Attention all Backpackers to Thailand!
Victory Monument (or Anusawari Station in Thai ) was famous for being the centre of transportation in Bangkok.
Many buses and mini-vans provided transportation from central Bangkok to outer parts of Thailand.
For years,Victory Monument was the Mecca for Backpackers, low-budget travellers and locals.
However Thai Government is looking at this being the cause of heavy traffic in Bangkok.
And has banned the mini-vans out of Victory Monument.

It seems that there are no mini-vans in service in Victory Monument anymore. Buses are still operating.
According to my information, all the mini vans have moved to Bangkok Southern Bus terminal.
