Northern bus station mo chit. Northern Bus Station (Mo Chit) in Bangkok

So, from Chiang Mai I had to get to the airport in Bangkok. I traveled around Thailand exclusively by buses and this time I did not make any exceptions. Overnight in a comfortable double-decker bus with feeding and films with English subtitles.

And here I am. Mo Chit Bus Terminal. This station is huge. Serves the entire north and northeast of Tai (Chiengmai, Chiengrai, Ayutthaya, Sukhothai, Korat, Lopburi, etc.). So there are a lot of buses. Further, according to the plan, get to the subway station Mo Chit, and then to end point- BKK Suvarnabumi Airport. As I said, from the bus terminal to the airport, I planned to take the underground metro (I had never traveled on it before).

As soon as I jumped off the footboard of the bus, taxi drivers began to besiege me, offering to take me to the ends of the world. I say I need to get to the subway. Okay, sit down, we'll take you for 60 baht.
No, I'm on foot, how do I get there?
– You won't get there – the taxi drivers shook their heads sympathetically, looking askance at the baobab in the bag and the backpack behind my shoulders, which was slightly smaller than myself ...

The same backpack.

That baobab!

I saw the information desk. I go to ask how I can get to the station.
- Take a taxi or tuk-tuk, it costs 40 baht. You won't make it to the subway on your own, - and these were confused by the contrast between my size and my backpack. - It's 2 km from here!

Gee, 2 km and I won’t get there ?! Yes, my beloved Thais, you are not familiar with Russian girls who wear such backpacks and baobab trees. Somehow I knocked out the direction from the taxi drivers to the BTS Mo Chit station. I interviewed about 10 people, probably (the partisans are still the same).

So, I am sharing information on how to go as far as 2 km in 15 minutes. ROUTE MAP BELOW.

At the Mo Chit bus terminal, get off at the taxi and tuk-tuk stop. And to the left. Go along the road straight to the first intersection. You can wave to sympathetic tuk-tuk drivers. Turn right at the crossroads. In the distance you will see the building of the JJ MOLL shopping center. The building can be seen from afar, go straight for it.

Reach the first overhead crossing, cross it to the other side of the highway. Go straight to the first fork in the road and turn left.

From here to the left.

Keep to the right side of the road. Your path lies straight along picturesque rows with live aquarium fish that swim in bags. The spectacle is amazing: various types of fish, there are thousands of them!!! This street is adjacent to Bangkok's largest Chatuchak market.

Go straight until the first turn to the right. Then straight ahead until the first turn to the left. And in front of you is the skytrain station Mo Chit.

Everything is simple. And do not listen to any exhortations of taxi drivers that it is far and you will not reach. I've arrived. I'll tell you a secret, I just have the most acute form of topographic cretinism, I climbed Chiang Mai with a navigator. But language, as they say, is not only an enemy, but also your best friend. =)

Well, then -Just. Hand Mo Chit station you take the subway (BTS). Transfer to another branch at Phaya Thai station. From there, the metro goes to the airport (this is the red line on the map). All.

Good luck with your transitions and trips!

There are three bus terminals in Bangkok: Northern(Mo Chit) Southern(Sai Tai) and Oriental(Ekkamai).

Bangkok North Bus Station Mo Chit

North Bus Station Mo Chit

This bus station is called differently: North bus terminal, Mochit, Mo Chit 2, Chatuchak bus terminal(this name is indicated on the building of the bus station).
Located in the northern part of Bangkok (near the famous Chatuchak market) and serves mainly northern destinations: Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai, Ayutthaya, Sukhothai and others. We traveled from here (Laos) for a Thai visa.

From this bus terminal you can also leave for many popular tourist places in the south and southeast of Thailand. For example, there are buses, Krabi, Koh Samui (with a transfer to the ferry), Trat and, but there are not as many flights as from other terminals specializing in these routes.

The station building has left-luggage offices, a food court, cafes, and a 7/Eleven shop.

On the underground metro (MRT) you need to go to the Chatuchak Park or Kamphaeng Phet station, and on the elevated (BTS) - to the Mo Chit station. Then - walk for 15-20 minutes, on one of the city buses or by taxi (according to the meter - 50 baht, you need to catch a taxi on the road, and not approach the taxi drivers who stand on the side of the road - they refuse to go for less than 150 baht).

Bangkok East Bus Terminal Ekkamai

Ekkamai East Bus Station

This bus station is the smallest in Bangkok, but it is located much more conveniently than Mo Chit, and even more so - Sai Tai.
Ekkamai East Bus Terminal is located next to the same name (BTS), so you can get here very easily and quickly.

Ekkamai serves eastern destinations. From here they leave (from early morning to late evening, with an interval of 30-40 minutes), to Koh Chang, Samet, to Rayong, Trat etc.

Buses from Khaosan Road area

Bus company Lomprayah

On Khaosan Road and neighboring streets there are many mini-stations from which you can leave on any tourist destination. The organization of bus traffic is rather chaotic, since many private companies carry out transportation.

Lomprayah. It is engaged in the transportation of passengers on high-speed catamarans to Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Koh Tao. From Bangkok to Chumpon Pier, passengers are transported by buses that leave from a parking lot located near the company's office on Khaosan Road.

Jolly Travel. VIP buses to Phuket and other popular destinations.

Mama Travel & Tour. Minibuses to Pattaya and other tourist routes.

note to the fact that buses can vary greatly in terms of comfort level and route of movement (some call in many places along the way, collecting passengers).

Bangkok Northern Bus Station: location and description

The Northern Bus Terminal, also known as the Mo Chit bus station (Mo Chit) and Chatuchak Bus Terminal (Chatuchak bus terminal) is located in the northern part of the capital on Kanpaengphetch 2 Rd, not far from the famous Chatuchak market and Chatuchak Park (which, apparently, he acquired its name). The building of the Chatuchak bus terminal (namely the inscription Chatuchak Bus Terminal) flaunts on the facade of this Bangkok bus station, has three floors, large waiting rooms, shops and food outlets located both inside and nearby on the street.

If you have free time, you can refresh yourself before a long journey by visiting one of the three food courts located on the territory of the bus station (you can find it by following the signs "Food Center") or several fast food establishments (Dunkin Donats, KFC), as well as the ubiquitous shops of the SevenEleven network. In the latter, you can buy not only groceries and small things necessary on vacation and on the way, but also alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks in Thailand, including local fortified energy drinks that help to cope with fatigue from a long journey.

Bangkok North Bus Terminal - signs to the food court and toilet

Of course, there is also a toilet at the North Bus Terminal. The cost of visiting is 3 baht. At the same time, it will not be superfluous to know that toilet paper usually not in the booths, but you can buy it separately at the entrance (inexpensive). Also on the territory of the bus station Morchit (or Chatuchak) there are several luggage storage facilities. The cost of storing one luggage space- 50 baht. I do not recommend leaving valuables for storage: often your luggage does not fit in separate cells, but is simply stored on shelves or even on the floor. Perhaps somewhere at the bus station you will find automatic lockers, but I personally have not seen it. There are also plenty of free seats in the waiting room.

When you are going to use the Bangkok North Bus Terminal, you should remember that this is the largest bus terminal in the country. Almost every minute another train starts from this bus station. bus route. Therefore, I advise you to arrive at the bus station in advance to buy a ticket in the right direction and without haste to find the bus platform you need. So that you can more clearly imagine the scale of this bus station, you should know that more than a hundred bus platforms are used for boarding and disembarking passengers, which are located on big playground in several rows.

Bangkok North Bus Terminal - Waiting Room (There are always free seats)

In general, there are usually no queues at ticket offices or they are very small, so you will almost never stand in line for a long time. This is due to the fact that there are a lot of ticket offices at the North Bus Terminal of Bangkok (Morchit). each of which serves only one or two directions. Also at the bus station there are many branded cash desks that sell tickets for buses only to a certain bus company. You can find ticket offices both inside the bus station and outside. closer to the bus platforms. It is also possible to purchase bus tickets at a point located across the road from the bus station building. But I think it's better to use regular cash desks inside the bus terminal or buy bus tickets via the Internet (more on this a little later in the text).

Bangkok North Bus Terminal: directions

The northern bus station serves, first of all, bus routes from the capital to the north of the country and a large northeast region Thailand - Isan. However, routes in the eastern and southbound are also present, therefore, Phuket, Krabi, Trat and other resorts can be from here, although the number of flights compared to other bus stations that serve the southern and eastern provinces Thailand, will be somewhat smaller. With regard to such popular resort like Pattaya, then from morning to late evening buses leave every 40 minutes.

For the convenience of passengers, the ticket offices of the bus station are located separately: for example, the ticket offices on the third floor serve passengers who need to get to the cities of Isan province. That is why most Thai girls of characteristic appearance can be found there. On the first floor of the Northern Bus Station, you can buy tickets for buses going to the North of the country, for example, to Chiang Mai, Ayutthaya, Sukhothai, Chiang Rai, Lamphun, etc. Also on the ground floor you can buy tickets for destinations that are mainly served by eastern bus station Bangkok - Ekkamai. First of all, it is Pattaya, Trat, Chanthaburi, Chonburi, Rayong.

Bangkok North Bus Terminal Ticket Office - Signs in Thai and English

To purchase a bus ticket, you should contact the appropriate box office, on which your direction is written (there is an inscription in Thai at the top, and more than small print- in English). If you choose a bus route, it is better to buy tickets for buses of the 1st class (blue color or with a blue stripe on board), because. 2nd class buses (red) can be without air conditioning and make many more stops along the way.

If any difficulties arose during the acquisition process, you can contact the help window located on the ground floor, or use the help of bus station employees (they are easily identified by their uniform - white shirts with gilded buttons). Buses are boarded at the appropriate platforms.

Bangkok Northern Bus Station: location + how to get there

Since the bus station is not located directly next to the metro stations (see the picture below), you must either walk about 1200 meters or use a motorcycle taxi or a taxi in Bangkok. The first option is convenient when you are walking light and have enough free time - at the same time you can walk through the beautiful and well-maintained Chatuchak Park, through which the most short cut from Mo Chit Station of Bangkok BTS Skytrain and Chatuchak Park Station. After you cross the park, you need to go under a high highway, behind which, at ground level, is the street on which the Bangkok Northern Bus Station was built.

Bangkok Northern Bus Station - location on the map and nearest metro stations

If time is running out, a heavy backpack weighs on your back, you are traveling with a large suitcase or small children, it is better to use a taxi or motorcycle taxi. The first option will cost about 45-50 baht (according to the meter), and the second - 30 baht (by agreement with a motorcycle taxi driver, they can initially declare a higher price, but there is no point in haggling below 30 baht). Another inexpensive way get to Bangkok North Bus Station - scheduled bus No. 77, which you can take at the bus stop at the Victory Monument (Victory Monument), which is easy to get to again at. The cost of the bus is 13 baht, but taking into account traffic jams, it is better to have a spare time.

Bangkok North Bus Terminal Schedule

Below is the Bangkok Northern Bus Station timetable as of 2015. I would like to draw your attention to the fact that, like any schedule, some changes are possible: in the departure time and in the bus fare on certain routes. Therefore, it is better to arrive at the bus station in advance and buy a ticket a couple of hours before the flight departure (unless, of course, this is a bus to Pattaya, which runs very often).

From my experience, I recommend not to use the Bangkok North Bus Terminal for travel to southern resorts countries in case you want to buy a bus ticket on the day of travel , and in Thailand at this time high tourist season. I myself encountered the fact that on the day of the trip there were no places on the evening buses either to Krabi, or to the island of Koh Samui, or to Phuket. There was not only VIP seats, which are convenient to use for long trips, but also in general free seats in buses in the indicated directions. And as a result, I just lost time and I had to take a taxi for 300 baht to Bangkok South Bus Station, where large quantity buses to the southern resorts.

Of course, this is not at all convenient - to visit the bus station for pre-purchase tickets. Therefore, it is often much more convenient to buy bus tickets online - using the popular , especially since the service is multilingual and there is a version in Russian (direct link to the Russian version).

In the search results, you will see the current timetable and fare from Bangkok to the city or resort you are interested in. I hope the information about the Bangkok North Bus Terminal was useful for you and you can easily use this bus terminal to travel around Thailand. Bon Voyage!
