[ottoparts 0]

I'm not sure if there are any direct buses that run from the new airport to Pattaya- at least none that run 24hrs. You could probably catch a bus from the airport to the Ekkamai bus station- and from there, it's a 3-4 hour run to Pattaya. The last bus is at 11:00pm though.

why, why, why do you fly 1/2 way round the world for your 2 week holiday and then catch a bus. If you cannot afford the 1200 Baht for the ride, perhaps you shouldn't go on holiday.

 

I prefer to book a ride in advance and have someone waiting for me with his little sign. Maybe it is an ego thing -but whatever - it is nice to have a ride waiting.

 

I am not about throwing money around or ringing bells - but I can find other ways to save a few Baht - like get an inexpensive, butt nice, guest house room, eat Thai food for 30 Baht instead of a 500baht dinner in a farang restaurant.

 

but - hey - it is your holiday - so - if you want to spend it on a bus - up to you...just not my thing

Call me a cheap charlie. If there's a bus conveniently available, I'll take it. One tenth the cost leaves one LT extra. The bus is not an option if you arrive after dark. There just aren't any scheduled. It's also not an option going home for early morning flights.

I'm definately with the bus brigade. Why spend 1200bht to sit bored to death, alone, in a taxi. When for 100 bht 'ish you to chat to nice Thai people?

 

I many times used to get the train from Don Muang to Hua Lampong. TEN baht! MRT + BTS to Ekamia. Or taxi 100bht to Mochit.

 

Then shared baht bus with other new arrivals (& returning girls;-)) to go hotel. Interesting fun journey.

 

Who was that famous traveler/explorer that said, "Its not the arriving, its the journey" or similar?
