Best way to bus to Phitsanulok?

[Mitch Iwichiwa]

Hello-

I need to make a trip from Buriram to Phitsalulok and back by bus, sleeping one night in Phitsanulok.  Does anyone know a particularly good way to get there by bus?  Or any particularly bad method/route that should be avoided?  Thanks for any info.

NCA. Buriram to Phitsanulok.

NCA buses ruin Ubon to Chiang Mai threw Si Saket Surin on upto Chiang Mai. NCA makes a meal break at Phitsanlok.

Very interesting.  Do you mean I would need to go to Surin to get on the bus, that it doesn't stop in Buriram?  Would they sell me a ticket to Phitsanulok or only to Chiang Mai, and if they won't sell me a ticket to Phitsanulok, I wonder if they would let me on the bus at all on the way back.  Hmm.

You can get on the bus at Buriram and get off at Phitsanulok..
You only need to buy the ticket to Phitsanulok.
You can buy your return ticket in Buriram or in Phitsanulok.

Thanks Gotlost and Simon!  I'll try to get that kind of ticket with NCA.  It would be a relief not to have to get on some random bus.
