From the capital of Thailand, you can get to the resort town of Pattaya in several ways:

• Order a transfer
• Take a taxi directly at the airport
• Get there by bus

How to book a transfer from Bangkok airport

Bangkok has two international airports: Donmuang and Savarnabhumi. All flights from Russia, Europe, CIS countries - arrive at the last. Donmuang Airport serves mainly flights to Southeast Asia (Vietnam, Malaysia, Laos, Thailand, and so on), but many of these flights are operated to the capital's main airport, Savarnabhumi.

Savarnabhumi Airport (Bangkok)

In order to arrange a transfer in time for your arrival at international Airport Savarnabhumi, you need to contact the hotel where you plan to stay in advance and check if this service is available. In some hotels, the transfer service is included in the price of your stay, that is, you do not have to pay for it separately.

If the hotel does not provide such a service for free, then it is likely that there is a paid transfer, the cost of which should not exceed the cost of a regular taxi. The second way is to contact one of the carriers and order a transfer. For example, the kiwitaxi.ru service. In both cases, you will be met at the arrivals area by a person holding a sign with your name on it.

Taxi to Pattaya from Savarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok

To use the taxi service, you need to go down to the 1st floor of Savarnabhumi Airport, there you will find stands with the inscription "Public Taxi". The person behind the desk, in turn, will direct you to a specific car in the taxi rank. You can buy a taxi ticket on your own in a special machine.

Taxi at Bangkok Savarnabhumi Airport

Official Thai taxi cars can be of any bright color - pink, yellow, green, dark green with a yellow stripe, blue, red. Bright cars - interesting feature Thai taxi. On the roof of each car you will see a light panel with the inscription "TAXI METER". The fare depends on the distance and is paid according to the meter.

Taxi rank at Savarnabhumi Airport

Make sure that the meter is turned on and not covered with a cloth, which taxi drivers often do, in the hope of deceiving passengers and taking more money for the trip. Basically, a trip to Pattaya will cost from 1300 to 1800 THB. On the way there will be two toll sections of the road that you will have to pay (30 THB). If the meter is not turned on - the taxi driver is breaking the law, ask him to turn on the meter. If he refuses, then the phrase "Touristic p oliсe" (tourist police) should bring him to his senses.

To save money, you can go up to the 4th floor of the airport and take a taxi that has just arrived and dropped off passengers. With drivers, you can immediately agree on a lower cost. It is quite possible to get to Pattaya for 1000-1200 Thai baht, and the price tag of 1500 is already without any discounts. I must say right away that this method of working for TAXI METER drivers in Thailand is not legal.

You can also call a taxi through the Uber app.

How to get to Pattaya by bus from Savarnabhumi airport and how much does it cost

To get to Pattaya by bus, upon arrival in Bangkok, after passing through passport control and collecting luggage, go down to the 1st floor. There are elevators at the airport, to which there is always a queue. It is much more convenient to go down the escalator.

Escalators at Savarnabhumi Airport

Find exit number 8 on the first floor of the airport. Near the exit you will see a counter with the inscription "Pattaya". Buses to Pattaya leave every hour from 7:00 to 22:00. The fare is 120 THB (Thai baht). Only cash is accepted for payment, so take care of it. It is enough to exchange $ 50 at the airport, this is quite enough to get to the city, where the exchange rate is much more attractive. Exchangers in Pattaya at every turn, so this will not be a problem.

After buying a ticket, you just have to wait for the departure time. Boarding the bus will begin 15 minutes before departure. You must go to the counter where you bought the ticket in advance and wait until the controller invites you to follow him to the bus. On the bus, the seat indicated on the ticket must be occupied.

Selling bus tickets from the airport to Pattaya

After boarding the bus, the controller checks the tickets of all passengers, and only after that the bus leaves. The road will take about 1.5-2 hours (depending on the destination). In total, the bus makes 4 stops in Pattaya - not far from the North bus station, near the Big C central store, in the Bangkok-Pattaya Hospital area, and the last stop is in the Jomtien area, at the southern bus station (Thappraya Street, near the Foodmart supermarket).

Bus from Savarnabhumi Airport to Pattaya

A bus ticket can be purchased in advance (no more than 3 days in advance), and if you suddenly change your mind about going, you will be refunded upon presentation of the ticket. Also, you can adjust the departure time - through the cashier at the bus station.

Water is not provided like in the tourist bus, so stock up on drinks in advance. The supermarket is literally 50 meters to the left of exit number 8. The entrance to the supermarket is from the street. There you can also buy food, hygiene products and a Thai SIM card without a queue. Mobile communications and the Internet in Thailand is a topic worthy of a separate article.

There are three ways to get to Pattaya - by bus, train or by ordering a taxi transfer. From Bangkok airport to Pattaya can not be reached by train, but can be reached by bus or taxi.

Let's take a closer look at each option below.

How to get from Bangkok to Pattaya by bus

Buses Bangkok - Pattaya run from two bus stations in the Thai capital: northern (Mo Chit) and eastern (Ekkamai). Buses leave every 25-40 minutes and reach Pattaya in 2-2.5 hours. The ticket costs about 125 baht.

It is more convenient to go from the eastern (Ekamai) bus station, since it is located near the metro station of the same name (Ekamai station), and buses from this station run more often than from the northern one.

Make sure you take the non-stop "express" (most buses to Pattaya are like this, but others make several stops along the way and take almost twice as long in total).

Map with the location of the bus and railway stations of Bangkok:

Minivan

Previously, Pattaya could be reached by minivan from the Victory Monument metro station, but recently the Thai authorities have kicked out all minivans from there. Now they depart from the official bus stations of Bangkok, and free shuttles have been launched from Victory Monument to these stations.

For example, Pattaya Van minivans run from Mo Chit bus station every 15-20 minutes, the ticket costs only 92 baht per trip.

From Russia - by plane. There are no options here. The only question - to the local U-Tapao airport or the metropolitan giant Suvarnabhumi - is solved very simply: only charters fly to Pattaya from Russian cities and only in the season, while planes from Moscow depart daily for Bangkok, there are direct flights for sane money, there are quite convenient transfers. With other cities in Thailand and some neighboring countries, Pattaya is connected by popular here bus routes, a railway line passes through the city, and in the calm sea season, the most stubborn romantics can take a ferry from the other side of the Gulf of Thailand.

By plane

As mentioned above, it is U-Tapao from Russia that can be reached only in the high season by one of the tourist charters. The charter program and prices are announced closer to autumn. But flying to Suvarnabhumi is no problem. Aeroflot has a daily direct flight from Sheremetyevo, travel time is just over 9 hours, tickets start at 300-350 USD. S7 offers flights with transfers in Irkutsk, Air India flies via Delhi, Qatar Airways lands in Doha, Turkish Airlines in Istanbul, Etihad Airways in Abu Dhabi, and Air China stops in Beijing.

From St. Petersburg, all flights via Moscow. It takes 6 hours to fly from Irkutsk with S7 to the capital of Thailand, the price is about 200 USD.

It is a completely different story if you need to get to Pattaya from other Thai cities and some major centers of Southeast Asia. This is where U-Tapao comes into play. For a ticket from Phuket, Bangkok Airways asks about 2200 THB, AirAsia and Kan Air connect northern Chiang Mai with Pattaya, tickets from 700 THB. Flying for the weekend to shop in Kuala Lumpur will cost 3500 THB in both directions with due luck.

On buses and minibuses

Despite the cheapness of domestic flights, Thais are very fond of traveling between the provinces of the country by buses and minibuses, which are called "minibuses" here.

An option for those who are thirsty for new experiences, exotics and romantics of the railway. There is 1 train per day from Bangkok to Pattaya, departing from the capital at 6:55, you will be there at 10:34 if the train does not decide to delay on the way - and this is not at all uncommon for Thai Railways. All the way, some Thais will sell a variety of food, the second will consume it non-stop. An entertaining way to get acquainted with the life of ordinary people, especially since trains with 3rd class cars usually run on the route, a ticket for which costs about 30 THB for such a distance.

On a ferryboat

In the high season, when the sea in the Gulf of Thailand is not worried, but passenger ships are allowed to leave the ports freely, there is a theoretical possibility to arrive in Pattaya by ferry from Hua Hin or Koh Samui. The decision to launch (or not launch) the route, as well as the schedule and prices, are taken by the carriers closer to the point. In past seasons, the speed of ferries on the Hua Hin - Pattaya line increased from 6 to 3 hours, the price for one way is about 1200 THB.

Tourists who arrived in Bangkok on a tour package may not think about transfer to Pattaya, they will be met near Suvarnabhumi Airport and taken to the desired hotel. But for those who travel on their own, it is worth exploring the options for moving around the country in advance. Transport links between major cities Thailand is well developed, and the distance from Bangkok to Pattaya is only 160 km. Therefore, getting to the popular resort is not difficult. You can take a bus, minivan, train or taxi. Each of these modes of transportation differs in terms of driving time, prices and comfort.

Buses run daily strictly with a schedule from two bus stations in Bangkok - Mo Chit and Ekkamai. The bus schedule is customized for tourists. They run from Ekkamai Bus Station during the day from 5:00 am to 10:00 pm. From Mo Chit Bus Station there are flights to Pattaya from 5:00 to 19:00. Buses run every half hour to an hour. The cost of such a trip is approximately 100 baht. The journey will take 2 hours. In Pattaya, buses arrive at North Pattaya Street.

Tickets can be purchased at the box office located in the station building on the ground floor, or on the website. On the ticket bought in advance, you will see the number of the parking point from which your bus will depart.

On a note! All cashiers at bus stations report the number of seats sold to each bus driver. Therefore, if you are late for a while, the bus will be waiting for you. But do not abuse the situation, the maximum delay is 15 minutes, then the bus will leave without you and the ticket cannot be returned.

Traveling by bus has many advantages, including:

• one of the cheapest tickets
• all buses are equipped with air conditioning;
• large luggage compartments;
• all drivers are officially employed and are responsible for passengers. Therefore, this option is the safest.

But there are also disadvantages in their schedule - long breaks for rest and snacks (often delayed for 1 hour or more) and buses leave no more than once every half an hour.

Minivan

Minivans depart from Bangkok once every half an hour, the movement time is from 6 am to 9 pm. Travel time to the resort will be about 2-3 hours, depending on traffic jams in the capital and on the highway. Tourists are attracted to this transport option by the fact that there is no strict schedule, many departure stations in Bangkok and inexpensive price trips.

Significant disadvantages of this method of transportation to the resort are:

• Many Thai drivers do not know how to drive according to the rules, they exceed the speed limit. As a result, accidents happen from time to time.
• The minivan departure time ends early.
• The salon is designed for 14 passengers, but cunning drivers can take 16 people each, putting them on folding rear seats.
• Very often, the salon is filled with various boxes, bags, which the minivan driver delivers on the way to the right points.

In Bangkok, most minivans can be found in their large parking lots. They are located at Mo Chit Bus Station, Victory Monument and Ekkamai Bus Station. The price of a minivan trip is 300 baht. Minivans stop in Pattaya next to the Big C supermarket, on the corner of Sukhumvit and at the stop South Pattaya is the final destination. You can buy a minivan ticket to Pattaya on the website.

Train

This is the most unpopular option for tourists who need to get to their resort. Train schedules are not at all adjusted to the guests of the country. The route will take a long time, about 4 hours.

The train in this direction leaves at 6:50 from the Bangkok railway station, called Hua Lamphong. He arrives in Pattaya around 11 am at the East Railway Station. The cost of a train ride is 80 baht. Of the advantages of such a trip, one can name exotic and cheapness, the ticket price is the lowest among other types of transport.

This option of moving around the country can only be suitable for those tourists who are not in a hurry or want to enjoy the view from the train window. The morning road will delight any guest of the country with its exoticism - palm trees, mountains, unusual bright landscapes and the bright sun will accompany you throughout the trip.

There are no sleeping places in the train cars, only seated ones. But inside the wagons, a good finish has been made and comfortable places for passengers.

1. Look for exit number 6 from the airport, where the bus stops are located. Among all the routes, you should find the bus number - A1.
2. To get to Bangkok, you should go to the stop of the northern bus station Mo Chit. Many of the drivers do not stop at this stop and go a little further to the metro station of the same name. But you can ask the conductor to drop you off at the right place. Just walk up to him and say "Please, bus station Mo Chit". The cost of such a trip is 60 baht.
3. Once at this stop, you can go to Pattaya on the next bus. From the northern station, they run daily from 5 am to 7 pm. Travel time is about 2 hours. The ticket price is about 100 baht.

You can pre-purchase a bus ticket to Pattaya, which departs from the Mo Chit bus station on the website. In this case, you will not have to queue for a ticket and will not worry about the fact that you may not have enough space.

You can also take a free bus from Don Muang Airport to. But the journey will take approximately 40 minutes. And then at Suvarnabhumi Airport, purchase a bus ticket to Pattaya. This method is less convenient, as it takes much more time.

And if you don’t want to waste time on transfers and prefer maximum comfort, you can order a taxi on the website, but the price in this case increases by about 10 times.

The fastest way to travel from Bangkok to Pattaya is by taxi. Many lovers of nature and Thailand itself specially go by train to see the panoramic view of landscapes that opens for 4 hours from the windows of the train.
