Bangkok to Pattaya Destination Reviews

MP
Normal service. Took a bit more than 3 hours due to traffic. No dedicated spaces for backpacks but we were lucky to have the last row which has enough space at the feet. We checked-in 2h before planned departure time (transfer was early), and waited only 1h for the next minivan.

Bus left an hour late. Was the most bumpy ride of my life awful. Felt like the bus was going to fall apart

Only 2 bags allowed. Had to pay for extra but we'll worth the value for a ride from Bangkok to Pattaya.

The bud didn’t run on time. We ended up like two hours too late. The bus also didn’t leave us at Bali Hai Pier. The employe at desk wasn’t the nicest to deal with.

I ended up having to pay for Covid insurance. I do not remember clicking that option so must’ve been one of those ones that automatically added.

We were prepared for the van to be late leaving (and it was, by over an hour). Staff at the bus station were mostly rude, and there was zero communication. The ride is definitely not the 2 hours advertised - 3 minimum, and ours was closer to 3.5, with a number of drop off. No room for luggage, and while the van did have AC, it seemed like the driver turned it off (or it was overwhelmed by the number of sweaty bodies). All in all, a bit of a slog.

On time and very fast.

Very good.

The van stopped no less than 13 times to pick up passengers and drop off passengers and packages. It was 1 1/2 hour late arriving in Pattaya. Next time we will take the bus that doesn't make all of the stops.

Train

Train is a often a great choice for long-haul travel especially if you opt for a night sleeper train with berths which will allow you to sleep all your journey through. To make the most of your train journey, choose the class of your ticket wisely.

Note that there are air-conditioned and fan-only carriages; private compartments for 2 or 4; hard and soft seats.
Though the upper class you get the smoother is your journey, often second class air-conditioned or fan-only sleepers are a good money saving alternative.

Van

Vans are a great alternative - or, in many cases - your only option - if you need to travel overland within one and the same province or neighbouring provinces or states. Vans ply the roads between Bangkok and Pattaya, too.

Things to remember: When travelling by van with huge luggage buying a separate seat for your suitcase or backpack is a good idea. Do not expect there is a roomy luggage compartment in a van - there is actually none and your fellow passengers are unlikely to appreciate your luggage stuck under their feet, alas.
