Easy options: cheaper transportation vs. taxi
A taxi or Grab seems like the most convenient way to get from Bangkok to Pattaya. These door-to-door services are comfortable. They are far more expensive than shared vans or buses, though. Try buses at the airport if you want to save money.
From Suvarnabhumi Airport to Pattaya (bus to Pattaya)
When you get to Suvarnabhumi airport, go to the first floor by following the signs. If you walk in, you can purchase a bus ticket to PTY for around ฿190. Buses depart frequently, but sometimes they fill up and you have to wait. Before you travel, check Bell Travel Pattaya and related websites for set hours and online reservations.
If you want less stress, you can also schedule a transfer from Bangkok airport to Pattaya. Although they drop you off at your hotel, transfers are more expensive than the public bus. This is how many tourists strike a balance between cost and comfort.
Get To Pattaya By Bell Travel
Buses from Suvarnabhumi can be booked by Bell Travel , and reservations are simple online. On busy days, these shuttles sell out quickly. Thus, whenever possible, make reservations in advance. For the best deal, compare Bell Travel with private transfer options as well.
Ekkamai to Pattaya (Ekkamai bus station to Pattaya) from central Bangkok
Go to the Ekkamai bus station to travel from Ekkamai to Pattaya. For PTY, regular buses depart hourly. Depending on traffic, the trip typically takes two hours. The staff speaks enough English to assist, and tickets are reasonably priced.
Look up “Pattaya to ekkamai bus” or “Ekkamai to pattaya bus times” if you need the opposite route. All day long, buses and vans travel in both directions.
From Pattaya to Mochit Bus Terminal (Mochit bus terminal to Pattaya)
Every day departures to PTY are available from Bangkok’s northern bus terminal, Mochit. If you are staying close to Don Mueang Airport or Chatuchak, this is a good choice. The buses here are reasonably priced. Travel times should be close to two hours.
Low-cost transportation options to PTY include buses, vans, and shared rides.
Taking a shared van or public bus is frequently the most affordable way to get to PTY. Buses feel more comfortable and have more space. Vans can be tighter and make multiple stops, but they are faster.
Arriving in the city and using the Pattaya bus terminals
A lot of buses arrive at North Pattaya Road, which is the main Pattaya bus terminal. From there, you can take local songthaews to your hotel, Walking Street, or beaches. For quick trips, you can also hail a cab or motorbike taxi. Have a little cash on hand for quick rides.
