VIP bus Hat Yai

Post by Alfasteve »

Who knows how to make an advance reservation for a VIP bus to Hat Yai? Can it be done online and how long in advance?

Not Sure If there is one, I did the reverse journey a couple of years ago and was told that none of the VIP buses leaving Hat Yai stop at Hua Hin. Ended up in a mini van, never again.
You may have to get two buses and change down south somewhere.
Of course might have changed since them.

Or get the train, or better still fly from HH. Lion Air fly from HH to HY and if you time your booking right they have flights as low as 500 Baht.

Yes, sounds cheap but when you add the taxes and fees I am sure it will more than double. Still a good deal over any bus or train though.

Nope, if you check now for example Monday 1/9/14 promo flight is 500 B and tax is 65 B, total 565 Baht.

WOW! How can you turn that fare down? Much cheaper than any bus and maybe even train plus much quicker and easier on the body. Thanks for the correction. I was wrong!
