Tara Tour & Travel
Samsen Rd ticket office near Khao San for no‑frills overland travel — evening buses to Chiang Mai/Pai, cross‑border Laos links, and island combos. Handy for last‑minute seats; swing by mid‑afternoon for night departures and confirm your pick‑up point.
About
A few minutes north of Khao San Road, Tara Tour & Travel runs a busy ticket counter on Samsen Road — the stretch where backpackers come to lock in an overnight bus, cross‑border hop, or a quick van out of the city. Expect LED boards with routes, stacks of paper tickets, and that familiar hum of fans and tuk‑tuks outside while staff line up your seat and explain the pick‑up point.
This is a go‑to for overland travel from the Khao San area: evening departures up to Chiang Mai and Pai, cross‑border runs to Laos, plus island combos (bus + ferry). They can also sort airport transfers and visa services. It’s a no‑frills operation, but it’s convenient when you need a last‑minute ticket near KSR.
Find the office at 23 Samsen Rd, diagonally across from Diamond House Hotel, about a 10‑minute walk from Khao San. Go earlier in the afternoon if you’re eyeing the night buses (most leave around 6–9pm), and always double‑check your departure point and bus class before you pay.
