gobbledonk Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 I assume this info is still current: Most people departing Bangkok for Pattaya use the bus. The most frequent departures are from the Eastern Bus Terminal located adjacent to the Ekkamai BTS station on Sukhumvit Road at Soi 63 (Soi Ekkamai). Air-conditioned buses leave approximately every thirty minutes between 05:20 and 23:20 each day and cost B117.

cavanami Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Take the BTS, quick and cheap enough to get to Ekkamai. Lots of buses leaving for Pattaya and they are air con. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobbledonk Posted July 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Thanks Cav - cant remember if BTS is operating that early in the morning, but its all good. Getting to Patts pre-10am probably isnt going to win me too many friends at my lodgings - might be better off leaving at midday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cavanami Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Could take an air con bus: 511, or non-air con, 2, 38, 48 (?) plenty go to Ekkamai. Maybe the BTS starts at 6 AM, not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobbledonk Posted July 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 Sensational - ta. So close, so very close - I can almost smell Suk now ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chelseafan Posted July 22, 2011 Report Share Posted July 22, 2011 From memory I think its the 48-xx buses from Ekamai, as Cav said, take the BTS for speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robaus Posted September 15, 2011 Report Share Posted September 15, 2011 Don't be carrying any Viagra or non prescription drugs. Several reports of Ekkamai bus station being a favourite spot for Thai police targetting Pattaya bound farangs for tea money shake downs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
