Cherdchai Tour Launches 100% Electric Bus Service Between Korat and Bangkok
Cherdchai Tour has introduced a new 100% electric bus service on the Nakhon Ratchasima-Bangkok route, offering free travel for the first 10 days.
On October 10, 2026, Cherdchai Tour officially inaugurated its new 100% electric bus service connecting Nakhon Ratchasima (Korat) and Bangkok. Operating on route 21, the company is utilizing Foton-branded electric vehicles to navigate the corridor, signaling a shift toward sustainable transport despite rising diesel costs.
For travelers and residents, this development offers a modern alternative for intercity transit. The buses are equipped with 31 electric reclining seats, USB-A and Type-C charging ports, and onboard restroom facilities. Passengers can book their seats through the official Cherdchai Tour website or mobile application. To mark the launch, the company is offering free travel for the first 10 days of operation, after which the standard fare is set at 257 baht.
This service represents a notable upgrade in comfort and environmental consideration for the popular Korat-Bangkok route. While the initial promotional period provides an incentive for early adopters, potential passengers should note that the long-term reliability of the electric fleet on this specific route remains to be confirmed through ongoing operations. Travelers are encouraged to check the official booking platform for real-time availability and updates regarding the transition to standard pricing after the promotional period concludes.
