Aranyaprathet

According to my experience.
Usually, the road in front of station is crowded.
What about this city?

The station square is quiet.
Because there aren't many trains on this line.


  Watch Tower

Minivan Station in South Pattaya

 City : Pattaya, Chon Buri Thailand

Minivans are often used as transportation for Thai local peoples.
The fare is reasonable and many vans are available on each route.
If these can be used, moving conveniently to Thai local area is possible.
However, most of the explanatory notation is Thai word.
This is a difficult for foreign tourists.

Therefore I post information collected in local.
