I live just down the road from Centralworld, this be great for me if it gets off the ground as it were. Bye bye Ekkamai!

 

I don't think I'm their target market though as I have no intention of spending one single cent at either Central mall ????

Go to 3 food courts. Then blog about it.

I had a look at the website but could not locate the site of the Bangkok Bus stop to start the journey. Could not see any map ?

The price on the website is quoted in US$7.29 and close to 250 baht.

Am I missing something ?

Yes, you are missing that the headline is misleading ????

You have to switch to THB at the top. The start is obviously here if you do not want to start at Central Village.

Is this Sukhumvit Road in Bangkok?

I'm sure there must already be a shuttle from the Airport to Central Village, not sure if it's worth taking the hassle and the wait for schedule just to save 7 baht over the Jomtien airport bus though

The same place as he found the "Tour Bus" option I guess. In K. Nattakit's imagination ????

 

Disclaimer: as of yesterday I could only see a "Van" option. No pictures so I doubt if it's one of those fancy VIP vans that I see dropping off hi-sos at the expensive Chinese restaurant next door ????

Where did I say that the fare is B190? 

Maybe the poster who did say that found it in the OP and the title of the thread!

Perhaps you should ask Webfact or The Pattaya News or Central....or Klook which is obviously an agency that gets commission.

Few years ago I remember reading about Bangkok- Pattaya train project plan,  anyone know what  happened to this?  For now will stick to taxis, for rare trips, but train could be interesting because of speed, if they do it right of course.

The 190b reference is in the lead of the OP article in this thread:

 

"Pattaya — Central Pattana in partnership with Klook is launching a new bus route that will operate between three major malls: Central World, Central Pattaya, and Central Village, for only 190 baht."

 

The Klook website where you can do a booking currently lists the price as $7.29 USD, which is closer to 250b.

Is there a Thai language option that lists a Thai price? Seems odd to use USD.

Look here. You can switch language and currency.

and how much extra time do you spend on the bus just getting out of central area??

I want to know how fast "express" is if it's worth using.

Just enter a sample booking and you will see everything. Normally.... it should be in Pattaya after 3 hours.

faster just to head to one of the other bus lines then.  But I guess if you are a tourist here...
