New bus route to and from Airport

 

We all know that it is relatively expensive to get to the new airport from Pattaya.

 

One has to rely in the main on taxis, which regardless of how honest some drivers are you will still occur a hefty fee of around 1,000 baht each way. Others naively fall victim to unscrupulous shysters who will try to overcharge and if one does not have any other option one accepts with gritted teeth.

 

Now, a new service has appeared for everyone wishing to travel via Pattaya and new airport. Khun Khumron Thongsuwan, manager of the Rungueang Bus Company announced on the 14th July about the operation of a new regular bus service from Jomtien to the Suvarnabhumi Airport. This new route will serve everyone from its Pattaya/Jomtien base at the forecourt opposite the Pan Pan Restaurant on Thappraya Road. It will operate 4 buses offering a daily service leaving every 2 hours from 8am to 9pm at a cost of 124 baht per person. The last bus service to Pattaya from Suvarnabhumi bus terminal will be at 9pm. Read the next issue of Pattaya People Weekly for more information on this excellent new service.

Looks a good service

 

But

 

I think I'll continue using taxi's to get me from my hotel in Pattaya to airport. I like being picked up at the hotel and being able to put my luggage in the boot of the car and then just sit back and relax all the way to the airport.

When I took the Bell Travel Service bus in November 2008 this is what we rode on:

Roong Reuang Coach Co. which seems to be the same name. Are they the same? The service was excellent.

Where abouts do board this bus at the airport,is it the same as the bell bus service.My flight arrives 7.00pm so 9.oopm bus would be ideal to get to Pttaya

That is great news to have a bus to/from the airport right next to and within short walking distance View Talay 1 and View Talay 5. I like that there is a late 9pm bus.
