camerashy Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Hi guys, can anyone tell me the earliest starting times, frequency and last departure times for the buses from Ekkamai to Pattaya, and back? I am guessing virtually non stop, but just want to be sure. Oh, and the travel time there as well. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Hippie Posted June 16, 2005 Report Share Posted June 16, 2005 Travel time is about 2 hours if no problems. Not sure of first and last bus times...I seem to recall there is an online bus schedule someplace...anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know the start/stop times, but definitrly NOT 24 hour. I THINK the last bus gets to PTY about 11-12 PM. Last bus leaves PTY around 10 PM. Morning? Is there a morning in Pattaya?

Hi kk, From what I have seen on the board, I think it lasts from midnight to around 2 am, maybe longer in some places. Khwai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Khwai SickBeast- Yeah, I thought I spotted it approaching once, but then I realized it was just the part of the night when the sun is out. An odd time, with bright-eyed, neatly dressed people in the streets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gummigut Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 Last bus that left Pattaya in December to Bangkok was 9pm to my chagrin. Had to hitch a cab. <<burp>> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Petchburi Pete Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 Someone mentioned that the fare is now 100 Bt. ... but, I can't confirm. I believe there are also buses from Mo Chit to Pattaya and back. Whatever you do, make sure you get on an express bus !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khun_Kong Posted June 18, 2005 Report Share Posted June 18, 2005 New Petchburi Pete said:... Whatever you do, make sure you get on an express bus !!! I second that idea. What is it with the people who get off in the middle of nowhere? Is that a scheduled stop? Sometimes, seems as though they detour through small neighborhoods to drop 1 person. Also, good idea to ask for a seat on the non-sunny side when buying your ticket. Also good to avoid the rear most seats (bouncy), front seats and stair seats (no legroom), seats with a window post right next to your shoulder (lose 4 inches of room) and the seats across from the hong naam (STENCH)!

ALHOLK Posted June 19, 2005 Report Share Posted June 19, 2005 Hi! Sometimes, seems as though they detour through small neighborhoods to drop 1 person. I have also wodered about this. Very often they will stop to let passengers of in Chonburi. What the fuck is this about. The Chonburi bus departs from the same bus station about two slots away from the Pattaya bus. If they are going there why the fuck don't they take the appropriate bus. I would assume that money is involved but I have never seen any changing hands. Perhaps it is case of farangs having no rights as they don't se us as humans. On the other hand the majority of the passengers are Thai. regards ALHOLK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
