Bangkok - Kanchanaburi en bus ou train?
Bonjour,
Il y a plusieurs posts sur cette questions et je veux savoir si c'est toujours d'actualité. On dit ceci quant au transport par bus et par train:
BKS public buses (line 81) leave from Bangkok's Southern Bus Terminal (Sai Tai Taling Chan). In Kanchanaburi, there are two separate but nearby bus terminals, with 1st class buses departing from an office off Thanon Saengchuto, and 2nd class buses from the larger terminal one block east. 1st class buses should leave Bangkok every 15 minutes from 05:00 to 22:30, take about 2 hours, and (as of February 2006) cost 99 baht, including a bottle of water. 2nd class buses (new route) leave Bangkok every 20 minutes from 03:30 to 19:00 and take about 2 hours. 2nd class buses (old route) leave Bangkok every 15-30 minutes from 04:00 until 18:00 and take about 3 hours.
Dans quel secteur c'est préférable de se loger pour accéder rapidement au Southern bus terminal? L'intérêt ici c'est qu'il y a des bus fréquemment.
Sinon il y a ceci qui a l'air bien mais qui offre moins de flexibilité:
There are also tourist minibuses directly to/from Khao San Road, departing Kanchanaburi at 13:30 and 18:30.
Ces heures sont-elles encore bonnes?
Il y a aussi l'option du train mais se rendre à la station Thonburi n'a pas l'air évident. Si c'était Hualamphong, ce serait si simple...
Trains leave Bangkok's Thonburi Train Station at 07:45 and arrive at Kanchanaburi at 10:20, also at 13:45 and arriving at 16:35. You may be interested in buying a ticket all the way to the River Kwai Bridge, since these two trains are the only ones which cross the bridge each day. Since December 2005, the fare is 100 baht for foreigners.. Be warned that reaching Thonburi Station from Khao San Road is harder than it looks; tuk-tuk drivers will try to charge you outrageous rates, and walking involves crossing two bridges and looping back a ways. The best way is probably to take the passenger boat from Banglamphu Pier and connect to a cross-river ferry that reaches the railway pier, then walk or take the open minibus from there.
La meilleure option me semble de se rendre à la Southern bus station si on veut partir le matin, selon les données fournies sur ce site: http://www.kanchanaburi-hotels.net/getting-there.htm Mais le défi est de se loger le plus près possible...
Qu'en pensez-vous? Merci.
