You can go to bus station by sky train from Ekkamai, and then find a air conditioned bus to Pattaya. If you are on a tight budget that can save you 700 800 THB.

No flaming but if one is in need of saving two times 700 baht because if tight budget I would question the whole trip.

Something is commuting more than one time every week and something is a return trip to Pattaya on a vacation trip.

Or saving 1000baht a night in a hotel.

I don't mean to waste the money, but I don't think 1200x2 taxi money is a killer fir individual transportation!

Anyhow just my opinion and each one his own

I have RTFF and see that you can catch a taxi from Bangkok to Pattaya for around 1, 000 baht, but does anyone have suggestions exactly where to catch taxis in Bangkok near Suk and in Pattaya that will make the drive for you.

The last few times I was in Bangkok I grabbed a taxi from the street either moving or parked. Two charged 1000, one charged 1500. I took that 1500 baht taxi because I was in a hurry. I didn't negotiate with any of them.

One thousand US dollars, they had a "little" premium.

Baht, indeed. Prolly a grand, US, on girls, though. Money well spent!

I have booked with Mr T on several occasions from the Airport to Pattaya and Pattaya to BKK.

Never had any issues. Always timely and no up-sell.

I always pay 1000bt from the airport to Patts inc tolls. Can't recall how much the Patts to BKK trip was, but doubt it was much more than 1000. 1200bt.

Have also used.

Again, no complaints and the fair was pretty much the same as Mr. T

I always prefer to have arranged my airport pick-up before hand. After a 14hr flight, I don't want to haggle with touts and drivers. Just look for your name and relax.

Just stop and ask any taxi on the street like sukh road. On some sukh sois some drivers have been standing and asking me "where are you going sir, airport? Pattaya?" so you can just negotiate a price (pattaya tow ry, ning pan ok? or something like that in thai).

But next time I might just get a shared minivan for 150 thb. There are booths that are selling tickets to these daily minivans to pattaya. Prices outside are often quoted in thai, I think that transportation is directed at locals, thats why you dont pay a tourist price, only 150 baht to pattaya and same price back. Sometimes if lucky you end up sitting next to a young thai girl in the back seat

I had good luck finding a taxi by going upstairs, outside at the departures drop-off. Think I paid $1000 back in early December.

Several taxi services are mentioned here: http://www.internationalsexguide.inf...=1#post1017985

You should try to contact them as I am pretty sure that most of them can pick you up at your hotel if you wish.

It is very easy to get a taxi from Pattaya to Bangkok. All the small shacks on the street offering tourist services will offer transportation from Pattaya to the airport or Bangkok.

The price for a meter taxi will be 800 plus 2 tolls (60 or 70 total) to the airport; it was approx 900 something baht to Bangkok (half an hour extra to Sukhumvit). The camry option will be a little more expensive; the camry will be slightly larger.

I would recommend the tourist agency shack in front of the LEK hotel. They haven't screwed me yet; also because that one has high volume, they will sometimes give you a camry when you order a meter taxi. Other ones might say that you have to pay for a camry because all the meter taxis are gone. Probably should arrange for the taxi the previous night.

Getting a taxi from Bangkok Sukhumvit to Pattaya is slightly more trickier. The hotel can get you a taxi, but they probably will add a hefty premium.

I would just negotiate with any meter taxi on the street. Just say,"Pattaya; 1000 baht; you pay the toll" (Wondering how hard it is to get that price; you can get the taxi for 1000 from the airport, but Sukhumvit is about 30 or 40 minutes further away). There will be at least 2 tolls to Pattaya (60 or 70 total) ; from Sukhumvit, you can take 2 extra tolls to save a few minutes, but I would just go south on Sukhumvit to avoid those 2 extra tolls (taxi will definitely do this if you negotiate that he pays for the toll).

Note that the meter taxis has LNG; they won't have much trunk space due to the LNG tank.

In BKK maybe you want to ask to your hotel. If you have one.

Thanks andMr. E and Greenbud on the subject. I think I remember the trucks trecking around around announcing kickboxing but not sure. Mr. E, I will be in Pattaya may 17. Would love to meet up with a vet for a night or 2. First rounds on me of course.

Hope it isn't too late!

The matches are help by Fairtex at the Fairtex Boxing Stadium, off Therrapsin Road. Soi 2, There are matches going on now in May but I'm not sure of the exact dates. I have seen something like Wednesday nights and something about a big match Sunday May 9th?

You might want to google Fairtex in Pattaya, they have a sport club just off the Dolphin circle on Pattaya Nua next to the Moon River club? You should be able to obtain the correct information from them.

Good luck, LBM

Dam, when I was at DD's in Sept. The owner told me about this service but was charging 12, 000 Baght. This included having the 2 girls for the night not just for the transportation to Pattaya.

Maybe one more example of what devils den say they would charge and what they charge indeed.

This makes me feel more that this overcharging comes from the owners
