Pattaya is the tourist hub of Thailand, with one exception, the airport is not able to accommodate large numbers of planes (not) and most travelers fly home from Bangkok. In this article we will touch on such a topic as Pattaya - Bangkok, how to get there?

We will not consider such a banal method as a transfer from a hotel, since it lies on the surface and there is no point in devoting a whole paragraph to it.

Let's start with, perhaps, the simplest and cheapest form of transport - the bus. An economical way to get to Bangkok, after a scooter, is by bus, of which there are a huge number departing from Pattaya.

Pattaya - Bangkok buses depart from six different places in the city, but we will tell you about the most popular of them.

North Bus Station

So, how to get from Pattaya to Bangkok on your own? The most expensive buses depart from the northern point of the city - the northern bus station. Buses departing from this stop go to Suvarnabhumi Airport, Mo Chit, Ekkamai bus stations and to the bus station located in the southern part of Bangkok. The fare is 150–200 baht, depending on the season.

Severny bus station is marked on the map

Schedule: from 4.30 to 23.00

Traffic interval: once an hour (it happens that drivers delay departure).

In addition, not far from this bus station there is a stop on route 389, which goes to Bangkok International Airport.

Regular bus

The most popular bus route is 389. It runs from the Terminus located at Jomtien to Suvarnabhumi Airport. The bus station is located opposite the Italian restaurant Pan-Pan (more details can be found on the map) near Thappraye Street. In addition to the Italian restaurant, there is a food court next to the bus station.

In addition to the final stop, there are four stops along the route where the bus picks up passengers. They are indicated on the diagram.

The fare is 134 baht.

Important! It is better to purchase tickets in advance, as there is a possibility that you will not leave at the scheduled time. Ideally within a few hours or a day. Plus, don't forget about the queues.

Bus station near Central Festival

The most famous place among tourists, however, this does not mean excellent service. So, under the loud name of the bus station, there is a separate table on which Bangkok is written (tickets are sold here), and nearby there is a bored minibus of an unknown year of manufacture.

It is worth noting that you may not leave this stop at all, due to the driver’s reluctance (this happens either late in the evening or early in the morning; this did not happen during the day).

You can get from here to the airport, and the cost of the trip will be 134 baht.
Buses depart from 6 am to 6 pm. The distance from Pattaya to Bangkok is 120 km, and by minibus this will result in 2 hours of travel (but if you take into account that transport tends to get stuck in traffic jams), the time can easily increase to three hours.

Parking near the pier

You can get to Bangkok by minibus from the central Pattaya pier, where the ferries are moored. In this area there are two booths that sell minibus tickets. The price is quite affordable and is only 100 baht. But, it is worth considering that complete chaos reigns here and it is not always possible to leave on time.

Despite the fact that driving minibuses is not so bad, you certainly can’t envy them in terms of punctuality.

Minibuses depart one after another starting at seven in the morning. The end time of the cruise is not indicated, but after six it will be quite problematic to leave.

Stop between Second and South streets

This bus station is a good alternative to stopping near the ferry crossing. It is considered the cheapest of all the stations in the city, the ticket price is only 90 baht.

Tickets are traditionally sold at a table near the Phra Pattaya restaurant.

Like any bus station, chaos reigns here, so an extra sedative won't hurt you at all.

How long does it take to get from the stop to Bangkok? Approximately 1.5 - 2 hours.

How to speed up your trip?

Naturally, a bus is not a car and the passenger is tied to it, but there is a small life hack that enterprising Thais use. In order not to waste time in traffic jams, you can ask the driver to stop near the highway exit, near the Udom Suk metro station.

Taxi Pattaya Bangkok

How to get from Pattaya to Bangkok without using public transport? Typically, this question is asked by fans of individual car trips. The cost of a taxi is completely undemocratic, unlike a bus or minibus, but in some cases it is worth it. When traveling by car, you will not be tied to bus stops and can get anywhere in Bangkok.
The distance from Pattaya to the capital of Thailand is 120 km and for this distance taxi drivers charge from 1200 to 800 baht per car.

A good option would be to book a car in advance for a specific date. You can order either in person, at a kiosk, or by phone, however, in such a situation, you will need knowledge of English in order to communicate with your interlocutor. Phone number +6681-205-30-44 or +6692-219-01-77. This is the company number pattaya-taxiservice.com. By the way, you can also find out more about the excursion there, of course, for an additional fee.

Keep in mind that you need to negotiate with the driver in advance and it is advisable to write down the price on a piece of paper in front of him. Plus, there are toll sections along the road, and it’s also better to discuss these points. “Enterprising” taxi drivers like tourists to pay for travel along them.

1. Regular sedan - 1200 baht.
2. “Family” car - 1400 baht.
3. Toyota Fortuner - 1500 baht.
