Re: Bangkok to Pattaya, how does one get there?
Was there in February 2023.
Grab is good for local travel.
There are buses and they are very cheap. But now they wait until the bus is full which could mean waiting couple of hours.
(I know a local chick that caught a bus last month, had to wait 4 hours)
In my opinion if you are worried about saving 50 bucks on a taxi for a 2 hour journey, A holiday in Pattaya might not be the that fun for you. That’s just my opinion.
Best option is to book a taxi service before hand. If you google it you will find a few of them. Nam’s taxi is one popular one.
It will cost around THB1200.
Download the Line App. Send them a msg and they will provide all the info. There will be someone waiting at the airport with sign, with your name on it. They will take you to your taxi.
Basically the driver with a private car can do the trip for much cheaper than a registered taxi, but their English isn’t so great. So there are middle men (or women like Nam) that take a cut to take bookings on behalf of the drivers. Driver takes you from Bkk to Pattaya. Gets another going to Bkk or stays there and works grab for day or two.
If you find a driver that can speak a little English, (or have someone who can speak Thai, like I had) you can get his Line and book him directly next time, this will save you couple of hundred Bath. Again not really worth that much to you but if you like the driver and the vehicle you can do it, still pay him the same and he gets little extra money in his pocket.

Re: Bangkok to Pattaya, how does one get there?
My new Thai girlfriend said "A small penis shouldn't be a problem in a loving relationship."
I still wish she didn't have one.
