Kamphaeng Phet
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.
Bangkok (Regular) leave at 7.30, 8.30, 9.30, 13.00, 14.30, 15.30, 16.30 and 18.30 and take six hours.
Bangkok (VIP) leave at 10.00, 12.00, 13.30 and 19.30, take five hours and cost 270B
Chiang Mai (VIP) leave at 11.30, 14.00, 15.00, 15.30, 19.30 and 20.30, and take six hours.
Tak (and then onwards to Chiang Mai) leave at 6.30, 8.00, 9.00, 10.00, 11.00 and 13.00, take one hour and cost 45B.
The only regularly-scheduled transport from Sukhothai to Kamphaeng Phet is in the back of a small songthaew truck. Apparently that's all the traffic demands. The fare is 60 baht per person, which seems a bit steep given the 80 km distance.

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). Shared songthaews are available for 20B for hops around town.
