Getting from Hong Kong to Bangkok/Pattaya Cheaply

[w3bmast3r 0]

I was hoping some guys would have an idea as to how I could do this.

 

I have a plane ticket to hongkong which is non transferable and now want to go back to PTTY to hook up with my GF from the last / first trip.

 

So any ideas as to how one could get from hongkong to either bangkok or pattaya cheaply would be appreciated.

 

Also, some information on how to get the bus to PTTY would also be appreciated.

 

TIA

Dan,

 

I know Cathay Pacific flies into BKK but have no idea of the cost because its part of my SFO to BKK flight. I believe the bus service only operates between 6 AM and midnight. From the BKK airport take a metered cab to the Mo Chit bus terminal (around 100 baht), then get the air conditioned express bus to Pattaya (around 95 baht), from the Pattaya bus terminal jump on a baht bus to your hotel (around 60 baht).

For the flights, expedia.co.uk can do you a direct flight on Emirates for GBP 128.40 which is about Bt8,600. I have seen them cheaper when in Hong Kong but the cheapest are usually with Gulf Air or Emirates.

 

www.priceline.com.hk has some tickets at HKD 1190+tax with China Airlines for the dates you requested. I don't know whether you can book these on the net as you appear to be in the UK and would not perhaps be able to get a ticket mailed out.

 

As for options getting to Pattaya, then sure go for the taxi-bus-bahtbus idea but you can go upstairs to the departures area and pick up a taxi to go to Pattaya for around Bt1000 I suspect, perhaps a little cheaper. I don't know if Thai Limo still runs a bus to Pattaya or what time it goes.

 

Post your dates on this board and maybe you'll get someone who wants to share a cab to pattaya.

Earth to w3bmast3r - come in please !!!

 

I posted above that you could get a ticket from www.expedia.co.uk for the dates you mentioned at GBP 128.40 or www.priceline.com.hk for HKD 1190+tax (circa GBP 86 +tax).

 

See above post for more details.

£130 from hk to bkk with emirates - bit expensive but hopefully gonna be worth it - if me and my girl are still speaking at that point - bit dubious at the momnt as she is mid session with some other falang
