Getting there and away

Bus

The bus station is about 2km out of Kamphaeng Phet. To get there, catch a songtheaw from around the intersection of Kamphaeng Phet and Tesa Roads, which takes you over the Kamphaeng Phet Bridge and 500m further to the bus station.

Buses come and go all day long from the main bus station as Kamphaeng Phet lies on the major Bangkok to Chiang Mai route.

Getting Around

Around town there are samlors, songthaews and motorbike taxis who can help you get from A to B, but as the town is relatively compact and the best bet is to rent a bicycle (ask your hotel, or Three J guesthouse rents them).
