Forkinhades Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Pattaya Bus Station to Bangkok is situated at Pattaya Nua. Basically the next main road Parrallel to Klang . If you took the road by the side of Big C Extra, it will lead you straight to the Bus Station.Sent from my SM-N950F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midas Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Yes if you value your life follow the advice of Forkinhades and go by big bus. Alternatively if you are a gambler there are three or four different minivan companies actually on Klang itself (near Foodland) that also go to Bangkok.

The manic Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 But what about a bus from The Pratumnak/Jomtien side of town? Would it be worth getting the express airport big bus from Foodmart near Threpasit Thapraya Junction and then the express bus from Survanapoomi to BKK. The hike across town to the Pataya Hua Bus station is expensive or time consuming Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaoboi Bebobp Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) It's a 60 baht moto ride from Klang and Soi Yume (a.k.a. Paniad Chang, the road beside Big C Extra) to the bus station. Not sure about a moto ride north on 3rd Road to North Road, where the bus station is. Maybe 70-80 baht. Nothing wrong with the Pattaya-Bangkok bus. I've done the return route well over 150 times in 7 years. I always get off at Udom Suk BTS station because it sometimes can take another half hour from the Bang Na Trad road (exit to Sukhumvit) to Ekamai Station.

Given he hasn't told us where on Klang he lives there are 2 cheap options. 1/ go to Sukhumvit and catch the ?white songtheaw to North Rd. Bus station couple of minutes walk from Sukhumvit. 2/ go to Second Rd and take baht bus to roundabout at North Rd. Cross to where baht bus waiting for passengers on North Rd. Total cost 20 baht.

thaibeachlovers Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Don't think anyone has mentioned Bell Bus yet. They will send a van to pick you up at your hotel, and take you to the bus station. Included in the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leave yourself plenty of time as the baht bus on Nth Rd can wait a while till it has enough passengers. I always wait till I know if it's going up Naklua Rd or turning down to Beach Rd as it's safer crossing on Naklua Rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This bus route runs 7 days a week, all holidays, etc. It never stops. Starts at around 4:30 am till 11 pm or midnight, both ways. Just show up, pay your 108 baht and you're off in minutes.

Wow ! that's a cheap charlies ticket for sure It is a GREAT deal. It used to be 124, then 119. About 3-4 years ago they dropped it to 108. And just recently both the Ekamai Terminal in Bangkok and the North Road Terminal in Pattaya have spanking new toilet facilities that put BKK airport to shame. Pattaya also has a nice, new park-like setting for us smokers. The buses are not much to look at and the interiors could use a remake, but mechanically they are well taken care of, IMO and that of a farang insider who retired from the company a couple of years ago.

LOL. Those Ekamai toilets were dire. Haven't gone from there for years. Did they fix the road though? Last time I went they had big steel plates down as the holes were so big. First time I ever went from Ekamai the bus was ancient and same one still in use 10 years later. The biggest shame of Ekamai is that they didn't put in a direct access to the expressway, which is very close, and instead have to go for miles and miles and miles in Sukhumvit traffic jams.

Forkinhades Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Yeah Ekamai is not in a good location. I used to always get off as soon as I saw a BTS station. Not possible on way back though. Coming back was never as bad. Most probably the time of day I used to come back.Sent from my SM-N950F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-N950F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app They missed a huge opportunity to relocate the station to nearer the expressway when the skytrain was extended. They have a subsidiary station some way along the road to Chonburi, but it's a very long way from the skytrain. Regardless, a link to the expressway at Ekamai would have saved many hours of my life and billions of litres of diesel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The plot of land on the corner of Bangna and Sukhumvit is supposed to be a large mall with attached transport complex, 'Bangkok Mall' by the mall group, but the project has been idle for a while Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
