Prachinburi to Pattaya (and back)

[Odense 498]

Can someone in the knowledgeable membership tell me what the easiest way is to go from Prachinburi to Pattaya (and back) if you are using public transportation ?

Define "public transporation". If it's bus, probably the best way is through Rayong and Chanthaburi -- or Rayong and up the back way towards Chachoengsao and Khao Yai, but veeing off towards Sa Kaeo. Going through Bangkok MIGHT be less hassle.

 

Train, you must go through Bangkok.

 

If it's taxi, then of course he'll go the way you want, and towards Chantaburi, then up the border is probably the best.

You are right - I mean train or bus - for some reason I don't think of taxi as public transportation even though it is - just not public mass transportation which I seem to think of as the same.

 

So I am guessing it is the bus - then my new question is - how/where to compare the different bus options - and how to actually find the bus once I decide on one ?
