This was an easier experience than I thought. The instructions were simple. The address was in Thai so I could show it to taxi driver. As an an added benefit I arrived earlier than anticipated and was put onto an earlier bus. This bus had a stop outside my hotel which the Bus staff told me about and informed me when I arrived at the stop. A real bonus. Highly recommend.
I got to my preferred destination, and that’s sort of it… Possibly due to roadworks the bus drove in walking pace for many kilometers, so arrived at my destination more than an hour later than scheduled… That’s really not that good. But other than that the ride was okay. Stopped for some food and stretching of legs just past Nakhon Ratchasima, which for me only felt like another minor road block, but if I had gone much further than Prathai, it definitely been necessary…
