About Phitsanulok Tour

Company Information

Based in Phitsanulok, one of Thailand’s oldest cities located around halfway between Bangkok and the Laos border, Phitsanulok Tour runs services connecting two historic city with the capital. In addition, Phitsanulok Tour also offer buses heading to Sukhothai and Phetchabun, both cities found near the mid-way point between Bangkok and Chiang Mai.

All the buses on these routes are single-deck vehicles and you will be welcomed with complimentary snacks and drinks when you board and throughout the journey.

Routes served by Phitsanulok Tour

Bangkok–Phitsanulok

As mentioned above, the main route this company runs connects Thailand's capital city, Bangkok, with historic Phitsanulok. There are 16 departures each day from Morchit bus terminal in northern Bangkok, between 07.00 and 23.00. This journey should take around six hours and with the high number of services throughout the day, there should be a departure time that fits your schedule nicely. Tickets for this trip should be priced around THB300 each way.

Bangkok–Sukhothai & Phetchabun

There are also five services every day from Bangkok heading to Sukhothai and Phetchabun. A ticket to Sukhothai costs approximately THB330 for the 7 ½ hour journey (with departures between 07.00 and 21.30) whilst you can travel to Phetchabun in around 8 ½ hours for THB370 (between 10.30 and 22.00).

Pros

Firstly, Phitsanulok Tour offers a very frequent and reliable timetable throughout the day. If you are thinking of heading out of Bangkok to explore Phitsanulok, then there really is no better company with which to travel. There are 16 departures every day, so you are spoilt for choice and can tailor your arrival time to your schedule.

Despite being one of the most popular transport providers on these routes, the fares on Phitsanulok Tour services are very competitively priced. There are not that many companies across Thailand that offer tickets for less than THB400 for a trip lasting almost nine hours.

Cons

The buses used by Phitsanulok Tour do not currently offer wifi, this can be annoying if you are reliant on it to entertain you during the journey. Also, the seats can sometimes not be up to the high standards of some of the other bus companies so may be a bit uncomfortable, especially if you're travelling for up to eight hours.

Keep in mind

Services depart Bangkok from the notoriously busy and confusing Morchit bus terminal and it is always worth arriving with plenty of time to spare when catching a bus here. It can often take quite a long time to locate the correct office or bus so get there early to avoid any stress! However, if you do miss your departure then you shouldn't have to wait too long for the next one, although you may have to purchase another ticket or pay an administration fee.

It's worth noting that there are two bus stations in Phitsanulok so if you've booked accommodation close to one of them, then it's worth checking which terminal you will arrive at when boarding and leaving the bus to save any confusion.

Travellers reviews

Travellers are usually pleased with the sheer number of services, especially on the Bangkok to Phitsanulok route, giving you a great deal of flexibility when booking your journey.

There are reports that sometimes the services can be delayed due to the drivers dropping locals off individually and making small detours from the route. Unfortunately, this is a fairly common occurrence and there isn't much that can be done about this. If you're due to meet someone at the bus terminal it's always worth having their contact details to hand, as well as a Thai SIM card, so you can let them know if you're running late.

I have booked on this site twice, I booked a train and the other a bus from Bangkok to Phitsanoluk. For all the times I booked the payment and receipt issuance was swift. Never had a problem boarding.

Everthing went very well, until we arrived. Our trip endet Sukhothai instead Sukhothai Historical Park and the guy I was asking was not very friendly and just gave us our bags.

The bus was spacious and comfortable with charging ports. We didn’t expect to have to change buses halfway through the journey but it was quick and easy, albeit stressful! We stopped for a rest break halfway through and were able to use the bathroom and get some food. Arrived to Sukhothai Historical Park on time! Overall a good journey!

The bus makes many stops, halfway we change to another bus. It is normal to be late! Quite uncomfortable although it is grateful that there are blankets (the air conditioning is at full capacity) and give you water and something to snack. If you want to take this bus with the idea of arriving at an hour forget it.

Unexpected partial refund and bus change in Phitsanulok. Resulted in a lost luggage. Nearly no help from 12go. Fortunately nice people at destination could help us and we got it back 24h later after the help of 4 individuals none related to 12go. Nice driver nice people bad info.

The bus left on time, but we were more than two hours late on arrival. We had to change buses en route. We were provided with a bottle of water and cupcakes, but there are no plugs or wi-fi on the bus.

I know it’s Thailand and it’s Thai speaking but since you sell tickets to tourists it would be nice to have a paper in English to read when the person in the bus talk in Thai. It was a little late but very nice bus and I’m happy of the service it’s just to help maybe others tourists.

Bus was ok, however we took longer and I had to change bus, which was not communicated in advance. The second bus arrived in Sukhothai old town, which was as planned.

You never know when you will arrive, and this since the application of the payment of the ticket At the beginning they tell you 2-8pm, you click on it and it goes to 10pm, then in reality you arrive at 11pm The bus stops in all the cities, at the end we were obliged to change bus To finish the bus is old and we can't connect the phones

Bus was OK, but the arrival in Sukhothai was messy and confusing. I bought my ticket for the "old Town" but the bus made me get off in the "new town" where tuk tuks wanted 300 bahts for a 5 min drive (closely the same price as a 6 hour bus to Chiang Mai). Definitely a scam with the help of the bus company.

The stewardess was absolutely awful to us, showing disdain and disrespect. We didn't dare move away from the bus during the break for fear she'd leave without us. Punctuality was excellent, with snacks and water provided. Quite comfortable seat (possible to lie down but not very wide).

Myself and a friend took the 21:30 ride on the bus and we arrived almost 2 hours earlier than expected time so we had to wait until 6 for our accommodation to open. The bus drove a bit too fast for us. Such a big vehicle can not drive so fast with passengers in it. The seats were comfortable.

I've had much better staff..... the very young hostess was not at all representative of the famous Thai smile, but rather of the "chief warrant officer" style ....... To be honest, I prefer buses that stop at Old City Sukhothai, as the staff are much more pleasant and the buses more comfortable.

We (2p) took the 21.30 bus and arrived earlier in Sukhoithai then they said. The bus station in Bangkok is huge! The bus provides blankets, cookies and water. There was airco and the lights went off, the seats could be adjusted so you can sleep. We took the tuk tuk from the bus terminal in sukhoithai to the historical park. This is about 12 km. We had to wait in old Sukhothai in the dark until 6am, so we walked around Wat Srasi and waited there. Then we hired bikes for 30 baht and explored the historical park during sunrise and for the rest of the morning. This was perfect!!!! In the early morning it is not super hot yet and it feels like you are in the historical park alone!!!

Long, stops very often, but the bus is comfortable and the air-conditioning is adjustable. The toilets, on the other hand, quickly become a stinking place. Is this the fault of the operator or the customers who don't know how to live?

Everything ok. We got water and food when we started the journey. At the end of the Journey the bus stopped a lot and we came about half an hour late. The air condition was very strong and we had to protect us against it. at the end of the journey we weared jerseys and a blanket over the knees.

The bus was quote old, but the seats were comfortable, the air condition wasn't too cold (there were blankets if you needed). We arrived about half an hour late, so not too bad;-) We made one quick stop after 4 hrs for toilet and a coffee.

Clean bus, departure on time, driving ok, water + snack, arrived 1h30 early at the Sulhothai bus station (don't go to the old city), plan ahead in Sukhothai as there's not much to do at 4am, clean hostel opposite the bus station. For info, in Morchit, the ticket office where you can collect your ticket by presenting the 12go mail is on the 1st floor (which is actually on the ground floor) outside on the sidewalk, at number 53/54. There are information desks to help you if you're lost.
