1.of course- one can ALWAYS travel by public transp between any 2 pairs of larger towns- depends on which towns if that is easy, direct or not. Go to busstation and look lost-someone will find you.
2.think that tilapia is a bit too harsh- just the other day I still saw the blue big bus BKK-Prachin here. The main no-so route is Chantaburi-Khorat, does not serve Prachin, but runs via Sra Keao and there is also Chantaburi-Buriram. Also many buses Cholburi (some coming off Pattaya-Rayong) via Chachoengsao to Khorat-skirting Pak Chong/parks.

Thank you for your input, maybe hiring private transport is the best way to go, our other option I guess is to go the long way round from Aranyaprathet to Nakon Ratchasima and onto Pak Chong that way, but it is a lot longer basically most of the day on a bus and I was trying to avoid that.

Yes we will be coming from Aranyaprathet and I was trying to find a way from there to Pak Chong via Prachin Buri, thanks for your input I will check it out. We were going to catch the train to Prachinburi and then cross through Khao Yai National Park to Pak Chong. But it looks like it is not possible unless we take private transport and I have no idea how to do that or what the cost would be. I am unsure about how to take a mini van.

Someone at your hotel would know for sure. But the minivans don't have a "minivan terminal." They make lots of stops around town, mostly along the main strip. So you'll likely find them stopping at the Railway Station, near the old Bus Terminal, market, then across the river by the government admin offices and the Technical school.
