To begin with, I have chance to pursue the Master Degree at Heriot-Watt University located at Edinburgh city, Scotland for one year since 1 June, 2011 to 3 September, 2012. I left Thailand since 28 September by Emirate Airline (EK 373) from Suvarnabhumi, Bangkok to Dubai International Airport which took six hours. Thereafter, I waited for transit the flight to Manchester Airport, UK for 3 hours and took the air flight EK 21 to there which took 8 hours.
Remark : Air Flight by Emitate Airline (30/7 kg loaded/handed baggage) : 17,000 Baht
It is quite evident that I would like to control my budget by catching the train from Manchester to Edinburgh, the train took 3.39 hours from Manchester Airport railway station to Haymarket Railway station. The railway fee is about 34.50 GBP, but I have booked the ticket online on https://www.thetrainline.com and collected the ticket at self-service machine at the departed station.

After that I took the bus line 25 to the University. The buss charged 3.20 GBP for one day ticket or 1.30 GBP for a trip. The bus is greatly on time and also can be find the schedule on iPhone through Edinbus program.
