Trat Bus Services Face Potential Suspension

According to a report by Matichon Online, the long-standing bus service connecting Trat province to Bangkok is at risk of ceasing operations. The situation emerged following reports that ticket sales for this route are scheduled to be suspended effective August 1, 2026.

For residents and travelers who rely on this public transport link, the potential suspension creates significant uncertainty regarding travel logistics between the eastern province and the capital. The disruption has prompted calls from consumer groups for the Ministry of Transport to intervene and address the underlying issues causing this service interruption.

At this stage, the exact reasons behind the decision to stop ticket sales have not been officially detailed by the transport authorities. Furthermore, it remains to be confirmed whether this is a permanent closure of the route or a temporary measure while administrative or operational challenges are resolved. Travelers planning trips to or from Trat are advised to monitor official announcements from the Transport Co., Ltd. (BKS) or local transport offices to verify the status of their travel arrangements before their departure date.
