elzach Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 The info on the Pattaya Bus web page clearly states that it leaves from Thaphraya Rd, every hour till 9 pm. However, when I called them, the woman said from North Pattaya station. I also asked if I can check in 2 bags totaling 25 kg, but communication was very difficult. Can anyone confirm this? I need to catch the last bus tomorrow night, as my flight is late after midnight. If for some reason I miss that bus, I can catch the bus to Ekkamai and how late?

johng Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Best to go to the station and buy the ticket for the last bus from Thaphraya station in advance...there will be no problem with your bags if they go in the hold.If you miss the last bus then you'll have to get a taxi...as even the white mini vans stop running about 8-9 pm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KneeDeep Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 She probably misunderstood the question. 2 bags not an issue, but you may have to pay a little extra. Quote Each customer is allowed to have 1 small personal bag that fits in the overhead compartment (very small space) and 1 normal sized checked baggage with the maximum standard size of 48W-29D-76H in centimeter or 19”W-11”D-30”H with maximum linear dimension of 153 cm. and maximum weight of 20 kg. If the size or the weight is more than the standard limit, you will be subject to oversize or overweight charge. Our system does not accept a booking if customer has more than 3 checked baggage. In that case please input only 3 bags and our staff will check-in additional bags before boarding with additional charges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allane Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Website: airportpattayabus.com The last bus appears to be at 9 p.m. They have a small surcharge for excess baggage. Running time to the airport is about 2 hrs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted May 23, 2018 Share Posted May 23, 2018 Some confusion. There are two bus services to Suvarnabhumi. 1) From Jomtien bus station (Thappraya rd.), where you have get on your own. 2) From Northern bus station, "Bell Bus" which incl. pickup at hotel/apartment. 1) goes every hour (and I could bet it starts at 8:00 AM) 2) goes every two hours from 9:00 AM Did I ever experience complaints about baggage size? No! To be sure: at Bell Bus you can specify additional bag for a fee. But now you have to decide whether you want to use 1) or 2). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the last bus with Bell appears to be at 7 pm, which is too early for me (my flight is at 3 am). So I guess I'll go to Thaphraya station to catch the 9 pm bus. Getting there at 8-8:15 should be no problem in getting a ticket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can buy a ticket up to three days in advance for peace of mind. As an overcautious guy I always went at least a day before :>) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From Ekami there are several ways to get to BKK airport. Check the airport link time if you want to go all BTS. Or catch a taxi from Ekami Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only takes an accident on the road or a bus breakdown and your schedule is toast. Going on the second to last bus allows for the unexpected. Personally, I stay in Bkk the night before a flight.

balo Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Just go to Jomtien bus station and buy the ticket one day in advance , then catch the 9 pm bus. Directly to the aiport.. Do not take the other bus route , it will slow you down and you have to get out of the crazy Bangkok traffic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The manic Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 there are two depots. I use the one at Thapraya because it is near me. They.leave every hour and d take about two hours. you may pay a small fee for an extra bag Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going on the second to last bus allows for the unexpected. Personally, I stay in Bkk the night before a flight. You're right and I did think about that. In fact the Roong Reuang bus I was on from Mochit station to Pattaya broke down in March right after the toll booth in BKK. It was afternoon, we waited for 45 min to an hour for the replacement bus to pick us up. I think many of us can attest that many/most of these buses are near the end, or have exceeded, their serviceable lives. I ended up taking the bus from Thappraya station.

Once at Ekamai there is no problem getting to the airport as the skytrain station is right by the bus depot. Of course one is better off going direct though. I was always happy with Bell bus, and they pick one up from the accommodation, so not having to wait for the baht bus on Nth road to move, or pay too much in a taxi.

From Ekamai first BTS that will cost you 40 baht, then switch to the airport train , another 30 minutes wasted and 50 baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
