Pattaya - Jomtien to Suvarnabhumi Airport new bus service

New bus route to and from Airport

We all know that it is relatively expensive to get to the new airport from Pattaya.
One has to rely in the main on taxis, which regardless of how honest some drivers are you will still occur a hefty fee of around 1,000 baht each way. Others naively fall victim to unscrupulous shysters who will try to overcharge and if one does not have any other option one accepts with gritted teeth.

Now, a new service has appeared for everyone wishing to travel via Pattaya and new airport. Khun Khumron Thongsuwan, manager of the Rungueang Bus Company announced on the 14th July about the operation of a new regular bus service from Jomtien to the Suvarnabhumi Airport. This new route will serve everyone from its Pattaya/Jomtien base at the forecourt opposite the Pan Pan Restaurant on Thappraya Road. It will operate 4 buses offering a daily service leaving every 2 hours from 8am to 9pm at a cost of 124 baht per person. The last bus service to Pattaya from Suvarnabhumi bus terminal will be at 9pm.

Very nice indeed...

A few weeks ago I posted about a service that is run by 'Bell Travel' that also offer 2 hourly runs from the airport to pataya for 200baht , and will pick you up at your hotel room for journey's to the airport as well.

Its great that the operators are starting to offer these services , I only wonder when the trouble is going to start between them and the taxi mafia.:confused:

This is a real plus although not sure if wuld wait 2 hours if I just miss one

I am moving from MaeHongSon to Pattaya (yeah i know...1 extreme to another) in 2 weeks time.
I would like to know where to go in the airport to get this bus and the Bells bus and do you have to book in advance?
Thx

I've just come through the airport and the new bus service to Pattaya leaves from the ground floor next to the tourist bus service opposite the local restaurant.

Just head to the lowest level, cant miss it matey.

No reservation required just rock up. If you have to wait just nip into the local restaurant for some tucker.

Cheers
