Mini Bus Airport > Pattaya

???

One Pattaya mystery I have never been able to work out is the fact that most falangs seem to travel Airport > Pty by limo/taxi, but on the return they use a mini bus. (This always seems to me to be a appropriate reflection on the sadness of the event !).

But the question is what happens to all these vehicles after they have delivered their passengers to departures ? - there are always dozens of them when I an returning. I know of one mini bus service Airport > Pty but the timing never seems to be convenient for me.

 

Would a good cheap charlie tactic be to go up to departures and find a returning Pty Mini-bus and make the trip for a low price ?.

Dave,

 

My guess is that the service that is operated by Thai Limo, once they drop off the paxs at the airport  then they make the next scheduled trip to Pattaya.  I've taken the bus service that is offered by the hotels/travel agencies once from Pattaya to the airport.  The way it operated was I was picked up at my hotel in Pattaya by a minivan and taken to the terminal up on North Pattaya Rd.  There along with others who were picked up by other minivans were loaded onto a large bus and taken to a terminal right off the expressway in Bangkok.  There we were loaded into minivans.  If you were going to the airport you got into the designated ones and if you were going to Bangkok hotels you got into the others.
