If you cannot afford a taxi to your hotel, you are going to have a really boring time in Pattaya.

 

Who said the OP is on a holiday, and where did he say he couldn't afford a taxi?

 

He asked a sincere question, if there are songthaews available, to which the answer is yes

Not without changing baht buses, I don't think. Or privately hiring the baht bus. The route taken would normally be via Sukhumvit Rd then either South Pattaya Rd or Thepprasit Rd. But possibly back down North Pattaya Rd then 3rd rd and up Pratamnak Hill. In theory there's no u turn at the top of North Pattaya Rd.

 

Try Bolt, or if small luggage, a motorbike taxi.

Motorbike taxi's are also there.  Last time I took one to my hotel.  I offered 100 baht, she declined, "120, because you're fat".  Fair enough.

Yes there is; Take bath bus toward to the beach. At 2nd road switch to Jomtien one.

Jump off at Pratumnak intersection and walk to your hotel.

 

I got that from here; https://www.pattayaunlimited.com/getting-around-pattaya/

 

That involves an illegal u turn top of North Pattaya Rd. Still, who cares? Not the cops, for sure. And 2nd Rd is one way north. That will never work.

 

Sukhumvit/Pattaya Tai or Thepprasit.

OT, but is that car park for motorbikes next to the Bus station still open? Very handy, it looked like it was closing last time I used it a few months ago

 

And yes just order a Bolt

Yup you can agree  but ask for 20 baht off because she is not pretty enough.

The last time I tried that about two months age they had raised their price to 100 baht. I declined and ordered a Bolt car.

Usually the Bolt drivers want you to get out of the bus station to pick you up not inside.

 

 

What I do is cross the street and wait for him outside Makro. It is far enough away from the bus station, the street goes in the right direction towards central Pattaya, and the place is easy for the driver to locate.

Rubbish you ever tried getting a baht bus on Pattaya North Rd. 😂

I used to do it every time. I'd take a baht bus to Dolphin roundabout and there was one waiting on the corner. Could take a long time to fill up, so not if in a rush. I never saw one going the other way though.

Yes, shared from station to wherever folk want, but to Pratumnak better cab,grabor bolt, or contract sole use of a baht bus.

Soooooo, for about the price of a beer from 7 11 you'll use a taxi instead. I'd prefer the reason to be because the songtheaw drivers are rude, pack too many people into their vehicles, won't take you to the actual hotel ( leave you on the main road near the hotel ), take too long etc, but that's just me.

 

I think the price was 100 baht about 5 years ago, but that could be just my bad memory. In the good old days it was 20 baht from bus station to the hotel.

I use Nam's taxi for 1200 in a luxury Camry. Is 1000 for smaller car which is great deal when they meet you at the gate and drop you at your door
