So I asked around and found a shuttle from the airport to the central bus station , fortunately for most lines already stopped working.

He was crazyiness everywhere, just look at the photo, it is setting all day here with street carts selling everything from fake id $ 1 padthai (I had my fair share at this point! @ )
