the casino bus to the cambodian border used to leave around 430 am daily before the insurrection. does anyone know if they have restarted the buses?

 

Also there was a small chinese restaurant on soi ngam duphli near the pinnacle hotel, and also a group of restaurant stalls on rama 4 across the big road from lumpini tower, does anyone know if they have reopened.

 

Is the area back to normal?

 

thank you

First this (yes, teacherly remark): mention BKK-Krung Thep-as otherwise many people wonder where this is all about.

Sorry-as presently not in BKk do not have definite answer. But: look in BKK-post, ads, they always advertise there. There are always the big buses from the tesco Lotus Carpark at Onnut BTS-one very early and one later in the day. It may very well be that this bus has more stops.

Or: check Thaivisa-they specialise in these kind of things and I do recall having read very same Q over there.

Or even better: do it all by yourself-its not that challenging, free choice of bus and pace and less cost. Best way is then the 8.15 (maybe 8.30) yellow bus right till border Aran from Swampy Bus terminal-with the unique chance to try out the new Airportlink from Phayathai BTS to reach it. Last bus from Aran about 18.00 (to the Mochit).

If you do not have any other pre-arranged Thai visa-you get stamped back in as visum-exempt for only 15 days (land crossing) and must have held a Khmer visum from just before. More info on: talesofasia.com
