Your Travel Guide to Thailand
All information & tips to prepare your trip in Thailand
There is no airport in Nakhon Sawan; the nearest one is in Phitsanulok (approximately a 1.5-hour drive). However, the city lies along the train route between Bangkok and Chiang Mai. Taking the train to Nakhon Sawan is the cheapest option, with journey times ranging from 4 to 5 hours depending on the type of train. Alternatively, air-conditioned buses depart from Mo Chit Bus Terminal in Bangkok, offering a travel time similar to that of the train.
Nakhon Sawan can thus be easily reached by train from all cities along the Northern railway line, such as Chiang Mai, Lampang, Ayutthaya, and Lopburi. By bus, there are additional departure points available.
IMPORTANT: from 19th January 2023, 52 trains leave or arrive in Bangkok at brand new Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal Station, the other ones will still depart and arrive in Hua Lamphong Station (until next step to move all trains to the new Bangkok railway station). For more information about the new Railway Station download this guide.
WARNING: many buses can only be booked 30 days before depature tops. They won't be displayed in the results on our transportation booking partner's website if not bookable yet.
For much of Nakhon Sawan’s connectivity, the train is the most practical option, whether you’re heading to Bangkok, Ayutthaya, Lopburi, Phitsanulok, or Chiang Mai. For Bangkok, there are several daily buses arriving at Mo Chit Bus Terminal. By bus, you have access to more destinations overall. If you’d like to explore the charming little town of Uthai Thani, regular local buses run there — as well as to Kamphaeng Phet and Chai Nat.
