"Where is the mini-bus to Ayutthaya?" was my fruitless mantra trying to get here a week ago. Friday I boarded the mini-bus in Ayutthaya for an R & R in Bangkok. As we approached the city I noticed that the route was different. I heard a woman behind me say "The bus stops at a bus station." Perhaps I should correct her I thought; "there's no station just a side street by the Democracy Monument", but I held my peace.
Eventually we pulled into a huge bus station with hundreds of buses...a place I'd never seen before and obviously the terminus of our trip. "Well this is interesting," I thought, 'I wonder where we are?" Glad I'd kept my mouth shut when the woman had mentioned a station, I grabbed my bag and headed for the gate, hailed a taxi and continued on my way.
The buses have been moved from Democracy Monument to this station at Mo Chit. That's why I never found one on my way to Ayutthaya. The Skytrain doesn't run to Mo Chit so now I taxi back and forth to the guesthouse. It actually shortens the time a bit because the station is near the expressway which means less congested traffic.
