Questions - Orange Bus to Phetchaburi

Post by Homer »

I know those things are S L O W. Still, one online source says 2 hrs from HH to Phetchaburi, while another says HH to Southern Bus Terminal in Bangkok is 3.5. First seems too long, second too short. Obviously traffic matters, but what is a low season, mid week, mid day estimate?

Also it seems it would be faster overall to catch a minivan north, then orange bus back to HH unless someone in Phetchabuti can direct me to known minivan stop.

your quistion seems a little east /west

I would say if you take a minivan max. 1.5hour local bus 2 hours

I don't know what 'a little east /west' means in this context. You've had slower minivan rides to points north than I. Longest it's taken me is about 1hr.

I don't think the Orange buses go all the way to HH Southern Bus terminal? 3.5 hours sounds like the standard blue governement bus to the terminal

I don't want or need to go to Bangkok by orange bus so it doesn't matter if it goes there.
