Getting To Central Bangna From Pattaya

[NewGuy]

Which bus is best from Pattaya to Bangna, stopping at the Central Department store (I believe the Thai passport office is on the ninth floor)?

Just take the bus to Ekamai and get off at Bangna Central shopping centre.

Just tell the driver or conducter that you want to get off at Bangna Central, there are usually 2 or 3 passengers that get off there.

Thanks Cobber. Is that the Pattaya Neua Bus Terminal Ekamai bus or the oh so very pokey flag it down on Sukhumwit one?

Yep. Just the regular bus to Bangkok/Ekamai from Pattaya Neua bus terminal.

my gf just got one a couple weeks ago-she spent a few hours there doing the application etc then had to go back 2 days later to pick it up-just so you know you are looking at 2 trips

My gf and her sister - in their wisdom - took this route: Pattaya - Mor Chit - Bangna - Mor Chit - Pattaya. They returned tired and without the passport in question. Although my gf was told to come back in a week I will encourage her to call in two days and to choose the easy path next time. A few years ago my previous gf got it the same day.

i think they will post you the passport when its ready so two trips are not required.

A bit of a problem there .... I need it in hand a.s.a.p. to book an air asia flight for the end of the month - I'll accompany the lass this time; hope that won't add to the delay.
