Upon arrival at Bangkok airport, you will need to fill out an immigration card, which is issued either at or at the counter at the airport. You will not pass by. Then we go to passport control... After all customs procedures, we pick up the baggage, it is already, as a rule, on the conveyor belt marked with the number that corresponds to your flight. You can see this information on the screens located in the airport hall, where the baggage is issued. Well that's all, you flew to Bangkok, got your luggage. Then we go to the exit. There are several ways to get to Pattaya from Bangkok. Taxi, and even. Travel time by road will be 1.5 hours. By train - 3.5 hours. Let's figure it out.

How to get from Bangkok to Pattaya quickly and cheaply? Many tourists are interested in this question, because due to its affordability and relatively close location to the main airport of the country, where most of international flights Pattaya remains the most popular resort in Thailand, visited by hundreds of thousands of foreign tourists every year. This article describes all the main ways to quickly and inexpensively get from Bangkok to Pattaya using various types of transport.

THE CONTENT OF THE ARTICLE (for a quick transition, you can click on the link)

Most often, the need to find transport from Bangkok to Pattaya and from Pattaya to Bangkok arises in the following cases:

- for independent travelers who, after arriving in the country, decided to spend some time in its capital (explore the sights of Bangkok, visit shopping centers, etc.) and only then go to the resort;

- for independent or organized tourists who are tired of spending their entire vacation on Pattaya beaches and they decided to change the scenery slightly by going to Bangkok for a few days (for example, to visit the Siam Park Adventure or Dream World amusement parks, visit Royal Palace in Bangkok, temples and shopping centers cities).

- for vacationers who commit independent travel by country, which most often means visiting Bangkok to transfer to a flight to another city or resort (for example, for independent trip to Kanchanaburi province, in ancient capital the countries of Ayutthaya, to the islands in the southern part of the country, including the islands of the Andaman Sea).

- for businessmen who arrived in Bangkok on business and do not want to miss the opportunity to relax for a couple of days on the nearest to the capital famous resort, especially when a few days of a business visit fell on the weekend.

- from independent travelers who have just arrived in Thailand and are going to relax in Pattaya, but not very well prepared for their trip and instead of directly, which is easier, faster and cheaper, got to Bangkok and are trying to leave for the resort from there.

Bangkok to Pattaya by regular bus

If during your trip to Thailand you need to get from Bangkok to Pattaya, and for some reason you do not want to use the services of local taxi drivers (for example, you want to save money), then you have a number of more affordable ways to cover the distance between the capital and the resort. First of all, we are talking about regular buses from Bangkok to Pattaya, which depart from several points in the capital of Thailand at once.

Due to the fact that the cost of regular buses on the indicated route is about the same, it makes sense to choose the bus station that is closer to you at the moment, because this will save money on public transport. Most popular with tourists and local residents are the bus stations of Bangkok, which are located near metro stations: Ekkamai East Bus Station and Mochit North Bus Station in Bangkok.

To get to the Ekamai bus station, located in the eastern part of Bangkok, the easiest way is to use the Sukhumvit line. Exit at the station of the same name: Ekkamai. From the bus station located at this metro station, modern, air-conditioned buses leave for Pattaya almost every half hour. It is also important that in addition to the small interval between flights, they operate from early morning until late evening (from 05:30 to 23:00). Please be aware that on last flight there may be no tickets available.

The fare from Bangkok to Pattaya is about 120 baht (about $ 4), while paying separately for those transported to luggage compartment a bus bag or a suitcase is not needed. The duration of the trip is about two hours (more often less than more), just when purchasing a ticket, please specify that you need a direct flight, and not a longer one, which is carried out through Chonburi - main city provinces. It is also better to choose buses of the first class, the distinguishing feature of which is the blue stripe and the number 1 on the sides. The point here is not even comfort, but the fact that second-class buses have a huge number of stops on the route, which is why such a bus often takes more than 3 hours to get to Pattaya, and if, when leaving Bangkok, it gets into a small traffic jam, then all 4 hours.

Bangkok's Northern Bus Terminal, known as Mo Chit, is the largest in the city and is located in the northern part of the capital. Just do not be surprised when instead of the Mo Chit sign you see the Chatuchak sign on the bus terminal building itself - this is normal for Thailand :). By the way, it is Chatuchak that is the name of the most famous Bangkok market located nearby, which is probably why the name migrated to the bus station.

You can get to the station by arriving at the Mochit station by two types of transport in Bangkok at once: the overground metro (the final station of Mochit of the Sukhumvit line) and the same station on the only branch. As in the case of the eastern bus station, fare from Bangkok to Pattaya is about 120 baht. Buses from the northern Mo Chit bus station also leave almost every half hour from 05:00 in the morning, but the last trip from here is already at 19:00 (or 20:00 - depending on the season) in the evening.

Due to the fact that the bus service between Bangkok and Pattaya is carried out by several bus companies at once, I advise you to always check in the process of purchasing tickets where exactly the bus arrives in Pattaya: at a specific bus station or is at all passing and will drop you off on the Sukhumvit highway in the city (the last option more rare, but still worth clarifying). I also advise you to read the article, because you most likely need not only to get to the resort, but also to get to a certain area in the city (this article just tells you how to do this in the easiest way).

How to get from Bangkok to Pattaya by taxi

The easiest, but also the most expensive way to get from Bangkok to Pattaya is by taxi. However, for those who value comfort, speed and are ready to pay a little more for it, the option is quite good. Only in any case, you need to bargain with the taxi driver, because the initial price for the specified route, which the taxi driver calls, is 1500-2500 baht. After a successful bargain, the price should drop to 1000-1200 baht. In addition, you will need to pay about another 150 baht for travel on the expressway.

Also, even before the start of the trip, you should agree on where exactly the taxi will take you: to one of the bus stations, to a specific street in the city, to the door of a specific hotel, etc. Consider the travel time, i.e. on arrival in Pattaya, you should not force the taxi driver to take you to the hotel located on Walking Street, if this street is already closed to traffic due to the onset of the next evening in Pattaya. You also need to be prepared for the fact that some taxi drivers (stopped on the street) simply do not want to take you to Pattaya, because prefer to work exclusively in the capital.

How to get from Bangkok to Pattaya by train

If for some reason you do not like the methods described above that allow you to quickly and quite inexpensively get to Pattaya from Bangkok, there is another option: a trip along the indicated route by train. Due to the long travel time, the option, one might say, is not for an amateur, i.e. for avid ferroequinologists (fans railroad). I must say right away that I have not yet used this method to get to Pattaya, so the data is based on the information available on the network.

The only train on the Bangkok - Pattaya route departs Bangkok at 06:55 am and arrives in Pattaya at 10:35, i.e. travel time is 3 hours 40 minutes, which is comparable to second class buses. The return flight from Pattaya leaves for the capital at 14:21 and arrives at the destination station at 18:25, i.e. the way back takes more than 4 hours. Perhaps someone will find it very tempting the cost of a train ride on this route, which is only 31 Baht (less than $ 1) in a 3rd class carriage.

Departure of the train from Bangkok is carried out from the main (underground metro station of Bangkok MRT with the same name Hua Lamphong). In Pattaya, the train arrives at railway station located off the Sukhumvit Highway (in East Pattaya), south of North Pattaya Rd.

How to get from Bangkok to Pattaya by car

If in your travels you prefer to move in a rented car and want to independently get to Pattaya from Bangkok by it, then you should count on a journey of about two hours. In this situation exact time it is quite difficult to predict because of the different traffic intensity, knowledge of the route to follow, your driving skills when driving a car with right-hand drive and the ability to navigate the maps of Thailand.

I note right away that due to the more close range to Pattaya and no need to move around the Thai capital, a car rented at Suvarnabhumi Airport can get to your destination much easier and faster - the journey will take you no more than an hour and a half. For a long time, Highway 3, connecting Bang Na and Trat, was considered the optimal route. Moving along this highway from Bangkok to Pattaya, you need to drive through the cities of Bang Pakong, Chonburi and Si Racha. Recently, a new route has gained popularity, following through Chonburi and Pattaya to Rayong.

When choosing a car as vehicle to travel between Bangkok and Pattaya, I recommend that you definitely get up-to-date road maps or upload a map of Thailand to your navigator. The traffic itself on the motorways is quite normal, and the roads, with the exception of small sections, are very good quality... However, it should be remembered that at the exits from Bangkok there are quite difficult (for drivers accustomed to right-hand traffic) road junctions, where you can get lost very quickly without an experienced real or electronic assistant.

The cheapest way to get from Bangkok to Pattaya

If you want to get to Pattaya from Bangkok in the most accessible way, and moving on the cheap train, which is described above, is not suitable for you for any reason (you are not satisfied with the travel time, schedule, the need to get to the train station in Bangkok and from the station railway in Pattaya to the center of the resort), then you should pay attention to the usual regular minibuses (minibuses). Finding the indicated transport, which costs only 97 Baht, is quite simple if you know some of the landmarks.

The point from where minibuses depart from Bangkok to various destinations, including Pattaya, is located near the Victory Monument in the northern part of the capital. The easiest way to get there is on the BTS Skytrain to the station of the same name (Victory Monument). You don't need to go to the square itself: if you come by metro from the city center, then an impromptu mini-bus station is located on the right in the direction of travel.

At the same time, it is not so easy to notice it, because there is no building there: in a small courtyard, tables are set in a row at which Thais sit and sell tickets for minibuses. The best landmark, visible right from the BTS platform, is the dealership building with the large vertical “Suzuki” wordmark on the facade. (see photo above). Just next to this building, closer to the Victory Monument, there is a ticket sales point worth 97 Baht (which is equivalent to $ 3 - more about this in the article "Money in Thailand. Exchange rates in Thailand today").

There are homemade signs next to the tables with directions written on them. Just go to the table where it says "Pattaya" and buy a small ticket. The very landing on minibuses is carried out on the site, which is located further between the buildings. The problem you might run into is that many minibuses are missing Latin lettering. So if you don’t know Thai, you will have to worry a little in order not to miss your minibus. I used the Bangkok - Pattaya flight only once, but I remembered that the indicated route has number 4. It seems that this number was written on the ticket and exactly on the transport itself.

Finally, a few words about the disadvantages of this method. get from Bangkok to Pattaya ... You won't be able to use the minibus late in the evening, because last flight at 20:00. In my opinion, it is better not to use it if you have large bags or suitcases. I only had a small backpack with me, but there was no room for it in the minibus either: there is no trunk as such, the rows of seats are close to each other, and the bus does not leave until all the seats are occupied. As a result, when I was 183 cm tall, I had to keep the backpack on my knees all the way, which did not contribute to comfort at all.

In addition, I do not recommend occupying the back row of seats for those who want to admire the view from the window while driving. The back row of seats in Thai minibuses is usually raised above the rest, so in order to look out the window, you have to bend or bend your neck, which quickly tires. Finally, if on the way you noticed that the minibus turned off the road and stopped, and people started getting out of it without their belongings, most likely you are not in Pattaya yet, but stopped at a gas station.

In this case, you have about 10 minutes to buy fruit or food from street vendors, or go to the store to buy something cold. You need to get out of the minibus in any case, because passengers are legally prohibited from being inside while refueling. Therefore, if you do not want to buy anything, just stretch your legs. Regardless of which way you choose to get from Bangkok to Pattaya, I wish you a pleasant trip!

How to get to Pattaya from the airport? This question often arises among travelers who are organizing for the first time independent rest in Thailand and want to choose an option for themselves that will make the route from Bangkok airport to Pattaya as fast, comfortable and affordable as possible. In this article, I will talk in detail about several of the most convenient and affordable methods that will allow you to minimal cost money and time to overcome the route between the two airports in Bangkok and Pattaya.

How to cheaply get to Pattaya from Suvarnabhumi airport

Due to the fact that main airport Thailand is located between Bangkok and Pattaya, it makes sense to get to the named resort right after arriving in the country, bypassing visiting the capital (unless, of course, visiting it is not included in your plans for the first days of rest). So, you flew to the main airport of the country, saving a lot of money by using practical advice from the article. You can get to Pattaya from the specified airport in two repeatedly proven ways: by regular bus and by taxi. I do not even consider the plane, tk. the distance between Suvarnabhumi and Pattaya is only 110 km.

Buses from Bangkok Airport (Suvarnabhumi) to Pattaya

The easiest way is to go down to the first floor of Suvarnabhumi Airport (Level 1) after arrival and passing all the procedures. Between the exits to streets 7 and 8 there are ticket offices where you can buy tickets for a comfortable regular bus to Pattaya at a price of 120 baht. Travel time is about 2 hours, while Ending station- at the southern bus station of Pattaya, in the Jomtien area (intersection of Tappraya and Tepprazit streets). The bus service on this route is provided by Airport Pattaya Bus. Boarding and disembarking from the blue company bus # 389 is carried out near exit # 8, under a canopy. Personally, I used the specified bus in reverse direction, i.e. traveled from Pattaya to the airport: I liked it.

Bus schedule Suvarnabhumi Airport - Pattaya bus company Airport Pattaya Bus - table from the official website of the company (the picture is clickable). The website also states that buses from the airport to Pattaya, departing at 21-00 and at 22-00 arrive at the North Bus Station, and not at the South. The website also lists the ticket price of 120 baht (2018). Previously, the cost was 124 baht and 132 baht (2014-2016). Please note that changes in the schedule are possible (during the low season, instead of 16 flights per day, only 10 flights can be operated, i.e. the interval between flights in both directions increases).

The disadvantage of this method of getting to Pattaya from the airport by bus is the fact that at the time you need, there may be no seats left for the specified bus. You will either have to buy a ticket for the next flight and wait 1-2 hours (depending on the time of day), or use other transport options to Pattaya. For example, you can take a large bus from another company - Bell Travel Service Co. The buses from this company are no less convenient, but in this case you get one big advantage. The price includes delivery not only to (near the intersection of Sukhumvit Highway and North Pattaya), but also delivery by minibus right to the entrance to your hotel.

This is great if you have oversized luggage and already know where you are going to stay in Pattaya. Transfer from a large bus to a minibus is carried out directly at the North Bus Station in Pattaya and you do not need to pay extra. You shouldn't be afraid that due to flight delays or lengthy passport controls, you might miss your bus. The company promises that in this situation, you can easily get to Pattaya on the next next bus from Bangkok Airport to Pattaya.

Unfortunately, the transfer of this company from Suvarnabhumi Airport to Pattaya has become much more expensive in 2019. If earlier the cost of the transfer was 240-280 baht, now you can buy a ticket online for such a bus through 400-420 baht. Maybe it's still a good option if you are traveling alone. But if you have two or three passengers, it is more profitable to book (more on this in the next section) and get to Pattaya faster and more comfortably. If you have not bought your ticket online in advance, you can try to find free seats for the nearest bus to Patatia. To do this, you can contact the representative of the bus company, which is located near the gate number 8 level 1 of Suvarnabhumi Airport.

Currently, the buses of this company leave from Suvarnabhumi Airport from 8-00 am to 18-00 pm, every two hours, i.e. at 08-00, 10-00, 12-00, 14-00, 16-00 and 18:00

Airport level 1 map and bus pick up points to Pattaya

Another way to get from Bangkok Airport to Pattaya is by regular buses departing from the bus terminal, which can be reached from Suvarnabhumi by free airport shuttle bus in 10 minutes. The bus service to Pattaya is carried out by several companies at once, so the cost of one ticket ranges from 106 to 250 baht. The first flight to Pattaya leaves at 06-30 am, and the last one at 21-00. At the same time, cheaper buses with red stripes on the sides will take you to the North or South bus station in Pattaya, and along the way they will make frequent stops, picking up passing passengers. The most expensive buses, for 230-250 baht, will take you directly to the selected hotel (with a transfer to a minibus in Pattaya).

Transfer from Bangkok airports to Pattaya

The easiest and fastest way to get from Suvargabhumi Airport to Pattaya is by car transfer from the airport directly to your hotel door. As a rule, this service can be ordered on the website of many large hotels in which you have booked a room. The cost of such services for hotels of different classes can vary significantly, so you need to clarify in advance. When you ordered a transfer, after all the necessary procedures at the airport, you can see your taxi driver (when leaving the arrival hall (2nd floor of the airport) he should have a sign with your name (surname) in his hands.

You can also always use (link to the Russian-language version of the site), which allows you to pre-order a transfer from Bangkok airport to Pattaya. You will be spared from long negotiations with taxi drivers at the airport, because you will know in advance the cost of the trip between Bangkok and your hotel in Pattaya. Another advantage of this option is a full-fledged 4-seater car with a spacious trunk.

Taxi from Bangkok Airport (Suvarnabhumi) to Pattaya

Due to the fact that buses on the Suvarnabhumi - Pattaya route carry passengers only from 6-30 am to 22-00 pm, tourists arriving at night have to wait for the morning at the airport, spend the night in the capital (article), or get to Pattaya by taxi ... The latter option is most beneficial if you are not going to Pattaya alone, but in a company of 3-4 people. By the way, due to the placement of a gas cylinder in the luggage compartment, some taxi drivers do not take more than 3 passengers with oversized luggage.

The fare from the airport to Pattaya is currently 1000-2500 baht. If you want to get there as cheaply as possible, you should not order a taxi at the counters in the arrivals area (2nd floor), as this is the most expensive option. Go outside on the same floor and negotiate with the taxi driver yourself - a reasonable price in this case is 1000-1500 baht (depending on the time of day and your bargaining ability). The most reasonable option is to go up to the 4th floor of the airport (departure area) and try to catch a taxi at the entrance, which brought tourists from Pattaya. Since long-term taxi parking is prohibited there, the driver will be the most accommodating and the likelihood of leaving for 1000 baht is quite real.

Having decided to take a taxi from the airport to Pattaya, you must either agree on the amount in advance, or go strictly according to the meter. In the first option, you need to immediately stipulate not only the taxi driver's payment for delivery, but also clarify whether the named amount includes payment for toll road(about 100 baht). If you want to use the meter, also ask about paying for toll sections of the road and remind the taxi driver not to “forget” to turn on the taxi meter. Needless to say, a taxi should take you to the door of your chosen hotel.

How to get from Don Muang airport to Pattaya

Despite the fact that Don Muang currently cannot boast of such a passenger traffic as the main airport in Thailand, many tourists arrive in the country precisely through this airport, because you can fly here from neighboring countries... Since there is no direct bus service between this airport, where almost all low-cost airlines (low-cost airlines) arrive and Pattaya, you will either have to take a taxi right away (the scheme is similar to that at Suvarnabhumi airport, only the price is slightly higher), or it is cheap to get there, but with transfers.

First, you can get from Don Muang Airport to the Northern Bus Terminal in Bangkok called Mo Chit. Just do not confuse it with the metro station of the same name, which is about 1.5 km from the bus station. You can get to the station from the airport by bus A1, which can be taken near exit 6. The cost of the trip is a little over 30 baht, just warn the conductor that you need a bus station, because in the absence of passengers at stops, the bus stops only on demand, and the final one is Mo Chit metro station (you need to get off at the bus station earlier). Next, at the ticket office of the station, buy a ticket for the next flight to Pattaya at a price of about 100 baht. Travel time is about 2.5 hours. Buses run on this route from 5-00 in the morning to 19-00 in the evening.

Another option that allows you to inexpensively get from Don Muang Airport to Pattaya is as follows: initially you need to get to the main airport (Suvarnabhumi), and then - in one of the ways described above. The easiest way to travel between airports is the free shuttle bus, which runs from 5:00 am to midnight. Travel time is no more than 40 minutes, while the shuttle bass is equipped with air conditioning. Departure of buses from Don Muang is carried out from the arrivals area, and at the Suvarnabhumi airport the shuttle bus arrives at the departure area. Another option: between the airports there is a bus number 554 and a minibus. The interval of movement is 30 minutes - 1 hour, the fare is from 34 to 40 baht, the travel time is about 50 minutes (the distance between the airports is 50 km).

I hope the information contained in the article has convinced you that get from the airport to Pattaya will not be a problem even for a "beginner" independent traveler with minimal knowledge of English language... If you decide to initially get acquainted with the sights of Bangkok, and only later go to Pattaya, I advise you to read the article, where I described in detail the most convenient and inexpensive options.

Pattaya is a popular seaside resort in Thailand, about 150 kilometers from Bangkok, therefore, when visiting the capital, travelers sometimes wonder how to get from Bangkok to Pattaya on their own in order to spend a few days there.

In fact, quite simple - the Bangkok - Chonburi - Pattaya highway passes through the cities, however, depending on the budget, the desired level of comfort and the duration of the trip, you can choose the route and the desired method of transportation.

Bangkok Airport to Pattaya

Arriving in Bangkok by plane, you can go to Pattaya without leaving the airport in two ways:

By taxi

By bus.

By taxi

To go by taxi, you can use the website kiwitaxi.ru. You just order a transfer in advance via the Internet. Upon arrival, the taxi driver will meet you and take you to the right place to Pattaya.

The cost of the trip is approximately 1,500 baht.

If you order a taxi in the arrivals area on the 2nd floor, the price will fluctuate between 2500-3000 baht, depending on your bargaining ability. You can go down to the first floor to exit # 4. There the price will already be 2500-2000 baht.

Wherever you order a taxi - remember that you need to go by the meter. Or very clearly negotiate the price in advance. In case of divorce, threaten to call the touristic police, while taking a picture of the driver and the car number.

By bus

To buy a bus ticket to Pattaya, you need to go down to the 1st floor (after passing through passport control you will be on the 2nd floor).

Then turn left to exit 8. Before reaching this exit there will be a small open box office. Here you can buy a ticket to Pattaya.

Buses run every hour. But there may not be tickets for the next flight. Be prepared for the fact that you can leave 1-2 hours later. Travel time will be 2-3 hours.

There are two types of tickets:
