Booking from abroad, and visa runs
Can I use this bus for a visa run?
Yes — this is a scheduled public service and there is no restriction on why you travel. The bus takes you to the town; the border crossing itself is on foot or by local transport from the terminal, and immigration hours are set by the crossing, not by the bus. Book the return separately once you know how long the queue took.
Does the fare change if I book in English?
No. The fare on this page is the operator's own seat price and it is identical in every language Busaba serves — the same ฿1,579–฿2,106 you would be quoted at the counter in Thai. Language changes the words, never the number.
Can I pay with a foreign card?
Yes. Payment is taken by card in Thai baht, so a foreign card is charged the fare plus whatever your own bank adds for a THB transaction. No Thai bank account and no Thai phone number is required to hold a seat or to pay.
What name appears on the ticket?
The name you enter, in the script you enter it in — Latin letters are accepted and are what most operators on this route print. Bring the passport whose name you booked under; on cross-border and long-distance services the operator may check it against the ticket at boarding.
Is there a service I can rely on every month?
This corridor runs 2 departures on the date checked, first 14:00 and last 14:00, operated by 1. That pattern is stable enough to plan a monthly trip around, though the exact times shift with the season — the page is regenerated nightly from live inventory.
