Most of the posts on here seem a bit dated, so I am fishing for some updated information. I plan to use the trains for my travel to Chiang Mai and Ubon Ratchathani, but there are no trains that go direct to Pattaya. After a few days in Bangkok I need to get to Pattaya and then return to Bangkok to catch the train north. This seems more like an adventure quest than a mongering tour I know. To get to the point, I am looking for info on the best way, other than air to get to and from Pattaya. I have heard about the Blue Bus from Bell travel service. Is that the best way or is there better options?
