Yes bad shit can happen on any form of transport which I am sure Nigel is more than aware of.

Hope he has a safe trip but unless he travels on a custom tour bus used by Rock stars and the like its still going to be a long tedious journey,good luck with that Nigel

I've bussed all over Thailand. The Moo Chit Buses are OK. I usually only travel in day time, for a max of 8 hours. I tried a sleeper bus in Vietnam ... and that was the last one. I actually did sleep. No more sleeper buses for this Canuck. I'd take the plane, before a sleeper bus. The only hassle was the on board bus WC's, which were the usual Thai Village Brothel Level of Cleanliness. Admittedly I was travelling c/w my then Thai GF. She was a smart, efficient negotiator, so it all went pretty smoothly. I'm glad I did the heavy travelling for 3 years with her. Now I just go to Pattaya, Chiang Mai & Khon Kaen for Golf Holidays & to Koh Samet, if the weather is too wet for golf. I know my way around all those cities, so I don't have too many hassles.

Nige - if you do intend to slum it on a bus, get a downstairs seat as you'll have a lot less 'Fuck! This bus is going to fall over!" moments.

We have got on the non government bus form Bangsean too Bangkok twice it takes the old road the one below the toll road.
Anyone want to scare themselves give it a go it is very scary i don't want to die enters your thoughts for at least an hour.Never been so happy to get out a bus when we get to Bangna it feels like you just escaped certain death.
And yes we were stupid enough to take that bus twice but i would rather walk then risk it again.

You ask a simple question eh Nige...

The overnight sleeper train is the way forward imo, done it a couple of times back and forth to UT

simple answer is to fly straight on from Bangkok, but some want to save money

Get the connecting flight and you will save in the long term!

Each to their own.

^ Yeah but was it the V I P one ?? dont forget they have 5 classes of bus

You pays your money and takes your choice

I reckon that was the thrill a minute no aircon pee in a pot chicken on board 50bht bus

Why dont you put your hi-viz jacket and your steel toe capped flip flops on a piss off and take some pictures of your roadworks ?? have they got that new dropped kerb in yet ? how about the white lines ? are they dry yet ?

The thread title is an ask about V.I.P buses from BKK to Udon ,, I got the answer I wanted in the first page and clearly stated so , and yet all you do is sit on here from morning to night to troll away like the twat you are .

Calm Down Nigel!

You are the one who made the point that your taking the bus to save a bit of dough!

By the time you pay for your rest up in Bangkok and the Taxi fairs to from you are not going to be saving much.

No need to cop the hump just because I point that out

You should lighten up!

My wife took a VIP bus to Udon last night,all she has done is this morning is focking moan down the blower this morning about how shit it was.

She knows the score but likes to save also.

How much are you paying for your ticket Nige?

Oh your up are you Gravy ?

£15.60p each ,, thats the first class V I P jobby

Looks like you've missed the boat in Air Asia's sale, there prices are up to 3,000 baht return now.

That's a fair bit cheaper than National Express I should imagine.

Is there no car hire firm where you can rent a pick up in Bangkok and dump it in Udon Thani fully laden with cheap bangkok crap for the outlaws ?

that's what I'd be enquiring about, at least you get to stop off where and when you like then.

Those buses are for horseshoe-crab bearin' Pikeys

Your cab from the airport to Hotel, cost for one night stay and food/drink and then another cab to the bus garage!

You won,t save a great deal mate and lose a day on a boring bus ride.

It takes me a couple of days to get over the U.K to Thai flight,I would not want to be stuck on a bus for the equivalent amount of time the next day. Focking Torture!

You just can,t beat taking a connecting flight.
No pissing about with your luggage touching down in Udon in an hour job done!

All the best to you on your trip anyway.

Dill that would probably work out dearer than flying!

If Nigel wanted to piss about like that he would be better of getting the bil to pick him up straight from the Airport.

I have mentioned this early on in the thread.

There are no two ways about it the wise man flies!

I was only paying 25 quid a day to hire a Camry with full leather interior over there. It was a few years old but really smooth on the highway.There's a guy on here who hires out Fortuna's really cheap. He has a new camry too I think

If I fancied a little break in Bangkok, then had to get up to Udon Thani and fancied a bit of an adventure, I'd hire a motor and maybe stop somewhere halfway for the night.

Here's the guy Dave, he lives in Pattaya if you fancy thrapin the fuck out of a 3 litre fully specced Fortuna for 30 quid a day

If you fly in a take a short break in Bangkok for me the bus is just about bearable!

Nige says he is flying in resting up for the night only to catch the bus next morning.

Hiring a motor would only be a bit better than the bus if you had a driver.
Unless they are a big company with with drop points across Thailand, I think you would be expected to pay for someone to collect the motor from Udon.

As for me I have no urge to hire any car to travel around Thailand.

My advice, fuggit, take the flight, save yourself time and headaches.

Agreed!
