Only if you want to pay well over the odds. I've never understood why people feel the need to book in advance unless there's a pile of them and they need a minibus as there are plenty of taxis waiting at the airport night and day. If people prefer to pre-book thats up to them but there are plenty of options a damn side more competitively priced than those soi 14 ripoff merchants.

If you're considering the penthouse option make sure you're mainlining scotch from the moment your plane takes off, that way you may actually have beer goggles on thick enough that the 2 'kittens' accompanying you might look half decent.

Alternative to the scotch would be 2 paper bags.

or if you are economising one paper bag

A warning of a section of the Bell Bus Service. Last year a friend of mine was staying at The Nana Hotel BKK and I met up with him ready for our playtime in Pattaya. It was our intention to catch the normal bus to Pattaya and when I arrived at the Hotel he had booked us on a mini bus service at the hotels booking station out the front of the hotel.

Mini bus arrives and off we go, to what seemed to be every hotel in BKK to pick up other passengers. When the mini bus was finally full and I mean full the driver speed down the motorway finally reaching the Bell Bus Depot. Crazy drive and if we had have had an accident we were all goners.

Into a Bell bus and off to Pattaya, no, next stop the Airport to pick up the arrivals. Then off to Pattaya yes at last.

So the trip was more expensive than the normal bus service, far less comfortable at least the first part of the journey, took about an hour longer and the only plus was when we arrived at Pattaya there were mini buses there to take us to our hotel.

From BKK go by the normal bus service, don’t be fooled into any mini bus services as you could be in for a long and uncomfortable tiki tour.

I used Limo Pattaya...1200 b all up, brand new toyota, good driver, waiting where he said he'd be.
FWIW, only 3 people in the queue at immi., bags arrived within 10 mins, golf bag was already there before the suitcase came down the carousel.

Theres a new bus service operating...Roong Reang or summat, I'll check the name...124 baht, pick up / drop off is at the Fair Properties office on Threppaya...very comfortable bus, heaps of leg room, service is every two hours, last bus is 9 or 10 pm. Perfect if you're staying at Jomtien or Pratumnak.

I still rate Mr Toom despite a couple of reports early on in this thread. He has never let me down and I've had no problem with responses to emails, phone calls. All of his drivers have been careful, courteous and know where they're going...last 2 times I've had very cute young lady drivers ! He provided an excellent last-minute service during both the 2006 coup and 2008's airport closure with some good advice thrown in for free.
