finy Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Does anyone know if it's easy to catch buses to Bangkok? (I'm in Chiang Mai) I'll book a flight and travel down to Bangkok if the cabinet don't talk about amnesty tomorrow. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The train with a sleeper can be difficult to book at short notice. Flights are usually expensive when booked at the last moment. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, just wasn't sure because of coronavirus. In the past there were millions of options between CM and BKK daily. I don't even know if social distancing is still in play. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been on inter provincial buses in the last few days, and there is no social distancing being enforced. Masks are mandatory. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nout Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 An airport bus leaves regularly but most people take the Rapid Transit System/ MRT which has non stop over ground and under ground trains so why would anyone use a bus? The trains come and go every 10 minutes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish you told me years ago about the MRT link to Chiang Mai and would have saved me loads of trouble. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I'm in Chiang Mai) Are you asking about riding local buses once you've already arrived to BKK? Or, about buses that will take you from CM to BKK... Two entirely different things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masks are mandatory. There was even a DLT checkpoint near Ratchaburi, the other night. A peasant family scrambled to put on their masks. They boarded, and did a visual check..that was it. Totally different than typical police/border patrol checkpoints around Chiang Rai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last I heard some bus companies had banned foreigners as had some of the bigger temples in Bangkok. According to my Mrs the government have portayed foreigners as the devil when it comes to Covid and a good % the public are firmly 'anti farang'. So it may be an old line but to the best of my knowledge, its still current. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
