Title: NCA Pattaya to Buriram
Post by: richardm on January 11, 2015, 10:38:45 PM

Does anyone have any details about the Nakhon Chai Air bus from Pattaya to Buriram?
I have found details of Bangkok to Buriram but almost no details online showing from Pattaya.
Even the NCA website does not seem to show details from Pattaya.

I don't want to fly and I don't want to go via Bangkok.
Does anyone happen to have a timetable available which can be copied to here?
And the price if possible, please.

If offered a choice, the GOLD Class NCA bus is well worth any difference in price or your time schedule over Silver Class or Economy Class.

+1

Gold class is well worth it, I'm 193cm and I don't have any problems in NCA Gold Class (Once did the Surin - Chang Mai stretch and no problems)

@RichardM, you could ask a Thai speaker to call 1624 which is the general inquiry and booking number for NCA. Silver and Gold class also have departures from Pattay to Buriram Late Afternoon / Early evening.

Here is the timetable for Ubon to Rayong.

Add/Subtract about 4 hours for arrival/departure times in Buriram.

Column 2 is departure times. Column 3 is arrival times and column 4 is price.

The timetables are the same for both directions.
