Transport to go to Phatthalung / leave Phatthalung
To go to Phatthalung ?
The quickest and easiest way to reach Phatthalung from Bangkok is to fly to Trang with Nok Air for instance, or Air Asia then take the bus to Phatthalung waiting at the airport car park. The bus schedules follow the flights arrivals. It is also possible to land at Nakhon Si Thammarat but it is a little less convenient to reach Phatthalung because you have to go to the minivans terminal by bus first. Phatthalung is also accessible by train (Bangkok - Phatthalung train timetable), however the trip is very long so I recommend you to take a night train and to be sure to have a berth, book in advance !. There are also buses that travel from the capital city.Otherwise, there are passenger minivans connecting Nakhon Si Thammarat to Phatthalung and passenger minivans or buses from or to Trang.
