[artistc]

Hi guys firts time poosting and the first time coming to Pattaya in October. Have been to Bangkok several times. When going to Bangkok I've always caught a cab at the airport with meter and no problems. Is this the best way to Pattaya from Bangkok airport? Any hastles to anticipate and what is the cost? All help is appreciated.:goof:

welcome to the board

taxi is your best bet. Haven't used the new airport but I think the price is around 1300 but I'm sure the other members will comfirm for you.

If you just get a cab at the airport you will likely get ripped off. (Only by a few hundred baht, but its the principle):cowboy:

Also a lot of those guys won't know where the Pattaya hotels are.

There are guys from Pattaya who will meet you if you pre-arrange by email, between 1000 and 1300 b.

If you want some contact details, I can put them up for you.....Jonny maybe a good idea just to pin acouple of email addys for new guys to check out the taxi services?...I'll do it tonight:phone1:


BTW, Welcome to the board, hope you stick around.
