Getting around by bus and coach Bangkok

North of Thonburi, the station serves all the South-West of the country up to the border with Malaysia (Phuket, Surat Thani, Hat Yai, Narathiwat...), as well as the western area of Kanchanaburi. Because of its location and the lack of reliable transport to get there, a large margin must be allowed for as it can take a considerable amount of time to get there by taxi or bus due to traffic (from 30 minutes to more than an hour from the centre).

This bus station serves the east of the country, the Pattaya region as well as the whole of south-eastern Thailand (Chonburi, Chanthaburi, Rayong, Koh Samet, Trat, Koh Chang...) up to the border of Cambodia. Every wicket has its destination! VIP buses to Koh Chang leave early in the morning and include the ferry crossing. The BTS station just next door allows you to easily reach the city centre, otherwise taxis are located in front of it (watch out for prices!).

It is the largest bus station in Thailand. Although it is primarily focused on the northern and northeastern regions (Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Nong Khai, Ubon Ratchathani, Udon Thani, etc.), some buses also leave for the west. Just go to the information booths and ask the helpful and knowledgeable staff which counter to use for your desired destination. The terminal is far from the city centre, but it is close to the Mo'Chit BTS station.
