Getting There

The main drawback to Pattaya for the independent traveler is getting there. Pattaya lies about 190 kilometers (120 miles) southeast of Bangkok. Via the new motorway it's less than a two hour drive. Buses leave Bangkok's Eastern Bus Terminal (Skytrain Ekamai station) on a very frequent schedule. You can often get a car service through your hotel if travel by bus doesn't appeal, or you can book a transfer in advance through our partner Viator.

If you really want to travel in style, contact Image Limousine. You won't get a black stretch car, but you will get picked up by a roomy car, or van if requested, in which you'll be greeted by an ice cold bottle of water, the day's newspaper, magazines and other amenities.

Traveling to Pattaya from Bangkok by air is not recommended. The closest airport to Pattaya is the U-Tapao air force base, which also serves as a domestic airport. Its nearly an hour's drive from there to Pattaya. With the time consumed checking in before the flight and collecting your baggage at the end, it's really not recommended if you're already in Bangkok.
