Tuk tuk prices ?

[Sqoop]

I heard that at some point tuk prices would change from 10 to 20 baht. I ask because a tuk tuk from pattaya to jom tien just asked for 20 baht. ( from near South pattaya Road to jomtien soi 14/1. )

 

I don't mind paying, I just wonder what the actual price should be.

They are not called Tuk Tuk 

 

Usual price Jomtien beach to Pattaya especially near Central festival would be 20b

, if only going a short distance then 10 baht

I assume that you mean songtaew, not tuk-tuk.

 

The price for the service is 10 baht anywhere. You don't even need to talk with the driver, just give him 10 baht and go.

 

However, occasionally, some drivers ask 20 baht when the distance is long, as going from Jomtien to Terminal 21, or from Walking Street to Naklua.

I recently did baht bus from Jomtien soi 9 to Pattaya Terminal 21 and it was still 10 baht

 

Edit: To the person who posted the confused emoji, what part of my post confuses you?

Yes, Tuk Tuk fare always increases without prior notices.

 

Especially when they spot  any foreigners lacking:

 

Cheaper alternatives.

Local knowledge (distance to their destinations).

Very  basic Thai language skills...

 

I got similar experience in Cambodia as well more than a decade ago.

One Tuk Tuk driver offered me a ride(the distance was roughly 1km).

 

His initial quote, $10, I ignored and started to walk.

Then $5, I still wakled on.

$3, still No.

Finally $1, OK, agreed...

I think you don't really know how Pattaya baht buses operate.

I certainly don't.

Simply because I am not a Pattaya resident.

Have never been.

Question solved?

Then why did you post completely wrong information on Baht Buses in Pattaya?🤪

Perhaps not, but he pretty accurately described how Tuk  Tuks operate

Indeed, but in no way relevant to the topic being discussed.

Except OP titled thread as "tuk tuk prices" as well as 1st post only mentioned tuk tuk and never mentioned baht bus. We are all just assuming that's what he meant 😉

Well yes, 99.999999% he was not talking about "tuk-tuks" as we all know.

There are no tuk tuks in Pattaya and 10 baht would be an absolute steal if they were charging this.

Jomtien beach to Central Pattaya is 10 baht on a Songtaew, unless things have changed in the past year???

Would that encompass knowing the difference between a tuk tuk and a songtaew? 555

 

Fares from Jomtien in to Pattaya are 10 baht, as one doesn't need to change vehicles.  Pattaya to Jomtien is 10 baht to Pattaya Tai, where one changes to a different vehicle and must pay an additional 10 baht when they arrive at their destination.

Please, do not use tuk-tuk. They are a major source of acoustic and exhaust smoke pollution in Bangkok. Drivers are very often scammers. especially in touristic areas.

 

Refrein from using tuk-tuk and tell any friend visiting you in BKK to do the same: taxis are cheap and, with a bit of insistence and by carefully avoiding stationary taxis waiting in tourist's spots, they use the meter and are cheap too. 🙂

No issue with songthaew also called baht-bus (right in the picture).

I always pay them Baht 20 for longer distances without even being asked, I use Klang as my reference point, Baht 10 up to there (unless getting on in Jomtien, then it's Baht 20) Baht 20 past Klang.

Paying the going rate is not a cheap Charlie. Paying double the going rate on the other hand makes me think of "a fool and his money is soon parted"

They used to have 2-stroke engines = lots of pollution and noise!

Then 4-stroke = not so much.

Now electric = zeri pollution.
