There are at least two bus terminals in Nakhon Ratchasima. The old Bus Terminal 1 and the new Bus Terminal 2.
When we enquired at the guesthouse reception, we were told that we could board from bus terminal 1, so we went there. It was only 150 metres from our guesthouse, but when we asked about the Phimai bus we were told to go to Bus Terminal 2.
