Info on buses from Bangkok - terminals, costs, times and more
Bangkok bus timetable
Bangkok is serviced by several main long distance bus terminals. Mo Chit, in the North, is the largest and busiest since it services Northern and Northeastern Thailand. From here there are limited services to other parts of Thailand. To get to it you need to catch the skytrain to the end of the line at Mor Chit/Chatuchak market and then take a 10 minute taxi ride to the terminal. Buses leave frequently throughout the day, including to Ayuthaya and Kanchanaburi.
The newly renovated Southern bus station is across the river in Thon Buri, servicing destinations to the South and West, and is best reached by taxi. The Eastern bus station besides the Ekkamai skytrain station services Pattaya, Koh Samet, Koh Chang and Eastern destinations.
