Getting there and away

Bus

Buses between Phimai and Nakhon Ratchasima (Khorat) depart every 30 minutes between 05:00 and 19:00, take about 1.5 hours, and cost 50B. Not all buses are air-con, so ask before boarding. In Khorat, board at Bus Terminal 1 or 2; in Phimai, board at the central Bus Terminal, though in either direction, buses will stop to pick up travellers almost anywhere.

There is no direct route to Phimai outside of Khorat and all onward travel requires that you first get back to Khorat and proceed from there. Coming from Bangkok, for example, entails a three hours bus ride to Khorat, changing busses, and then the 1.5 hours to Phimai. Going onward to Khon Kaen requires the 1.5 hours back to Khorat, switching busses, and then an additional three hour ride.

Updates from Travelfish readers

  • Bus from Korat to Phimai on 19.11. did cost 36 baht and took 2h. The way back on 20.11. was same price and 1.5h.
    Both times it was an ordinary fan bus. I could not spot an air-con bus.

    There is a bus stop opposite of the clock tower in Phimai (blue bus stop sign). Most passengers will leave the bus here (coming from Korat) and it stops on the way back.
