Bus from Bangkok BKK airport questions
Searched for answers to this, but didn't see any.
I am arriving BKK about 830pm next Tuesday and hope to catch a bus to Pattaya.
The airportpattayabus. Com website shows a 10pm bus departure that goes to Pattaya Bus Terminal on North Pattaya Road.
Have any of you taken this bus service?
Should the Pattaya bus station be safe at midnight?
Taxis or tuk-tuks available there for ride to entrance of Walking St?
I have always taken the Bell Travel bus on previous trips but they don't have a late one.
I have taken other buses around Thailand and service was fine, just wondering about this one.
Thanks in advance. Sure will be good to be back in Pattaya.
Better to change money in Bangkok?
Need a little advice from the experts here. I will be coming to Pattaya but will be spending a couple of days in Bangkok first. I don't remember seeing too many money changers in Pattaya however they are everywhere in Bangkok. I am bring US$ and is just wondering if it would be better for me to change the money in Bangkok and bring it with me to Pattaya? Are the exchange rate the same in Bangkok and Pattaya? Thanks
First night back in Pattaya
Got in from Jakarta, landed at 4:20pm. Went straight to the bus counter on the 1st floor. I caught the 5pm bus to Pattaya for 134 baht. Arrived at the bus station (a strip mall parking lot) at 7pm. Took taxi / baht bus to my hotel. 50 baht. Check in, clean up, run some errands and it's of to the beach. Met a 29 year old, tall, wide hips. She asked for 800 baht. We settled at 700 baht. In the room, shoot the photos, clean up, good service, she warmed up even more in the sack. Gave her 20 baht for baht bus and off she went. I did notice that the beach strip had new light poles put up and that some of the palm trees were removed. It is much brighter then my last visit five weeks ago. Looks like the city is trying to clean up that area. I fear the new developments might drive away some of the freelance girls. I also noticed that a lot of freelancers were starting off at 700 baht and not the usual 500 baht. I even ran across two girls that wanted 1000 baht. All price quoted were for short time. I usually get them down to 500. I know, my first girl, I did not. Oh yeah, while I was in Jakarta, Indonesia, I couldn't get onto the ISG website. A "this site is Broken" page would come up. I had internet access. And the very first time I logged onto ISG in Pattaya. No problem. What should I expect from a Muslim country.
