Help Needed With Travel Times!

[zoe]

yo, boys.

I arrive BKK 1230am. I need to find a hotel for one night there before I fly to Pattaya the next day. How long is the flight from BKK to Pattaya?

Then a few days stick dippin in Pattaya, then off to Phuket. How should I get to Phuket, air, bus?

Then I leave BKK at 6am. Shoot, way too short, 10 days. Oh well, I'll make the best of it.

ANy advice? THnaks.

Fly to Pattaya??? Jump in a taxi its only a few hours drive

I will take the taxi option in November , roughly 2 hrs on the toll rd route & should cost you 1000 - 1500 bht.

On return i will get a taxi back to Bangkok & fly to phuket from there , either booking in advance by phone or turning up on the day & trying my luck at the Domestic terminal (go business class if i have to)

You can go from Pattaya airport in Bangkok Air but i read already that its a fair drive to that anyway.

Probably just as easy to go via the bangkok route.

Ok. So i should stay maybe first two nights in BK. Then go to Pattaya by bus, then fly to Phuket, then fly to BK? Is that right? I don't know the distances and travel times or conditions. Two hours from BK to Pattaya seems long, esp when I have only a few days. Any other faster way to get around.

Gee, I'm confused. Help

You better use a map - to get "un"confused - you could try
www.mapquest.com to get a better understanding of distances and geografical places.

2 hours from bkk to pattaya is no big deal. Just leave late morning and get down there around midday to check into hotel and have a look around.
everything takes time in thailand - It will take you 45 minutes + just to get from phuket airport to patong beach.
Maybe if you want to save time you could try getting a taxi from bkk to pattaya hotel to hotel. that will save on having to get to the bus station and catch a bus which shouldnt take more than 30-60 mins from most places in bkk. taxi will be more expensive at approx 1500 baht as opposed to approx 90 by bus, and allow a little for skytrain or taxi in bkk to bus station and 20 baht when you arrive in pattaya for baht bus.

Pattaya to phuket by air would be good. I recently went from pattaya to phuket, by catching the bus back to bkk and flying down to phuket. left hotel pattaya 11am, arrive patong beach hotel about 5:30pm. that was with smooth connections and no waiting around. if pressed for time better to fly direct.

hardly anyone flies to pattaya from bangkok , its only 150 kms approx. hardly worth putting an aircraft in the air. also i understand the airport at pattaya is some distance from the town itself.

Get a taxi from BK to Pattaya,set the price,dont pay more than 1500 baht

Taxi is the best choice. or mini van if you were in group.

We took a bus to Pattaya from BBK, only about 90 TB for the trip

Blue Busses are good with aircon and layback seats

I can reconmend the Eastiny hotel in Soi 7, right in the middle of everything
