents...

Why spend hours on a bus,when it's only a short flight.

Because airports s_ck. Airport security is a nightmare. Hate scanning of my luggage.

 

Phitsanulok bus terminal was ok . No problem getting on a bus to MoChit.
