If you want a taxi, look up the guy that BigD recommends, in "rellable driver" post.

I may use that guy myself, I dont need free muay thai boxing lessons from khong fa

Paul,

better check the name again, it may be U-tapao?

 

I am sure you will find a cab or ride when you pull into the airport, they dont strand you in those places without transportation.

 

Maybe bookmark some phone numbers before you go!

You are right. It is Utapao airport. Thanks gor your information.

 

Ting_tong, if you are in town between Jan. 7-10, we can hook up sometime for drinks.

There is a hotel bus that use to be timed to meet the Bankok Airways flights from Koh Samui. Last time I few into U-TAPAO, 2 years ago, they didn't have ramdon taxis waiting for customers. A few people had pre arranged taxis or minivans. Taking the bus is not too bad but can be a little tight for space. You book it at the desk in the small arrivals/departure area. I can't remember what it cost but 250 baht seems to come to mind. You just tell them what hotel and they will drop you off at it.

 

So unless things have changed, I would prearrange a car from an agent or I would get on the bus. If you have to call for transportation while at the airport, it will take forever from them to drive out to U-Tapao to pick you up and drive back.

 

Maybe some other member can help me out. I seem to remember to take about 30 to 40 minutes to get out to U-Tapao. But time moves slow when you are trying to get to Pattaya.

 

Anyone no how far it is from U-Tapoa to Pattaya?

I flew from Samui to U-Tapao in December and there were quite a few taxi's waiting (I hadn't bothered pre-arranging one) as well as the bus. I can't remember how much I paid for the taxi in the end but as livermore said it was about 35 mins to get to pattaya.
