Bell buses look to be good....these details from March 2008....

TAXI......

The taxi fare should be about 1300 - it can be more or less....a friend did it for 1000 a fortnight ago. You can negotiate a little.

Agree on the price BEFORE you set off...they won’t use a meter.

Ask if the price includes motorway tolls - (about 60 to 90 baht) - pay these you if you like at the toll booths.

Taxis are available 24/7

DON"T let a TOUT get you a taxi when you walk out into the arrivals hall.

Get a taxi from a table or kiosk outside.

Taxis are convenient as they take you to your hotel and you don't have to change transport and move luggage on arriving at Pattaya....Bell offer a free shuttle to your hotel...but if you want to save time - use a taxi.

The return fare from Pattaya to Suvarnabhumi Airport is usually less - about 800 baht.....maybe a 1000.

With ALL taxis/limos, check the vehicle...you don't want a very old (15/20yrs) vehicle. The taxis have a sign on the roof saying "TAXI METER" and the limos (official ones) have GREEN number plates.

Anything else is a bit dodgy - take it at your own risk.

Get to Ekkamai Eastern Bus Termanal or Mor Chit Northern Bus Termanal in Bangkok. There are 2 types of bus to Pattaya. One goes direct to Pattaya (Express) and the other goes into the rural town areas. The former is more expensive (only less than 50 bht more) but saves you about 1 hour and the latter cheaper but takes longer. The bus arrives at Pattaya Station on North Pattaya road.From here there are many Songthaew taxi that will take you to where you want to go.The fare to Beach Road is 20 baht for locals but they will charge visitor 40 baht or up to 150 baht. So, please do not get ripped off.
