Gday.
Does anyone have a link or contact to a reliable taxi service from Pattaya to Suvarnabhumi airport?
There's a few threads around about this, but most are quite old.
Recent info appreciated.

There was someone on the other channel the other day wanting a taxi from Jomtiem to Swampy. He says he normally paid 1000/baht which I thought was cheap. Someone gave him a number for 900/baht in the end.
I've saved the number on my other phone:)
Give me a couple of minutes
Try Grab Taxi...
Sent u it in a pm
^^ Uber are in Pattaya as well I think
I doubt either will take you to Swampy for 900 baht though
Damm Taxis are cheap.
Partner of a friend is an Uber driver (in the west).
Driving my car (car seats for the kids) from home to the Airport and park the car back at my place,
he wanted Bht 6,000
My gas and I paid the tolls. He lives in the adjoining suburb.
Distance is about the same as Swampy -> Pattaya
I declined ...

The standard is 900 baht,
You don't have to look hard to get a taxi. Just go to one of the many tour travel kiosks dotted about and they will sort you out.
The reason it is 900 baht is because the taxis take people from Swampy or Bangkok for 1200/1500 baht (standard or they rip you off for 3k if a tourist) and want a return fare. The taxi drivers are well happy because they can grab a cheap girl for the night and get a fare home.
Just walk for 100 metres in any direction of where you are and you will find someone punting out a taxi service.
I don't think we've met :)Quote:

This was at 22:00, it's reasonable to assume there's a premium attached for after-hours travel but fucking hell that's a doozy of a premium!. I use Grab Car all the time for local travel though and couldn't be happier with the service or prices.
Thanks.
I assume that I have to pay the tolls, but 900 baht still seems cheap for a 90 minute drive.
There's only one toll to pay.... Until January i think
It's cheap because they would rather have a fare back to their return destination rather than going home empty.

^ Didnt the grabcars used to be cheaper than the grabtaxis?

^&^^Grab Car are normally about 20% cheaper than Grab Taxi for local use, maybe there's a danger money levy for airport runs :). I always use Grab Car around home for no other reason than to ride in cars I've never been in before. Last rides on the weekend were in a Nissan X-Trail on the way out, and a Chevy Cruze on the way back. Both were nice cars to ride in and both drivers got 5* ratings.
Well I've booked 900 baht pickup for 10am tomorrow.
I'll let you know if he arrives on time..
My problem with grab in PH is that the availability of drivers is proportionally opposite to the urgency of my departure.
So for a run to the airport I want reliability.
Driver phoned me about 5 minutes to 10 to tell me that he was about 5 minutes away.
Arrived on time, driving a Toyota Innova, so bonus leg room.
Service gets a tick of approval from me.
Give him your business 086 392 1240
