Bangkok to Chachoengsao by Minivan: A Realistic Survival Guide from Ekkamai

Bangkok to Chachoengsao: The Real Minivan Journey

"From Ekkamai to Chachoengsao. Don't trust the platform numbers—trust your mouth."

01. Getting the Ticket at Ekkamai Terminal

I headed to the Ekkamai Bus Terminal (Eastern Bus Terminal) in Bangkok to catch a ride to Chachoengsao. The ticket cost around 120 THB. Pretty cheap for a 1.5-hour journey.

⚠️ THE TRAP: Don't trust the tags!

They give you this identification tag/ticket with a number on it. You might think it's the bus number or the platform number—it's not. Nothing matched. I had to walk around and ask the staff repeatedly just to find the right bus. If you're going, don't just wait at the number; keep asking people.

02. The "Wait and Go" Minibus System

The transport is a small minibus. Here’s the thing: departure times are more like suggestions. Even when the scheduled time passed, we didn't move. It seems they wait until they have enough passengers to justify the fuel. We finally departed after a while.

The ride was okay at first, but the roads got quite bumpy later on. It took about 1 hour and 30 minutes to reach Chachoengsao. Expect a bit of a shaky experience.

03. Arrival at Chachoengsao Terminal

Surprisingly, the Chachoengsao Bus Terminal was quite clean and well-maintained. It was better than I expected.

However, checking the return schedule to Bangkok was a bit disappointing. There weren't many buses, and the last bus times were quite inconvenient. I realized a day trip would be too rushed, so I decided to stay overnight in Chachoengsao.

As soon as I arrived, I called a Grab to head straight to the famous Pink Ganesha. Stay tuned for the next post!

Krivant Journey Score

Difficulty Medium (Confusing platform)
Transport Score ⭐ 6/10 (Bumpy & Long wait)
Terminal Cleanliness ⭐ 8/10 (Surprisingly good)
Price ~120 THB (Very affordable)
