Bangkok to Pattaya Destination Reviews

VW
Minivan took us to a Bus station in the west of Bangkok (the opposite direction of the way to Pattaya) where we had to wait for 1 and a half hours for another minivan to pick us up. The Minivan was full. Luckily we only had one big backpack that we had to stuff into it in addition. The driver didn’t drop us off at the bus station in Pattaya as it is stated in the booking but just randomly somewhere on the road in Pattaya. The ride itself was completely fine. All in all it probably would have been cheaper and faster to get a grab ride to the Airport and pick an Express Shuttle to Pattaya from there.

And hour and 15 minutes late. The bus driver shouted at the passengers like it was our fault and I missed my sleep couch and hotel in phuket because of it. Absolute disgrace.

Did not leave me at the hotel as specified in the booking, it was supposed to be hotel transfer. Instead I had to change vans and then was dropped outside town and told to find my way. Pretty shocking experience.

Was nearly 1h 30mins late. No communication about the late arrival of the vehicle. Use it if you have lots of free time. They are not punctual.

The van left much later than expected, and the driver filled the vehicle up so much that the aisle was completely stacked with luggage and carry-ons, making for a very cramped ride.

How to get from Bangkok to Pattaya by van

Vans are a faster alternative to buses; vans usually offer more scheduled departures than buses or other means of transport over the same route; vans may serve the routes not served by buses, trains, or flights. What other reasons do you need to opt for a van? Ah! Very often, they are much more affordable than any other means of transport. Van from Bangkok to Pattaya departs regularly according to the schedule and is a decent option to get to your destination at a reasonable price. Now van tickets can be booked online what makes planning of your trip more convenient. Before you book your van ticket, remember to read other travellers’ reviews on your operator’s service to ensure it meets your expectations.

Currently the following operators can help you to travel from Bangkok to Pattaya by van: .

How far is Bangkok from Pattaya?

Bangkok sits 137 km from Pattaya.

How long does it take to get from Bangkok to Pattaya by van?

Vans cover the distance between Bangkok and Pattaya in 2h 25m – 3h 30m hours. Do note that though vans usually stick to their schedule, your journey can take longer if traffic is excessive or the weather is bad. The worst periods in the sense of violation of the timetable is long weekends, national holidays, school vacations and peak season. With roads stuck with traffic do expect delays. Stormy weather with heavy rains or snowfalls can also cause your arrival time to change. Yet in general you can rely on the timing declared by the operator.

The fastest service on this route is provided by Tawanok Tour (ตะวันออกทัวร์). Tara Tour and Travel (ธาราทัวร์แอนด์ทราเวล)’s vans travel slower than others.

How much does it cost to get from Bangkok to Pattaya by van?

Opposite to, say, buses, normally vans do not offer a great variety in the sense of ticket class hence the price of the ticket is the same for all seats in a van. Note that some seats offer more comfort during the ride. E.g. in some vans the passenger seat by the driver is also available. If you are lucky enough to get it, you may have more space and definitely a better view there. Similarly, in some vans seats in the back row may be a disappointment as they do not recline due to the trunk filled with travellers’ luggage.

To hop onto a van between Bangkok and Pattaya expect to pay from USD 5.78 to USD 13.00. The more convenient the ride, the more you pay – either for extra space or for less stops enroute. Wong Sai Thong Tour (วงศ์ทรายทองทัวร์) is the cheapest operator on the route while Tara Tour and Travel (ธาราทัวร์แอนด์ทราเวล) is the most expensive one.

Travelling by van essentials

  • Ensure to check carefully from where your van departs. In many cases vans are stationed not at the city main bus station but elsewhere. Individual van operators may have their own van stops located anywhere, and one and the same operator may sell tickets to their vans from different stops. If you are planning a bus-van connection, be sure you understand where to catch your van as it is easy to assume that vans leave from the same station where buses arrive. No, it is not necessarily so!
  • There are different types of vans accommodating from 9 to 15 or more passengers. While on certain routes you have no alternative, on others you can choose. The rule of thumb – fewer seats mean more leg space and more comfort. As well as more money for your ticket. But this is probably the case when it is worth investing into your seat a bit more.
  • Vans accommodating more passengers are often cramped and do not provide any additional space for your luggage. In many cases your ticket will include only one piece of luggage, often with limited weight. If you travel with huge suitcases or backpacks you may want – or even need – to buy an extra seat for your luggage. Before booking an extra seat for your luggage though do check with the operator if they allow it. If you did buy a separate seat for your luggage, and the driver during the way tries to pick up an extra passenger to put on a “vacant” seat, insist on right to use it as you paid for it.
  • There are obviously no on board toilets in vans but if your journey lasts over two or three hours there will normally be one or more bathroom stop(s) enroute. During the bathroom stop, take a note of your van number plate when you get off. It will make it easier for you to find the van among similar vehicles and in an unhappy case (hypothetically!) of van leaving without you, you can at least report it to the operator.
  • Van drivers are notorious for their driving style. Though many companies enforce strict speed limits on their vehicles they are often not observed. This is probably a major downside of van travel in some countries. Anyway, if speed limits are violated do not be shy to ask the driver to go slower. Normally there will be an information plate with the telephone numbers to call if your driver violates traffic rules – report each such case without hesitation. Also, do leave your review if not satisfied with the service to warn other travellers.
  • It is compulsory to use belts for all the van passengers. Even if your driver does not insist on it, use the belt for your own safety. Belts are sometimes fixed behind your seat – do not hesitate to release them and use as they are intended to be used.
  • Many vans do not have scheduled departures but depart when full. Sometimes waiting periods can be long, especially if you happen to come immediately after the previous van has departed or just in the end of the day when there are not so many passengers. Always make sure you understand whether your ticket is for a scheduled trip or otherwise. Normally operators who allow online booking of their tickets, provide scheduled service meaning your van will depart on time no matter how many passengers show up for the trip.
