From
Bangkok...
Bus
From the Southern Bus Terminal ("Sai Dai"),
buses leave every 30min for Kanchanaburi, the last one departing
at 10.30pm. The journey takes a little under two hours.
Tickets
for a standard air-con bus are 95 Th.Baht one way. This is
by far the easiest way to get from Bangkok to Kanchanaburi!
Train
As the railway link between Bangkok and Kanchanaburi
is only a local line, this is a journey to be undertaken only
by the VERY brave! From Thonburi station in Bangkok, only
3rd class trains run along this route and the journey takes
a staggering FIVE HOURS!
Definition
of 3rd class? - No windows, no fan, wooden seats, lots of
chickens!
Taxi
The fastest, but most expensive way to get to Kanchanaburi!
From any where in Bangkok, taxi drivers will be able to get
you here in about 90 mins for anywhere between 1,000-3,000
Th.Baht, all depending on your bargaining skills!
If
you can find a Thai speaker to do the bargaining for you,
it would be a lot better!
