Shhhh.  Don't jinx it. 

 

Or there won't be any seats available, even if it doesn't shut down because you just jinxed it.

Great news.

No word on times yet. Twice a day isnt much. Should be 3.

I have moved the topic into the Pattaya forum.

Well twice a day is 200% better than zero...

I don't disagree with that, but who's gonna wait up to 12 hours for the bus if they only run 2 a day? 

 

Other than the Super Cheap Charlies, and I get the sense Thailand's getting tired of them.

Yeah, you can catch a bus from DMK about every 15 minutes ( I believe it is the A1) and take it to Mochit bus station.  Mochit bus station has many buses to Pattaya everyday.

So no good for night flights landing. Stupid plan. Should have 9am, 3pm and 9pm.

[Soondae]

Multiple bus scheduled to Pattaya (4 buses I believe), however someone like myself in Hua Hin only get twice a day( on Facebook is a good post on the new service with all the times. DM to HH is 0700 and 1500).

That facebook post has a link to the website from the Bus Company ( https://tcl99web.transport.co.th/Home ) No online payment. You get a "tiket with a reservation No." then have to pay at the Busstation or 7/11. If you want to go from Suvarnabhumi to Pattaya, you select from Bangkok (then BKK Station) to Chonburi (then Pattaya Station). I guess thats Pattaya North Bus Station. Better and easier to use the Busservice to Jomtien. 

[GypsyT]

Does it leaved at terminal, like blue buses, or BKK bus station which is 15min away?

I had a pal come visit a few times who was more than willing to hang around for several hours to save on a bus, rather than pay for a taxi or a cheap room. If anything, Pattaya is heading towards, and catering for that type of customer more so.

"Regular bus service" - not quite.

Have you tried that?  I get a trip not found error message when I enter this info.

I think it's Jomtien as googling for the distance seems closer.
