Bangkok to Pattaya Destination Reviews

PL
The bus seats are in poor condition. The armrests and seatbelts don't work.

Nice. I was 1 hour early at the station. I could leave after 15 minutes. That was nice. The seats are too small for me. I felt uncomfortabel to touch my neighbour. I could not place my feet because of the luggage under the seat.

I am at my destination, thanks! But… we were waiting 1 hour, nobody coordinate us, we used to run to cashiers and ask. When bus arrived passengers for next bus decided that is their bus and boarded, driver didn’t check tickets. After we lot our seats the driver started took out the passengers with tickets on next bus))) Imagine: you have ticket on 13:00, you boarded on right lane on Pattaya bus, and driver took you out))) Estimated arrival time was 13:45, actually we arrived at 15:45 .3707202086729E+24;

Its very difficult to find the Busses, for a foreigner. Its will be a big advantage to install the right signs in english outside at the mainroad.

Is it safe to wear shorts in Pattaya?

Yes, wearing shorts in Pattaya is perfectly safe and culturally acceptable, as the city is a major tourist hub with a warm climate. Lightweight, casual attire is common due to temperatures often exceeding 30°C. Visitors in shorts are seen everywhere, from beaches to markets and casual restaurants. However, if visiting religious sites, it’s advisable to dress more modestly, covering knees and shoulders to show respect.
Tip: Opt for breathable fabrics to stay comfortable in the heat, and consider carrying a light scarf or shawl for temples.

A taxi ride from Bangkok to Pattaya typically takes about 1.5 to 2.5 hours, depending on traffic and the starting point in Bangkok.

For convenience, most travelers hire taxis from Suvarnabhumi Airport or downtown Bangkok. Prices range from 1,000 to 1,500 THB, with private car services costing slightly more.
  • Tip: Agree on a fare or use a metered taxi to avoid overcharging.
  • Plan travel during non-peak hours for a faster trip.
  • Ensure the driver is familiar with Pattaya's layout to reach your destination smoothly.
Traveling early morning or late evening often avoids traffic delays.

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.
