VIP Bus from Bangkok to Ubon Ratchathani

Ride the VIP bus from Bangkok to Ubon Ratchathani with a real experience by mr.hotsia

When talking about traveling from Bangkok to Ubon Ratchathani, many people think of the various bus services available, such as Sombat Tour or Nakhonchai Air. But for mr.hotsia, choosing to ridethe 24-seat VIP bus of the Transport Company Limited (BKS)became a new experience that I want to recommend everyone to try.

My starting point this time was at Mo Chit 2 Bus Terminal, which is the main boarding point of BKS. It is convenient with many food and coffee shops for travelers. If you live near Rangsit or Wang Noi, you can board the bus there without having to drive into downtown Bangkok and deal with the traffic.

This 24-seat VIP bus of BKS departed in the evening. I chose a window seat that is much wider than regular buses. The seat is soft and reclines enough to help me sleep better than on other buses. Although it doesn't recline fully flat to 180 degrees, for me it was enough to sleep comfortably all night.

Along the way, the male staff attending the bus was very helpful, politely lifting my luggage without disturbing my privacy. Sometimes I didn't expect such attentive service on a bus, and I think this is what makes BKS's service more appealing.

Another impressive feature was the onboard movies and entertainment programs, making the nearly 10-hour journey not boring at all. There were also small snacks served during the trip.

The bus stopped at Si Khio around midnight. The atmosphere was quite peaceful and clean, with hot food like rice porridge available. If you don't want to eat, you can exchange about 30 baht for snacks instead. I chose to eat hot rice porridge, which felt great as it recharged me for the morning ahead.

When the bus arrived in Ubon Ratchathani in the morning, I felt refreshed and ready for the day's trip. The comfort and professionalism of this VIP bus service made long-distance travel no longer intimidating.

Ubon Ratchathani City and Travel Connections to Isan

Ubon Ratchathani is a city with its own unique charm. I have written in several mr.hotsia articles that this place is not just a transit city but has diverse cultures, fresh markets with delicious local food, and beautiful natural attractions like Pha Taem National Park. Even visiting Wat Nong Bua for merit-making was an unforgettable experience for me.

For travelers interested in nearby areas, Ubon Ratchathani is also a travel hub connecting to other provinces in Isan, including Nakhon Phanom which hasthe Third Thai-Lao Mekong River Bridge at Nakhon Phanom - Tha Khaekwhich is about to open and will become an important route for travel between Thailand and Laos in the future.

Recommended Routes and Preparation for Those Taking the VIP Bus from Bangkok to Ubon Ratchathani

For anyone interested in using the 24-seat VIP bus service of BKS like me, I recommend booking tickets in advance because seats are limited and quite popular, especially during festivals or long holidays.

I personally booked through BKS's online channel, which is convenient and fast, avoiding queues at the bus terminal. It is very convenient for those who plan their trips ahead.

On the travel day, you should arrive at the bus terminal at least 30 minutes early to prepare and store your luggage. Mo Chit 2 terminal offers free parking and food outlets to welcome travelers.

Personal Experience and Small Tips from mr.hotsia

Along the way, I observed the changing scenery from the busy and crowded Bangkok city to the main roads stretching through various provinces in Central and Isan regions, becoming simpler and calmer.

Another tip is to remember to bring drinking water and small snacks because some stretches have long rides without frequent stops. Also, don't forget to bring a light jacket or blanket because the air conditioning on the bus is very cool and some may feel cold.

For photography lovers, the morning views passing through Isan's landscapes offer many beautiful spots to capture, including rice fields and distant mountains, making the journey enjoyable.

Summary of Impressions and the Perfect Travel Choice

For me, mr.hotsia, choosing the 24-seat VIP bus of BKS from Bangkok to Ubon Ratchathani is a great option in terms of comfort, safety, and friendly service, whether from the driver or onboard staff.

If you are looking for a relaxed way to travel to Ubon Ratchathani without rushing, no need to change buses multiple times, and want to rest well on the bus, I recommend trying this service once. I believe it will become a favorite choice for travelers who appreciate comfort and simplicity at the same time.

And if you have enough time, don't forget to explore Bangkok before departure, such as taking a stroll atAsiatiquethe giant Ferris wheel by the Chao Phraya River, or if you like flying, check out the review ofNok Airthat mr.hotsia has written as an option for other trips.

Open your mind and try changing your travel method, and you will realize that even long journeys can be a source of happiness and good memories.
