Getting There and Away

Train

Phetburi train station is a bit out of town on Rotfai Road, going towards the Khao Luang Caves. All main trains to and from Bangkok stop at Phetburi.

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.

Other

Songtheaws leave from opposite the digital clocktower near the market area. Songtheaw run to Haad Chao Samran and Haad Puk Tian. At Haad Puk Tian you can change for Bang Ket a further 10 km on and Cha Am which is 20 km.

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.
