Bus services from Phrae to Bangkok terminate at Morchit Bus Station. Morchit Bus Station is to the North of Bangkok city centre near the site of Chatuchak Weekend Market.

The easiest way to travel from Morchit Bus Station into central Bangkok is to take a taxi from the bus station to either Kamphaeng Phet MRT (metro) station or Mo Chit BTS (skytrain) station. The fare on the meter should be 50 THB to 60 THB in a taxi. From the MRT and BTS stations you reach most destinations in downtown Bangkok as well as connect to the Airport Link to Suvarnabhumi International Airport.

Travel to the Khao San Road

For travel from Morchit Bus Station to Don Muang Airport or the Khao San Road areas we advise you to take taxi all the way as neither the Khao San Road or Don Muang Airport are currently connected to the BTS or MRT systems.

Shuttle Buses depart from the ground floor of the airport terminal building from 07:30 to 24:00 every day. For travel within Bangkok alight from the shuttle bus at Mo Chit BTS station and continue your journey via the BTS elevated railway, known locally as the ‘Skytrain’. The fare is 30 THB whether you stop at Mo Chit BTS station or continue all the way to Morchit Bus Station.

Trains from Don Mueang Airport

Don Mueang Airport also has its own railway station although we do not recommended taking a train from there into Central Bangkok as trains tend to move very slowly within Bangkok and it is a relatively slow way to travel from Airport into the City Centre.
