Bangkok Bus Terminal (Chatuchak)
The Bangkok Bus Terminal , colloquially known as Mo Chit 2 or New Mo Chit, is one of the main long-distance bus stations serving Greater Bangkok. It is operated by the state enterprise The Transport Co., Ltd., and serves as the main gateway to and from the northern and northeastern provinces for those travelling by bus.
The station is located on Kamphaeng Phet 2 Road in Bangkok's Chatuchak District, opposite Wachirabenchathat Park. It began operations on 8 April 1998, replacing the older Mo Chit Bus Terminal, whose location was being converted for the construction of the main BTS Skytrain depot. The station serves as many as 150,000 daily passengers, especially during the peak New Year and Songkran seasons.
In 2016, plans were made to relocate the station to make way for facilities of the new Bang Sue Central Station of the State Railway of Thailand, who owns the land, but ultimately it was decided that a new bus terminal would be built in the same area.
