Get in Amphawa / Leave Amphawa
To go to Amphawa ?
To go to Amphawa, there are passengers vans leaving every hour from Sai Tai Mai Bangkok Southern Bus Terminal (lines 78 and 996, price 70 THB). There are also vans to Amphawa from Pinklao. They are more numerous on weekends. You can also take passenger vans to Samut Songkhram from Mo Chit Bangkok Northern Bus Terminal departing every hour. Then Mae Klong (or Samut Songkram), a neighboring town located 9km from Amphawa known for its market on the railway, blue songtaews number 333 leave from the 7 Eleven next to the railway market (GPS: 13.407850, 100.000562) or blue bus number 333 leaves from next to the Bus Terminal. They will take you to Amphawa for 10 baht. The journey takes about 20 minutes. From Damnoen Saduak, back on the main road 325, you can catch the blue songthaew number 467, it will drop you at the crossroads leading to Amphawa (15 minutes, 15 THB). You will then have a 1 kilometer walk to go to Amphawa floating Market (or can catch blue ongthaew or blue bus 333 if you don't want to walk).Buses and minivans to Amphawa

Leave Amphawa ?
To get back to bangkok from Amphawa, the most practical is option is to take minivan number 996. You have two providers almost side by side near the bridge a few meters from the entrance to Amphawa floating market parking lot. They will take you to Pinklao or Sai Tai Mai, Bangkok Southern Bus Terminal (70 THB, 2 hours) or to BTS Bang Wa station. If you can, arrange it with your hotel or homestay. If you do not want to sleep in Amphawa and return to Bangkok in the evening, the last minivans leave Amphawa at 8:20 pm. In this case, I advise you to buy your ticket as soon as you arrive in Amphawa to be sure to have a seat because on weekends, these vans are very popular of course. Alternatively, you can go to Bangkok by first going to Mae Klong with the blue songtaew or bus number 333 (the last one leaves at 5:30 pm), this may be the opportunity to see the railway market there, and from there take a van to Bangkok Southern Bus Terminal (Sai ??Tai Mai) or Pinklao at the city bus station or take a minivan to BTS Mo Chit station in Bangkok in front of Alongkorn Hotel 2 a little after the railway market.Buses and minivans from Amphawa
