Pattaya Information
Travel and Local Information Guide
The most common form of transport in Pattaya is a songthaew, a dark blue pick-up truck with two benches in the back and a cover on top. Called 'baht buses' by most people, the official fare within Pattaya is B5, but foreigners are expected to pay B10. Although two tier pricing irritates many people, fighting the system probably isn't worth the effort. The fixed fare only applies when the songthaew is following a set route like a bus. If you want it to take you somewhere off its route, you'll have to negotiate a price.
How to Get There
Pattaya is just a 2 hour drive from Bangkok on good wide roads. Buses leave every half hour from Sukhumvit Soi 63, and with Suvarnabhumi Airport, getting to Pattaya is easier than ever. Touted limos and mini vans are invariably more expensive than the buses that leave from the airport's Transport Centre. (Read More)
Getting around Pattaya
Most of Pattaya Beach’s hotels, clubs, bars and shops are condensed into an area that spans little more than a few kilometres, so it’s perfectly possible to get around entirely on foot. However, the transport facilities here are so regular, reliable and affordable that you’ll probably see little point. Getting to anyone of the nearby beach areas, like Jomtien or Naklua, is also a cinch. (Read More)
