How long does it take to travel from Bangkok to Kanchanaburi by bus?

The bus or minivan trip from Bangkok to Kanchanaburi takes approximately 3 hours. This is one of the most popular and frequent ways to get to the city on the River Kwai.

Scheduled minivans depart from two main bus stations in Bangkok:

• From the northern station Mor Chit Terminal (Mo Chit).
• From the southern terminal Sai Tai Mai (Sai Tai Mai).

Flights are especially frequent from Sai Tai Mai — every 20-30 minutes from 6 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. The fare starts from 120 baht. It is not necessary to buy tickets in advance; you can arrive and take the nearest flight.

Also, from the tourist area Khao San Road, tourist minivans depart twice a day (at 09:30 and 12:30). Tickets for them are sold at local agencies and hotels.

All buses arrive at the Kanchanaburi bus station, which is a couple of kilometers from the main tourist street. From there, you can get to the hotel by motorbike taxi for 50 baht or by local songthaew for 10 baht.
