Getting To Pattaya

Getting to Pattaya comfortably can be a little bit of a challenge. There is an airport, but it is so far from the city that flying there from Bangkok will take much longer than drving there. In the end, about the only practical way of getting to Pattaya is by road, which will generally take around two hours. The cheap road option is by bus, which can be a very easy and convenient way of getting around Thailand. Buses leave Bangkok's Eastern Bus Terminal (Skytrain Ekamai station) on a very frequent schedule.

The most comfortable way to go is by private transfer service. You can usually arrange this through your Bangkok hotel. If you're staying at a place that has it's own property in Pattaya, and you're staying there as well, they may have a low-cost shared transfer service.

If you really want to travel in style, contact Image Limousine. You won't get a black stretch car, but you will get picked up by a roomy car, or van if requested, in which you'll be greeted by an ice cold bottle of water, the day's newspaper, magazines and other amenities.
