Nakhonchaiair

About Nakhonchaiair

Nakhonchaiair sits at the premium end of the Thai coach market and is often used as the industry's reference point. The clearest difference is that it operates its own terminals in several provinces, separate from the state bus stations.

Main routes: Bangkok – Chiang Mai, Bangkok – Chiang Rai, Bangkok – Ubon Ratchathani and Bangkok – Khon Kaen.

Two main service levels:

  1. First Class – the company's top level, with fewer seats per coach than a standard Por 1 bus and correspondingly more space per seat
  2. Gold Class – the company's standard level, also with fewer seats per coach than a standard Por 1 bus

First Class and Gold Class are trade names, not Department of Land Transport standard classes. When you compare fares against other operators, compare seat counts and seat maps rather than class names.

Since departures use the company's own terminals, report to the counter inside the terminal to have the ticket issued before boarding, even if you booked and paid online.

Departure points are often the company's own terminals rather than a state bus station — check the terminal name on your ticket before you set off.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where do Nakhonchaiair buses depart from in Bangkok?
Routes sold on BusAndVan depart from Bangkok Bus Terminal Chatuchak (Mo Chit 2), with an additional stop at Rangsit opposite Future Park. The exact boarding point for your departure is shown before payment.
Are there cross-region routes that skip Bangkok?
Yes — Ubon Ratchathani – Chiang Mai, Ubon Ratchathani – Chiang Rai, Rayong – Chiang Mai, Rayong – Surin and Mae Sai – Rayong. These are Category 3 routes, so you avoid connecting through the capital.
Do the buses have an onboard toilet?
Standard 1 coaches (classes 1Kor, 1Phor and 1Khor) have an onboard toilet; Standard 2 coaches do not. Check the class shown for your departure — and every long-distance route makes rest stops along the way.
How do I book a ticket online?
Choose your origin, destination, travel date and number of passengers, then pick a departure and your seat. Enter each passenger name exactly as it appears on their ID or passport and pay with any supported method. Your E-Ticket is issued immediately after payment.
How far in advance can I book?
Most operators open sales 30-60 days ahead; the calendar only shows dates that are actually on sale. Seats sell out fast around Songkran and New Year, so book at least 3-4 weeks ahead for those periods.
What payment methods are accepted?
Thai QR / PromptPay, mobile banking, credit cards, debit cards, and counter payment at outlets such as Big C if you do not have a card.
Do I have to print the ticket?
No. After payment your E-Ticket appears on the website, in your email and in the app. Just show it on your phone at the boarding point.
How early should I arrive?
Arrive at least 30 minutes before departure so there is time for ticket checking and loading luggage. Roadside pick-up points have very short stops, so wait there in advance.
Can I change or refund a ticket?
You can manage your booking yourself from the Manage Booking menu. Conditions, deadlines and fees are set by each operator, not by the booking platform.
What should I bring on board?
A long-sleeved top or light blanket — the air conditioning runs cold — a phone charger or power bank, motion-sickness tablets on winding routes, and keep valuables with you rather than in the luggage hold.
