Getting There & Away

Kamphaeng Phet's bus station ( 0 5579 9844; Rte 101) is about 1km west of Mae Nam Ping.
Motorcycles (50B) and sŏrng·tăa·ou (20B, frequent from 7.30am to 5pm) run between the
station and town. If coming from Sukhothai or Phitsanulok, get off in the old city or at the
roundabout on Th Thesa 1 to save yourself the trouble of having to get a sŏrng·tăa·ou
back into town.
Alternatively, if you're bound for Bangkok you can circumvent the bus station altogeth-
er by buying tickets (295B for the five-hour trip) and boarding a bus at Win Tour ( 0 5571
3971; Th Kamphaeng Phet) , near the roundabout. Services run frequently from 9am to 11pm.
