About Nakhon Si Racha

Bus is a convenient way of travel no matter whether you need to get to a neighboring town a couple of hours away or venture further afield crossing the whole country. Whatever your budget, buses have you covered. Express buses offer the most affordable ticket price for travellers who have very little money to spend. VIP options are geared toward those who do not want to compromise on comfort. Before you jump on a bus, make sure you choose the type of service which suits you best. For a long-haul trip look for a VIP or first-class coach which provides non-stop service to your destination or just call a minor number of stations along the way. Express or local buses in many cases may prove an acceptable choice for shorter trips, but longer rides are often not the best buy. Study the timetable before going as many long-haul destinations are served by night buses, and some offer wider seats or sleeper berths for such travels. Make an online reservation for your bus ticket with Nakhon Si Racha. Other travellers’ reviews will help you to choose the best ticket and coach class.

Nakhon Si Racha Ticket Prices & Bus Classes

One of the best things about bus travel is that you can almost tailor-make your trip adjusting it to your requirements for privacy and comfort. Different classes and types of buses cater to the different needs of travellers. The cheapest trips are normally offered by standard-class buses. They may be called local, express or ordinary. These are a good choice for shorter trips. Sleepers or VIP coaches are good both for longer and overnight trips. They may offer berths or wide soft reclining seats, sometimes with built-in massage options, blankets, soft drinks, and snacks, or more substantial meals on board or during toilet or refuelling stops. Travelling by night buses allows you to save on a hotel room, but to ensure the most comfortable ride do choose the class of your bus wisely. Prices always depend on the distance you ride and the type of coach. For some, even shorter trips, it is worth investing some extra money and buying a seat on a VIP bus as it can save you twice as much time as you spend travelling by an ordinary bus.

Travel by Bus: Pros & Cons

Pros of Bus Travel

  • Bus is the best choice to get to destinations that are not connected by rail or planes. The network of buses often covers almost the whole country, and their routes are well and long-established.
  • Opposite to air travel and sometimes rail travel, taking a bus does not require arriving at the bus station much in advance. Check-in, even on international routes, does not take much time. Luggage allowances are usually very traveller-friendly, and the fee for extra luggage, if limits are set, is normally not very high.
  • Bus tickets can be more affordable compared to air or fast train tickets. There is always a choice of ticket classes for all pockets. Cheaper standard options may be a bit slow and do not offer top comfort, but anyway acceptable and bring you to your destination. On longer routes, toilets or toilet stops as well as snacks, water, and sometimes toiletries and blankets are almost always included in the price.
  • If you are ready to spend more, some VIP coaches offer seating comparable to business class on a plane with wide soft reclining seats, blankets, fewer passengers, and many other perks to make your trip a pleasant journey.

Cons of Bus Travel

  • Newer intercity bus terminals are very often located out of the city close to bigger highways to allow buses to avoid city congestion. Unfortunately, it may create extra challenges for travellers, too. Getting to such a terminal may be a problem as in some destinations there are restrictions on vehicles allowed to enter the terminal, and you will have to use special carriers to get there. This results in higher costs as prices may be inflated. Also do calculate extra time if you are travelling during rush hours, especially if you are not familiar with the traffic situation at your starting point.
  • Buses are probably the means of transport which runs out of schedule more often than trains or planes. They are heavily dependent on the road situation which sometimes can be unpredictable – accidents, road construction works, detours, etc. This is especially true for travels during weekends, high season, or national holidays. Do keep this in mind and do not plan tight connections.
  • Travelling on certain routes or during the most popular periods may require advanced booking. Bear in mind that it is not always possible to show up at the bus station and hop on the next bus – tickets may well be all sold out, so organize your trip accordingly.

Thank You for so nice trip🙂
Bus Express, Nakhon Si Racha, Dec 15, 2023

The bus reeked of urine and excrement because of the toilets. Either you offer toilets that work or they're deficient and you have to prevent people from using them, it's not conceivable to do 10h of bus with the relans of piss and m"""" Also, the staff were as friendly as tires. We did, however, arrive on time

Was a bit tricky to find the booth to get the tickets. The booth was actually inside the main building, level 1. Converted our online booking to paper tickets. There are a few stalls and food options depending on what time. A bit tricky to find the right bus, we were on 56 which is around the back/side. Once on board, we were given some light snacks, water, blankets ane a pillow. They stopped quiet a few times along the way to pick up mail etc but didn't bother me. The chairs reclined and it was alot easier to sleep on than a plane. Was woken up at 1am ish for a 20 minute break where we could use the bahtroom and have a smoke. Overall good experience and would do it again for the amount you save vs flying.

It was a good trip with complimentary water and cookies . You also got a blanket and pillow for sleep. The bus was a bit to bunny for my taste so couldn't really sleep but otherwise good.

Wir wurden geweckt und irgendwo in Suratthani rausgelassen. Wir waren nicht am Busbahnhof. Wurden von einem Tuktuk Fahrer abgefangen der uns für 350 Baht zum Busbahnhof brachte. So war die Reise nicht gebucht. Schade, das war nicht in Ordnung. Ansonsten hat alles gut geklappt.

The bus arrived on time at the destination, but there we were torn from sleep and had to get off the bus within 3 min. The bus had its own smell and the toilet took some getting used to. I thought it was very cool that we got a small package with drinks and snacks, as well as a blanket and pillow.

I was so impressed with this trip. Not only was the bus very comfortable and quiet but we had so much leg room sat at the front, we were given water, juice, biscuits and we stopped off for a free meal along the way. We were also given a blanket and pillow when we got on which made sleeping so much easier. I would definitely recommend. The bus schedule did say we'd arrive at 7am but we arrived just before 6am which I can't complain about and we had read another review saying similar but just be aware when planning your trip that you may arrive early

Bus was comfortable but missed power to charge and WiFi. It was saying arrival at 7am we arrived at 5.30am. Not a problem just maybe give a better schedule for people to know

Buses are quite dated, dusty and dirty. Opened the curtains and was instantly sneezing from dust. Seats are not the most comfortable. We were woken up at 1am for food at a little market but would have preferred to sleep. But what was the real frustrating part was when our bus arrived to our destination 45-50 mins early, and the stewardess woke us up and started rushing us off the bus saying, "hurry hurry!!" without even an explanation that we had arrived, and in my rush and sleepy stupor I forgot some of my things on the bus. :( Then a tuk tuk driver (who we thought was a staff member from the bus at first) unloaded our bags from the bus and rushed them into his truck without even asking us if we wanted to pay an exorbitant amount of money to drive for 10 mins. We were so rushed, confused, and half asleep, that we got completely taken advantage of. If the bus was that early, there was absolutely no reason to be rushing us off like that, it was unacceptable in my opinion. We then had to wait even longer, outside surrounded by mosquitoes with nowhere open at 3:30am, for our connecting bus. Not impressed.

The bus was very comfortable. They gave us blankets and pillows, and even a snack bag with bottled water. We made one stop at a truck stop, where you could use the restroom and get a snack. The staff was super friendly. I would book again!

omptor not easy to find to take your ticket (go upstairs and ask for your way).Remember to take any drinks and snacks before getting off at the platform).Comfortable bus, the driver drives carefully, the staff is friendly but speaks very little English. Music and movies 100% Thai, prepare the earplugs if you want to sleep in the first hours)Welcome of the company almost inexistent at the arrival, a cab offers me the race to join the city center. Attention: he tried 1500 B for 5 kms!!!!I finally got it for 200 B without negotiating too much...
