This next part of the topic is devoted to the Udon Thani urban mass transit system. This is mostly made up of truck bus services and a single full size bus route. These services are frequent throughout the day but stop running at 7pm. As to why they do is unknown but these services do start as early as 3am daily. If you need local transport after 7pm you have to take a motor trike taxi which have no fixed fares but start from 40 baht a trip.

33. This is a shot of a Route 9: Chiang Yuen – Sam Praw truck bus. Taken as it travelled along a main street of Udon Thani. Truck number 9 – 23. Truck type Nissan.



34. This is a shot of a Route 1371: Udon Thani – Nong Khai truck bus. Taken as it travelled along a main street of Udon Thani. Truck number 1371 – 45. Truck type Isuzu.



35. This is an image of a Route 2: New Udon Thani bus terminal – Big C bus. Taken as it was heading towards Big C. Bus number 2 – 5. Bus type Merc non aircon metro bus. Note this route is the only one in Udon that uses full size buses all others use truck buses.



37. This is a shot of another route 2 bus. Taken while passing through the innercity of Udon Thani. Bus number unknown. Bus type UD non aircon metro bus.



38. This is an image of another route 2 bus. Taken while passing though the innercity of Udon Thani. Bus number 2 – 23. Bus type UD/Hino non aircon metro bus.



This last part of the topic is devoted to the new Udon Thani bus terminal in the north western suburbs of Udon Thani. This bus terminal serves routes towards northern Thailand such as Chiang Rai and Chiang Mai. As well as Loei area. Compared to the main terminal the new one is very quite despite its larger size.

49. This is a shot of a Route 515: Udon Thani – So Phisai – Bueng Kan bus. Taken as it waits to depart from the new bus terminal. Bus number 515 – 3. Bus type Merc non aircon intercity.



50. This is an inside shot of the bus 515 – 3. Note the horrible 2 + 3 seating layout. Not so good if you are larger than a slim Thai guy.



53. This is an image of a Route 220: Udon Thani – Loei bus. Taken as it waits to depart from the new bus terminal. Bus number 220 – 4. Bus type Unknown 2nd class aircon intercity.



54. This is a shot of two VIP buses waiting to depart from the new bus terminal in Udon Thani. The bus on the left is a Route 636: Udon Thani – Chiang Mai bus. Sometimes VIP buses are not 1 + 2 layout but extra legroom 2 + 2 layout. So check before booking.


60. This is an image of a Route 636: Udon Thani – Chiang Mai bus. Taken while it was in the bus holding area undergoing repairs. Bus number 636 – 1. Bus type Scania Double deck aircon VIP intercity.
