Bus From North Pattaya Bus Station To Ekamai

[dsfbrit]

I am heading into Bangkok (Ekamai) by bus for the first time since February.

I will be getting the bus at about 6.30 am on Wednesday from North Pattaya bus depot.

Do I need to go to buy a ticket the night before or are seats still easy to get.

I suspect that a row with 2 seats is just used by 1 passenger.

Is that correct?

If there are any problems with this simple exercise I would appreciate you letting me know.

Yes, I know it is a simple process getting a bus to Bangkok, I have done it many many times. However,

nowadays I check many things that I used to take for granted.

 

Thanks for your help

No limits to passenger numbers last couple of times I used this service. I have never needed to buy an advance ticket either. Buy one 30 minutes prior to departure and you should be fine.

Thanks Champers for the reply.

 

I have never had a problem either. It is just since Covid-19 I check a lot of things. I guess the bus will only be half full due to social distancing - not sure if that makes a difference though as I suspect there are a LOT less people travelling around now anyway.

Much like the social distancing on the baht buses in town?

No social distancing on the buses now, it will probably be full at that time

Bring a face-mask of course.
