It has been four years, so my memory may fail me.

It departed around 2:30 pm and took a back-roads route. If I recall, it was on Hwy 348 from Hwy 24. It arrived some time after 8 PM. I was craning my neck trying to find some evidence of Khao I Dong Refugee Center (remember that?), but saw nothing.

I dimly recall that it may be the same company that goes to Chonburi, and departs from the same platform.

My advice to anyone planning a trip to Siem Reap from Korat is to visit BKS Mai (new bus terminal) and ask around for the company. It is at the far end from the platforms for BKK-bound buses

There is a bus that goes once a day to Aranyaprathet. It takes five hours ansds stops a lot.

the bus is in the northwest corner of the terminal, behind the main pathway. It is nearby the buses to Hua Hin.

We paid about 5000 Baht for about 4 cubic meters which is a lot of stuff BKK to C.M. (Nim See Seng) about 2 years ago. I was also quoted 5000 to have some stuff (about 1.5 cubic meters) sent BKK to C.M. just recently from another company that was being dispatched by a freight forwarder. So 18,000 sounds extraordinarily high to me. Did you have a Thai make the arrangements for you?

Also the guys in front of Wat Phra Singh won't take your stuff all the way to Isaan. They are for moves inside C.M.:rolleyes:


Yes, I had a student make the initial contact, I negotiated with the logistics man and students verified the agreement with the main office.

The price still seems fair to me because it includes everything: furniture, fridge, motorcycle, suitcases and about 50 or more boxes.

Also, I am going to Mahasarakham, where there is no return load. Your deal on the BKK route is because there will always be another load to haul, and they can put several customers on one truck. BKK-CM is a 9-hour drive; Mahasarakham is over 14 hours.

There is a stationary shop across from the Ratakosin flea market. It is called Likit Sin (I love saying that name!) and they have A4 paper boxes by the dozens n the back on the loading dock. I bought 20 for 5 baht each. Best thing is they are all the same size and thus stackable.
