One of the attractions of Phon Phisai is that it is not a common tourist destination, however this means that there are no facilities for tourists to travel to Phon Phisai, so that we must pick you up from the nearest airport (Udon Thani) or train station (Nong Khai).

Consequently, we need to work with our guests to determine the best schedule for your arrival and pick-up.

Most visitors will arrive by air from Bangkok to Udon Thani. While this is an international airport there are few international flights into the airport. However it is well serviced by several domestic airlines. We try to limit our pick-up and drop-off times to between 10.45 and 11.45 am on Saturdays and it will be preferable if you can organise your flights accordingly. However, we will pick-up all our guests regardless of their flight arrival time, although this may lead to some waiting between flights.

Trains in Thailand are very cheap and travelling overnight from Bangkok to Nong Khai is quite an adventure. The seats convert into reasonably comfortable sleepers (if you purchase a sleeper ticket). In the winter air conditioning is not essential. Of course plenty of food is available in the train or at the stations. The only time we can pick-up from Nong Khai train station is at 10 am on Saturdays. If the train is late we will wait for you.
