- Travel from BKK Suvarnabhumi airport to Pattaya for less than $10.
I think this is the best way due to price. If you take the plane route you will still have to find a ride to your hotel.
Sorry for the poor camera work. This is my first TH-cam video.
Please comment and let me know how I did and where I can improve.
Also include how you would get to Pattaya from BKK.
My overall mission is to use my videos to show people the world.
Hopefully this will help travelers along the way to find affordable accommodations.
And LIKE, SHARE, SUBSCRIBE. I will be posting more videos about every other week.
Wasn't aware of the hotel drop off. I was just going to hail a cab. Great info. Now I'll make sure to get the hotel drop off included for the 100 baht. Thanks.
Great work and smart effort brother .am going tomorrow and this vedio help me a lot ❤
I don't know why you don't have more views.This information is good 👍.
Thank you Jim. No worries. Stay tuned as I am still putting more videos together. Safe travels.
Nice! Very informational.
Thanks!
i just did this 3 days ago, with a transfer to my hotel, great stress free mode of transpertation. However the bus ride was pretty rough, almost rear ended a truck that pulled in font of us. All in all, it was good
Glade you made it safe. As for the bus ride sometimes you get good smooth drivers and other times you get lead foots or not so good drivers. Still in my opinion it is the best and conveniently affordable way and takes the hassle out of hailing a taxi or riding the baht bus (pick up trucks). And the time you have before boarding the bus can be used to go purchase some snacks or food while you wait. Safe travels my friend.
Thanks for this video and also showing the South Pattaya bus station and mini bus to hotels. So when you paid the extra 100thb at the airport counter is that when you give your hotel info and they relay that to the mini bus driver in Pattaya? Our group of 4 will have med to large check in size luggage and backpacks or totes as a personal item, so I can see where this full size bus is a better option plus it has an onboard toilet, in case. Hopefully the earlier buses like 7 or 8:00 am won't be as crowded. our flight arrives at 5:00 am.
Yes you provide the hotel name and how many passengers at the ticket counter during your purchase. When you arrive at the bus terminal in Pattaya you will see your hotel on a board with number of passengers.
The price is generally around 140-150 Thai Baht from Suvarnabhumi airport to Pattaya.
Are you talking before COVID or after? I remember before COVID it was.
Bus is cheap.then go out onto main highway flag a baht bus down.10 baht.job done.under 200 baht the lot.
Yes Steve, you are correct and can go out to the street and hail a cab. That’s the thing though. Sometimes you will be waiting for a bit depending on when you arrive Sat the bus terminal. I’ve spent some time trying to hail a cab in Bangkok and Pattaya. While some get lucky and get one immediately others may have a hard time hailing one. When we made the decision to go with the bus and pay the extra 100 we were looking for cheap and convenient. If I had it my way we would have taken the private car. But the wife wanted the experience of riding the bus so we did just that. Safe travels my friend.
Good info bro. BKK to Pattaya 143 BHT = USD $ 8
Thanks bud. I will be adding more videos. Just don’t have time right now with my W2 obligations. Stay tuned.
4$ bro.
Thank you, brother, for the excellent information. I am currently in Krabi and tomorrow I will go to Pattaya😘🌹🫡😘👏🏻
Done it earlier this year 1100TB for two people in a Toyota Fortuna ( SUV) 1hr 10 mins to Pattaya central , time is money 😂😂😂
I would love to take the private car route for convenience. But the wife just wanted to experience it. She has never rode a bus in Thailand. So I obliged her. Safe travels my friend.
Yep super convenient and quick
My friend if go through mini bus 15 seater how much it cost?
I’m not sure but average price for private taxi would be around 1000-1300 baht. Last time I did that was a private minibus and if my memory serves me correctly it was around 1000 baht. But that was several years ago. I will have to get back to you on that. I like have the convenience of the restroom just in case I need it. I would have to direct you to one of the booths outside at the airport. There’s also private electric vehicles (EV) for over 2000 baht.
Please let me know the cost when you find out. I am due to make the same trip in a few months and will update my post or do a new video.
@phonsavanhtravel okay friend let wait your new video
Was there a toilet on the bus?
Yes the bus we rode from BKK to Pattaya was newer and had a nice restroom in the back. The bus back from Pattaya to Ekaimai bus terminal of BKK was older and the restroom was not as nice. So it depends on which bus arrive at the airport.
The final stop is north Pattaya?
Yes my stop was north Pattaya.
@@phonsavanhtravel How far south does the bus go
There are buses go all the way to Jomtien (southern stop). Make sure you tell the counter when buying your ticket so you get on the correct bus.
The bus ticket u paid includes that van fare? Or u paid again on that van?
Yes. The cost to get from BKK to Pattaya was 200 baht. We paid an extra 100 baht at the booth for the shuttle to get to our hotel. It was more convenient to just do that than try to hail a taxi.
@@phonsavanhtravel thank u . Its a big help :)
@@lolangtamad8591 you’re welcome. Enjoy beautiful Pattaya and definitely have the fresh seafood. Safe travels!
Yes, 100Baht is cheap for Pattaya.
In February I paid 300 Baht for a taxi ride from T21 to the train station.
When I showed the driver the official price list that he had in his car (may be 60 Baht) he only laughed.
That is correct. And very well worth the convenience. No hassle of trying to hail a taxi. And or riding the baht bus especially if you’re there during the hotter seasons.
Hi... 300 baht for 1 person or two person ?
Hi. It’s per person. Safe travels.
can get a private taxi for 1100 baht door to door
My wife just wanted to try the bus. Even after I said let’s take a private car. Crazy right?! They always say “happy wife happy life”. Plus it gave me the opportunity to make the video. Safe travel my friend.
I was quoted anywhere between 1600-2000 baht by taxi drivers. I took Bell Transport 350 baht from Bkk airport to my hotel in Pattaya.
About $10 US ....not inconvenient at all
Good info. But if you have to find cheap ways to get to Pattaya you can't afford to go there. Besides that, it will only take you to Pattaya bus station and you will have to get a very pricy cab to take you to your hotel once there. By the time you mess about just take a cab from the airport.
Thanks for your comment and you’re partially correct. This video will definitely backpackers and first time travelers or travelers on a budget. As frequent travels we are always looking for more ways to save money and pass the informant ion along to new travelers and those that need to know. If you know of any other way to save money please pass it along to assist future travelers. Safe travels.
So you take a busride with departure time delayed several hours, moving over into a van, costing 300 per head to avoid getting into a taxi that would cost you maybe 1500, and then you go stay in the Hilton. In what world does that make any sense.
Sounds crazy right?! I looked at all modes of transportation from Luang Prabang, Laos to Pattaya earliest flight would get me into Pattaya at 1800 and wife wanted to experience the bus ride. I wanted her in a private car but she said no so that’s what we did. I told her she would have to vehicle hop but she was adamant about the bus and you know (happy wife happy life) and I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to make this video. As for the Hilton I used my Hilton honors points for our stay. Safe Travels!
Nothing new… already dozen of videos about this
200 Thai bath is $5.80 which is a lot less than $10.00. You need to get your info more close to actual info otherwise you'll not grow your channel.
Thank you for your comment Dan. I love the engagement as it sparks debate. You are correct it is less than $10. When we were there the exchange rate was 32.65 to $1 US dollar. We paid an extra 100 baht for the shuttle to the hotel. So 300 baht came out to $9.18 cents so it’s less than $10. Safe travels.
The question is how to tell legit from a scam
Please elaborate on your question. What do you mean legit from scam? Are you referring to the bus ride?
@@phonsavanhtravel it's a long questions / statement mainly I was referring to prices
@@phonsavanhtravel you have some Transportation stands bus ticket that's what I mean by telling the difference between legit and scam stands there are a scam that somehow sit inside a legitimate establishment such as the airport then you have legit stands that will forward you to a scam bus price and then you have scam prices where the bus drivers ask for extra money then again you have those bus drivers where you pay at a legitimate ticket stand and still won't allow you to get on that's what I mean by telling the difference between legit and scam
@@phonsavanhtravel like money exchange stands you may walk into a legit correct exchange rate or a scam exchange rates inside the airport or outside the airport
I think I understand what you’re referring to. Yes, scams are all over regardless of where you go in this world. Just have to do your research. But Thailand has really ramped up the regulation to protect tourists. As for the booths in the airport that booth is legit. And the bus company that partner with them along with price is fair. The taxi are a different story. I always ask for the meter. Feel free to ask any questions you may have. If I don’t have the answer I will definitely try and find it to put your kind at ease. I have family in that part of the world and have the need to visit them regularly. Stay safe and safe travels.
