Pattaya to Khorat

Hi, can someone advise me on the best way to travel from Pattaya to Khorat [Nakhon Ratchasima]



Many thanks



Pattaya to Khorat


You can go for the expense of a taxi i would guess about 5 to 7,000 baht or try and book a bus (air con and comfortable) for about 500 to 1000 baht. Someone else may have another way. Last year i went from Aranyapratet to Mukdahan for 200 baht and that was overnight for 8 hour trip.

Pattaya to Khorat


I used the bus station on Sukhumvit Road (near where Central meets Sukhumvit Road.)





I got the ticket the day before and left in the morning. Ride was pretty good and cheap too! Water was available and some sort of snack (think it was banana chips) and there was a toilet on board the bus.





There was a stop halfway to Khorat where a cheap meal was served for free. Remember to keep your valuables with you at your seat and not in the storage area under the bus. This is not specific to Thailand always keep your valuables - especially money, passport and electronics at your seat within sight.





If you have some time to kill hop on the local bus to Phimai (from Khorat) and check out that little town. Ride is about an hour and cheap.





You can stay in the Phimai Inn (on the main highway, across from the newer bus station.) This is not the old Phimai Hotel which is in town close to the ';old'; bus station! Not that confusing when you get there. See the Phimai Wat (good photos at nighttime if the lights are on.) Also visit the museum and the ';biggest Banyan Tree'; in Thailand! I don%26#39;t know if it is the biggest but it was kind of neat and cheap too! (Worked on two archeology digs out of Phimai and stayed at the Phimai Inn each night.)





Good luck.




THANK YOU Much appreciated
