From Bangkok To Pattaya - By Bus/Train

The journey by bus from Bangkok to Pattaya takes about two hours. By bus directly from the new Suvarnabhumi airport Pattaya can be as little as an hour. There are two main departure points in Bangkok with the Eastern Bus terminal being the main one. This is conveniently accessible via the Asok BTS �skytain� station along Sukhumwit road, and buses to Pattaya depart at least every half hour. From the busier Northern Terminal at Mo Chit, which is a bit more difficult to get to, there a buses almost every hour to Pattaya.


For private departures, usually minibuses can be arranged from your hotel and also the Khao San road area, with personal pickup. There are also private minibuses departing from the Victory Monument Area (on BTS line), behind the food court. These are more comfortable and quicker, usually leaving when full. When returning to Bangkok it is advisable to have a travel agent arrange a ticket for you or arrive at the Bus Terminal early to ensure you get a seat, as the route is popular and buses from Pattaya get busy. If you going onwards to Koh Samet or Koh Chang, or arriving from either of those you will have to make a connecting change in Chon Buri.
