In Topic: Train To Kanchanaburi Still Running Or Is Bus Best

2011-11-10 09:50:02

Thanks for the news about Kanchanaburi.

We are in Sihanoukville at the moment and flying into Bangkok on Nov  18th for a couple of nights befor  - hopefully - catching the train to  Kanchanaburi. The bus is second choice but none the less a decent option.

We have taken the bus once and train once to get to Kanchanaburi and preferr the train.

There were mini vans that ran from Kanchanaburi to Mo Chit  (there was a place running nice looking mini vans just next to River Kwai Hotel last year) but i think we caught a bus from the Southern Bus  terminal a few years earlier - I've read that the Southern Terminal has  ben moved due to flooding.

Where do the mini vans leave from?

I'll keep checking on the train service over the next week and play it by ear I guess.

Thanks again for the information.

Thanks  pnustedt.

I'm and glad your family made it safely Jerrytheyoung - hope the rest of the journey to Nakhon Phanom goes well.

I'm looking forward to spending some time in quieter rural places along the Mekong and it sounds like flooding and rains will have moved on by late November - great news.

Thanks again

Thank you pnustedt, sounds reassuring.

Have there been problems with flooding (more than the usual for the region) over the past few months?

It's quite hard to get accurate information through the media and usual channels to plan a trip, particularly under the current  circumstances with flooding across the country.

Thanks again for the reply

Thanks Squigy and Celticbhoy - very helpful

Looking forward to my time in Mukdahanand points inbetween Nakhon Thanon and Ubon Ratchathani - even the bus rides.

I might give Submukda Grand Hotel a go then - as long as the AC works and their is WiFi is adequate. I have also read that there is only 1 powerpoint in the rooms - double adaptor needed.

Thanks Squigy

I was planing on a couple of nights so might try somewhere else.

Where would you stay if you went back to Mukdahan?

What is the bus station like?
I was hoping to get a local bus to That Thanom - early'ish but not quite as early as your 0500 hrs start to the day - perhaps more like 0730 ish.

Can you recall how frequent the bus services are?

Thanks again for the reply - very helpful
