Bus to and from Pattaya?

[ricklev]

I noticed that Bangkok Ekamai to Pattaya and back has a few buses running now according to their website. Is it possible now to just get on a bus from Bangkok and spend a day or two in Pattaya?  I know there's no problem going to Bangkok but do you have to fill out forms etc  when you enter Pattaya?  Thanks. http://pattayabus.com/V2/en/from-bangkok/

No. The lock down of Pattaya finished some weeks ago.

Yes at Ekkamai bus station they get you to complete an A4 quasi arrival card, address, phone number, nothing major. In typical thai style no one collects it so i binned it when i got to my Pattaya condo

I took a look at the bus station as I rode towards the Beach on Pattaya North Rd on Monday and it looked empty.

Thanks. Are they blocking off seats so nobody has anyone sitting next to them?

I was wondering the same about Mo Chit...we really need some current info..  Some excellent hotel deals down there, now.  Can't get good info on HuaHin, either.
