  ....................................................................................................
  In Korat (Nakhon Ratchasima), you have two primary bus stations:
  
  The Old Bus Station: Located in the center of town, this station primarily handles buses to Bangkok and popular destinations like Khao Yai National Park. It's more centrally located and convenient if you're staying in or near the city center.
  
  The New Bus Station: Situated a few kilometers from the city center, just past Terminal 21, this station serves as the main hub for buses traveling to various other destinations both within and outside of the region. It’s larger and more modern, catering to a wider range of routes.
  
  Here are some transport to/from the garden center. The bus or Song taw it will cost you from 20 - 40 baht. Grab/Bolt 150 to 300.
  1.Tha Chang Bus (Song Thaw): The Number 18 Chukarat-Tha Chang Song Thaw departs from the old bus station in Korat. This bus passes by the garden center inform the driver in advance that you will get of at Garden Center.
  (If you already in the city, head to Mea Kim Heng Market (ตลาดเเม่กิมเฮง), which is located near Yamo (ย่าโม) and the old bus station (บขส.เก่า). From there, take Song Tew No. 18 (รถสองเเถวสาย 18 หรือรถท่าช้าง). You can wait on the same side as Wat Sakea (วัดสะเก). The ride to the Garden Center will cost you 15 baht.
  
  2.Buriram-Surin Bus: Departing from the new bus station, this bus also passes by the garden center. It is slightly more expensive, usually costing under 40 baht, and may offer different routes or schedules depending on the day and time.
  
  *** When taking either bus, it’s a good idea to let the driver know your destination in advance. If you’d like, I can provide you with the location in Thai and a Google Maps link to ensure a smooth trip. Just let me know where you’re headed, and I’ll help with the details!
  
  3. By Train
  
  4. We may be able to pick you up or drop you off if possible, but we strongly recommend arranging your own transport to ensure everything runs smoothly. 😀
  
  ( To catch a bus to the city, you’ll need to walk across the road from the garden center to the opposite side. From there, you can catch a bus heading towards the city. Once you’re in the city area, it will be easier to find Grab or a taxi for further transportation. )
  ............................................................
  From Bangkok:
  Arriving at Suvarnabhumi Airport: Take the Airport Link to BTS Mo Chit Station. The total journey should take about 20-30 minutes.
  From BTS Mo Chit Station:
  Taxi/Grab/Bolt: A quick and convenient option, taking about 5-10 minutes to Mo Chit Bus Station.
  Bus/Motorbike: You can also take a bus or motorbike to the Mo Chit Bus Station.
  At Mo Chit Bus Station:
  We usually recommend taking Nakhonchai21. This bus is comfortable with amenities like a water bottle, a box of cookies, a bathroom, and cold air conditioning. Buses typically depart every 30 minutes to an hour.
  Alternatively, Nakhonchai21 has its station nearby if you prefer not to go to Mo Chit Bus Station.
  Traveling by Train: Another option is to take a train from Don Mueang Station to Korat, which takes about 4.5 hours.
  
  Or take Taxi/ Grab direct from airport to Garden centre.
