Getting There & Away
Sŏrng·tăa·ou
travel the 30km from Pak Chong down Th Thanarat to the park's
northern gate (40B, 45 minutes), every half-hour from 6am to 5pm. It's another
14km to the visitors centre, and park guards are used to talking drivers into hauling
people up there.
All 2nd-class buses between Bangkok (108B to 139B, 2½ hours) and Khorat (60B
to 74B, one hour) stop in Pak Chong. The bus station for most Bangkok buses is
west of the traffic light at Th Thesabarn 8.
There are now also vans to Bangkok's Victory Monument (160B, 2½ hours, hourly)
from the traffic light and to Khorat (60B, one hour, every 20 minutes) from

You can also get to Pak Chong by train from Bangkok and Khorat, but it's much
faster to go by bus or van. Ayuthaya, on the other hand, has no direct bus service
so the train (3rd-class 53B, 2nd-class fan/air-con 83/173B, two to three hours, 13
daily) can be a good option.
