Getting from Bangkok Airport to Pattaya
Planning your trip from Bangkok to Pattaya? While the journey isn’t too long, it can be challenging for first-time travelers. Here’s a guide to help you choose the best transportation option.
Options for Your Ride to Pattaya
Bus and Taxi Combo:
For a budget-friendly option, you can take a taxi to the bus station. From there, catch a bus to Pattaya and then another taxi to your hotel. It's cost-effective but requires a bit of navigation.
Shared Ride:
You might consider sharing a ride. Coordinate through an online Pattaya forum or join a group in a 6-9 passenger van. While sharing can lead to new friendships, be cautious?"with larger groups, the experiences can vary.
Pre-Booked Private Car:
For convenience, I recommend booking a ride online in advance. I use a reliable service I found through a Pattaya forum, and I've been using it for six years without any issues. My driver is always waiting for me just outside the luggage area.
Avoiding the Taxi Mafia:
Beware of the taxi operators at Bangkok International who aggressively offer rides at inflated prices. They charge about double what I pay for my pre-booked service.
Recommended Service
I use a service run by Mr. Toom, who’s so popular he’s had to expand his team. His service costs 1200 baht, covering airport parking, tolls, and the ride itself. They even accommodate requests for smoking and provide a contact number if you can’t find your driver.
All the drivers I've encountered have been friendly, allowing me to enjoy music and smoke during the ride. The journey takes about 1.5 hours, delivering me right to my hotel door. I generally tip around 20 baht for their efficient service.
Final Thoughts
I highly recommend booking your ride from Bangkok Airport to Pattaya in advance. It ensures a comfortable start to your vacation without the hassle of navigating buses. Start your holiday stress-free and get ready to enjoy the vibrant nightlife of Pattaya. Have a safe and enjoyable trip!
