Jaimie it looks so inviting on the map, but it fucking sucks. If you don't have a group to share the costs of taxiing all the way, just fly. Save money elsewhere. If you want to get to Pats the same day, stay in PP, grab the early AAsia flight to DMK, take the 30 baht A1 or A2 bus outside the terminal to Mo Chit BTS, get off at Ekkamai, & the bus station will be on the L side of the street relative to the direction you're moving. Buses leave every 30 mins. You could also stay on the A1 & it'll take you to the Mo Chit bus station (which isn't close to the BTS) and you can grab a bus to Pattaya there but I don't think they run as often as Ekkamai. The A1 & A2 run pretty often, but if you want a cab, go upstairs to Departures, it'll save you 50 baht & you won't have to wait in the taxi queue. Maybe 140B to Mo Chit which is more than the bus to Pats. 2 -2.5 hrs that time of day.

Stroppy, I just paid $90 RT all in including 200B for seat selection. Usually, you have to book > 5 weeks out for a good price. Close in you're better off on BKK Air especially to PTY since you fly into BKK.

Good to know WJ, thanks

you can get a cab from "Mochit" bus station to the BTW for 50 baht. Or a goodly walk across that honkin big park will put ya there.

...... yeah or just stay on the A1.

BTW, $90 was a sale price. Normal price 6 weeks out would be $120-130 all in.

its $93 inc all charges, plus the hassle of getting from don muang to pattaya also,
my mate did it recently he got a taxi to the border then a bus from there, might find out how that went, im sure he said next time he would probs get a bus to the border then a taxi to pattaya

my mate said it took, 4 hours to get to the border, and another 5-6hours to get to pattaya taxi to the border was $50 and the minivan on the other side cost 700baht
going to have a chat about busses later at one of the offices
