Re: Pattaya
 

To me, that timing rocks! i just took that flight on last sunday.. once i reach pattaya south where my hotel is.. Its only 10min walk to walking street.. Landed and reach pattaya south in 30 to 40mins, timing just right to party!

Re: Pattaya
 

bro, how did u get to pattaya south at that timing?

crane minivan still got operate that late?
or u pre-arranged for taxi pickup? for what price?
it's a military airport with guards at the gates outside, still got taxis waiting for arrivals ah?

Re: Pattaya
 

erm... taxi 2500thb from suvernabhumi to pattaya is a carrothead price, honestly.
i've been quoted 1000-1500thb at different timings, even 800thb once.
even if got money to spend, also no need to waste it on taxi drivers mah :o
1000thb can go enjoy ST at soi 6 in a leisurely afternoon liaoz :D

Re: Pattaya
 

Well said..... just because a guy has deep pockets doesn't mean he has to spoil the market for others. :)

Re: Pattaya
 

Bell bus direct from Swampy to Patts is only 250b.
Swampy to Ekkamai bus station to Patts is 42+32+134 = 208b.
Swampy to Victory Monument van service to Patts is 42+38+97 = 177b.
I am Ngeow Chee Ngeow Lan traveler..... if you have other cheaper ways to get to Patts from Swampy please do tell :D

Re: Pattaya
 

Hear hear I agree wholeheartedly.
I was just sharing my experience....if incorrect info no problem I stand corrected.
Even if agree to be called a carrothead.....there's no need for the bro to name call me a fool.....and to swallow my pride.....note that he even said he was being helpful to me.
Like I said we dun know each other it's anonymous here.....there's no pride or ego to speak of. Well maybe some people just eager to show off their knowledge.

Re: Pattaya
 

How about public buses?
Or the mrt airport link?
If you book a hotel with transfer its free!
Hey it helps to be innovative...I did all that when I was younger and backpacking

Re: Pattaya
 

Sorry bro I dun have deep pockets but I'm accustom to tipping culture which I find quite rare in Asia. Tipping rewards good service.
Ok anyway let's close this chapter on swampy to patts cab fare.
As the public consensus goes it's thb 1000-1500.
If any bro paid 2500 based on my wrong info then feel free to contact me.....ill buy him a steak dinner at gullivers followed by 3 rounds in nana.....3 rounds of his favourite house pour I mean....I dun treat bros to whores.....I'm pantang

Re: Pattaya
 

Everyone hides behind the computer with ego and pride much higher than in real world. Whether rich or poor, we dunno. Just take them as entertainment.

Been to States and Europe, I have no chance to tips 1000thb for a normal service of 1500thb and have not seen my local friend or business partner doing this. We are considered stingy group of ppl.

Move on with this.

I know quite a lot of samsters got out of Pattaya after their celebration....Lets wait for the FR.

Re: Pattaya
 

1. Suvarnabhumi Airport to Pattaya Tai, 134 thb and drop where convenient and close to your hotel along the way

2. For 2500 thb one way (add in cab fare Patts to airport), rent a car from Survanabhumi Airport for 5 days, inclusive of petrol.

Re: Pattaya
 

ok... skip this BKK to Patts discussion. Thread owner recommend Airasia direct to U tapao. Anyway nice info you have there!

Re: Pattaya
 

TS is night rider la.. Sure he like it la.. I rather check in my e-scooter to swampy n slowly ride to Pattaya!! Cheapest right!!!:D

Re: Pattaya
 

Unfortunately most airlines NO NOT allow any e-transportation on board..... even as checked in baggage. So no e-scooter, hoverboards or any battery operated mobility devices.... unless you send them over by courier. :)

Re: Pattaya
 

if travelling light, can just take the Roong Reuang Coach. the counter is just next to the Bell minivan one.

130thb iirc, thought the website says 120thb.
can opt to drop off at pattaya north, pattaya central or pattaya south.
then take a motorbike taxi to your hotel.
if got luggage then use Bell more convenient, transfer from coach to minivan at pattaya north, go right up to your hotel.
