Bus Transportaion BKK to Udon Thani

Morchit 2 (song) can be a little overwhelming. The terminal is a maze of little ticket counters. The Issan bus counters are on the third floor . The taxi will normally drop you at the front door so no problem. If you are dropped off on the street walk to the front and take the escalator upstairs. There are touts at the front door and they can point in the general direction of thew counter you need.

After you purchase your ticket the salesperson will tell you what bus bay your bus is at. The ticket will also have the bus bay number on it.

Why dont you fly with Thai airlines, I always use them also bring two bags never get charged no issues. I think people are under the impression that they are expensive, I have never paid over two thousand baht for the flight.

By the way the Thai airport authority allows all travellers two and from Thailand that baggage allowance its not because you are a frequent flyier.

The standard weight is 50lbs, with elite or above you get 70lbs... I did as several suggested and flew with Thai Air. I spoke to them prior to my purchasing a ticket. they honor the other airlines rules, if you connect within 24 hrs.

However for the US/Canada only, the limit is 2 bags, each with a maximum weight of 23kg.

I have little sympathy for people stung by Air Asia baggage costs - their online booking system is pretty clear in offering savings for those who choose the baggage option at the same time as they buy the ticket.

I understand that they charge extra for baggage, I just said I was tired of paying it! That is why I was exploring the bus angle as there is no charges for baggage... I do agee they make it clear on their web site and I always bought the max addtional weight you could but my wife loads the bags up... I flew Thai Air and was not charged any addtional fees.

Ht,
Used a eouple of buses to BKK from Udon. The best, and cheapest was Udon Air, 405B single journey. The others, operating the same type of service, T.V., massage seats, reclining, A/Con. blankets and a meal, with a free bottle of water and a bottle of orange juice. with the same in bus features charged 30% more, and had a stop at K.K. bus station, at 0300Hrs, stop was about 15 mins, for the one i was on, and the cost was over 600B.
Us O.A.P.'s have to watch our pennies. And i myself will not take a car into BKK. Just me getting old i think. Mind you i don't think i'd take a car into London or Manchester now.
Going of the subject a bit. Does anyone know anything about the direct bus to Pattaya. I believe it leaves Udon about 0730Hrs, and goes over the mountain, HW 604 i blieve, and misses out BKK, the last time i was talking to someone about it, i think the cost was about 800B a single trip. Would like to know who runs it and where you can buy the tickets for it.
Cheers Doug.
