i was just wondering if there are any direct buses from bangkok airport to pattaya and if so what times do they run at and how much are they?

easy answer to that .. book a bell bus, cheap, simple, good service ..

Guess you mean where is the Bell Bus service office in Pattaya?

 

Its at Pattaya Nua (north) bus station, on the right opposite the shop.

also they run buses to Pattaya from the 1 st floor at the far end of the airport. 120 baht runs every hour, not sure the company name or when they start or ends.

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't believe that Roong Reuang Coach provides the transfer from their bus terminal to most hotels, whereas Bell Bus Services includes that in the price as well.

 

Also, supposedly, the return to BKK from Pattaya service also includes picking you up at most hotels as well.

(I was going to use the service from BKK to Pattaya my last trip but I got through immigration too late and missed the bus. Also, they were going to be able to take me to the Class Rooms (Classroom1 hotel) so they don't just go to major hotels.)

You a right, the busses to Jomtien stopping on Sukhumvit Rd. do not provide transport to the hotels.

 

But if you are going anywhere near the beach, get out at North Pattaya Rd., walk to the Bangkok Busstation (where Bell Travel busses stop) and take the share Song Thaew for 20B to the beach.

This may help.

Update, Just had a look at Bell Travel Service website...they have stopped their route from Pattaya/Jomtien hotel to Bangkok City Hotel-both ways due to current situation...

 

I had a trip booked in Sept. hopefully they will have it up and running again..

 

Hopefully...

Nice try, but you've failed the Turing Test. Better luck next year.

 

Peace.

Why not post you flight details and ask if there's anyone arriving on the same flight and then share a taxi.

Less hassle and more shagging time especially if your flight lands in the evening.

But for the money its a taxi every time for me, just used Mr T's taxi service which has been recommended several times on here. We got a massive Toyota 4X4 for just the two of us. 1000 Bht to Patts and 900Bht return. Absolutely first class service, both through the booking and collection.

Enjoy your stay mate and please post you trip report.

Yes a good idea, a Pal of mine always asks along the guys who get off the plane for anyone wanting to share a Cab to Pattaya and every time he gets a half or 1 third fare with others.
