BUS
Bangkok has three main bus terminals - two of which are an inconvenient distance from
the centre of the city - and a terminal at the public transport centre at Suvarnabhumi In-
ternational Airport with inter-provincial departures.
For long-distance journeys to popular tourist destinations it is advisable to buy tickets
directly from the bus companies at the bus stations, rather than through travel agents in
tourist centres such as Th Khao San.

point for buses to Pattaya, Rayong, Chanthaburi and other points east. Most people call it

minal lies a long way west of the centre of Bangkok. Commonly called
