Humphrey Bear Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Are there any UK Pattaya direct flights from UK?Thanks How are you at free-fall? Some HALO flights are permitted from 0900hrs to 1330hrs, but you have to make arrangements for packing your own 'chute. Unfortunately regular passenger flights usually fly over the Gulf of Thailand, rather than the Eastern Seabord, so a quick release pack is essential if you don't want to drown. Alternatively - fly into the beautiful airport I helped to create, namely Suvarnabhumi. (Golden Land for the ignerunt among us) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weho Posted July 17, 2007 Share Posted July 17, 2007 Nope, no direct flights, but probably your best bet, in the high season, would be London/Seoul/U-tapao, all on Korean Airlines, (flights to U-tapao only in the high season). If you really want to fly into U-tapao that bad, and are willing to make TWO connections, you have more choices: London/Dusseldorf Dusseldorf/Phuket on LTU Phuket/Utapao on Bangkok Airways There might be a flight on Finnair from Helsinki to Utapao, might also be seasonal, might not be a regular flight, maybe charter... but they go. Also, a bit longer: London/Los Angeles Los Angeles/Seoul Seoul/Utapao Oh, just thought of another one: London/Singapore Singapore/Samui on bangkok airways samui/Utapao on bangkok airways Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And certainly not two hours unless your driver wants to take a leak at the service station on the way. My last trip in (about six weeks ago) landed at eight in the morning - exactly. Went through immigration and visited toilet on way out. Cashed some money. Caught taxi fairly quickly, was back home in South Pattaya before ten.

PattayaAddict Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 There ARE direct flights from the Uk to BKK-Thai and Eva Airlines offer them -they mostly leave from Heathrow NOT Gatwick ( about 11:50 min flight time ) and they tend to be about 100-150 pounds dearer to purchase than i.e an Emirates flight making connection in Dubai . Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Garuda used to before but that was my worst ever - the 6 hour delay on the tarmac at Gatwick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattayaAddict Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Right, right . 6 hour delay in Gatwick ,thats gotta hurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prakanong Posted July 18, 2007 Share Posted July 18, 2007 Right, right .6 hour delay in Gatwick ,thats gotta hurt They did not let us off the plane for about 4 hours either - people were not very happy to say the least. Quite a few missed onward flights as we arrived 8 at night instead of early afternoon. It did mean I got two classic moments later with an Irish lad I met on the flight - lovely bloke. As I met him outside McDonalds on Sukhumvit I asked him why he had a coat with him, he replied, "I thought it might get a bit nippy later on" Then on the tour of bar's he said, "You do not get bar's like this in County Cork" He was going off to work in Oz for a while and I lost touch but he was a very nice bloke if a little naive about Thailand but we were all newbies once.

tapper Posted July 23, 2007 Share Posted July 23, 2007 pattaya has an airport,i flew from pattaya to sumui.also there is an old usaf air strip where believe it or not russian passenger aircraft land,it has immigration and customs.it is about 25k from pattaya.i think they fly direct from one of the"stans"so i should say they are old russian aircraft.my friend who has seen it,and knows about stuff tells me they are converted illushyn(sic)transport aircraft which if not the largest plane in the world are one of the largest. so your plan is fly direct from heathrow to moscow change for say tashkent(uzbekistan)change again for another "stan"fly DIRECT to pattaya then take a taxi,if you can find one and you are there.
