I wouldnt fuck around with any thing, trains, buses all have their drawbacks, last time I came up was by car, comfortable AC Camry door to door, airport Suvy whatever.
Friend aranged it comforable car, Issarn speaking, native from near where yr wife lives, honest, no BS and not at all reckless.
Well recommended.
I think the cost was 6000 Bt but that is a relatives price.
There can’t be good living where there is not good drinking
Got any air miles accrued with Thai we used to use them for free flights inside Thailand only paid tax which was about 400 baht.Plus Thai keep sending me emails if you book on their website get free internal flights.And their not that expensive these days.We hired a taxi to Ubon and back driver fell asleep 3am nearly killed us i woke him up before we ran into the back of a cement mixer.He fell asleep 2 more times after that i had to keep waking him up.Just call it extreme taxi rides.

You can get 3 return flights and a nosh for that
^ I've often found here that "special " prices from BiLs, cousins etc are very special indeed.
The last time (and I do mean the LAST time) I used those fvckers, I had a particularly bad hangover in Vientienne, couldn't hack a bus/train and had a few spare shekels so sat in an internet cafe in vientienne, and booked a flight from vientienne to BKK. Only after they took the money do they tell you it's overland to Nong Khai - with some serious stopovers and delays.Originally Posted by Dillinger
Fuck Nok Air - more slippery than a slippery fish covered in slippery oil
What day do you arrive in Bangkok Nige?
Sorry Nigel,
I didn't mean to sound like a smart arse but Ive had some shockers of Bus rides in my early years in Thailand and now avoid them at all costs.
For me personally, its either fly, Train or hire a car and drive myself, my life is worth much more than saving Baht by getting in one of those buses whether there Government run or not.
My nervous system just cant hack it and I'm sure its got something to do with my line of work and seeing the aftermath of road trauma maybe once too often.
Have a good trip mate and I hope your new house build works out for you.
Cheers with it all.
Youve been flashing your notes around on here for days now terry.Originally Posted by terry57
First there was the cheapskate with the 700 baht taxi from Swampy, then the bender with the short time room in Chiang Mai, now this.
The least you could do is do a mate a favour and pay for Nige's donkey ride to Udon
Just use your air miles its 15000 air miles for a return trip within Thailand.

Just like to take this opportunity to thank all of those who have PM,d me and emailed me various offers of help with transport and some accommodation over the period of our extended stay in Thailand this year .
You know who you are so I wont embarrass you on here ( mabe somewhere else later on though )
Its great to see such kindness by the vast majority
^ Don't forget toppin and tailin here in Malaysia too bud.
Take your pants off and make more room an all that
Train, Nige - overnight sleeper. Nice trip.
Or through the day. Overnight journeys are good for valium munching, beer swilling reprobates.Originally Posted by Bettyboo
Sounds ideal for Nige, actually...
Your getting a tad too close to the bone there mate ^
Like it or not I find your company very pleasant, like most of the fellows that attend the world series cricket, Germans and Ozzies included.
One American that can't hold his liquer too well but he's got the message and prefers solace.
I find it satisfing that we have found the formula for world peace, and despite being citizens of the world, we all get on together, now we just have to cater for the German love of being the boss and the American desire to fuck things up be interfering when they can't have all things going their own way.
