Bus

Buses from Bangkok for Phetburi leave from Sai Tai Mai (Southern bus station). In Phetburi, the local bus station is located behind the far side of Khao Wang and is a short samlor ride or 15 minute walk from town. Local buses to Ratchaburi (1 hour), Cha Am (30 min), Bangkok, Hua Hin, Pratchuap Khiri Khan and Bang Saphan all leave from here.

When arriving in Phetburi the bus may drop you off at the corner of Bandai It Road and Ratchadamnoen Road without taking you closer to town. If the bus turns right onto Bandai It, get off! The aircon bus station is near the post office on Rotfai Road. An aircon bus to Bangkok takes between 4 and 5 hours depending on traffic.

Getting Around

Samlor rides are the easiest way to get around town, though most spots are within walking distance. A samlor to Khao Wang, Khao Luang Caves and your pick of wats will cost 100B to 200B depending on your bargaining skill. This is a great way to see the sights and some of the samlor drivers speak some English, so you get a commentary gratis.
