Transport to go to Kanchanaburi / leave Kanchanaburi
To go to Kanchanaburi ?
In general, travelers go to Kanchanaburi by bus or minivan from Bangkok Southern Bus Terminal (Sai Tai Mai) or by van from the Minibus station opposite to Mo CHit Bus Terminal. The trip last around 2h30. You can book your minivan (ticket to Kanchanaburi online here). If you come from DOn Muang AIrport, I recommend you to go to Mo Chit. It is a lot more practical since bus A1 can drop you opposite to Minibus station. From Bangkok, it is also possible to go to Kanchanaburi by train but from Thonburi Railway station (not Hua Lamphong. The nearest MRT metro station is Bang Khun Non (see MRT Bangkok metro map). Note that you can not book your train tickets to Kanchanaburi in advance online but will have no difficulty to buy it at the train station just before taking the train.Taxis / Cars / Vans withe driver to go to Kanchanaburi
