Transport To Bang Saen

[twix38]

Hi,

I am thinking to go to Bang Saen, near Chonburi for a 3 or 4 day visit sometime.

Does anyone know the best public transport method and cost or, simply the approx. taxi cost from Jomtien

It's just an idea for somewhere close by to visit for a few days

Thanks

Take the bus for 40 baht/farang price or 30 baht Thai price. Don't fight with the folks on board over the 10 baht difference. It is a nice, fast ride up to Bang Saen.

Thanks Innovator,

Can anyone tell me..............

where to get the bus from in Pattaya or Jomtien (place to wait)?

How do I know it's the right bus. i.e. is the end destination on the bus as Bang Saen and in English or is there a bus number?

Times or where to get a timetable from?

How long is the journey. Pattaya to Bang Saen by bus?

Is there a bus company phone number to call?

Many thanks as right now I have no idea where to get it from, what bus it is or anything concrete to go and catch it

Many many thanks

Just stand at one of the bus stops up on Sukhumvit Road and flag down any orange 'rot doysarn' bus. They're usually all going to Bangkok but ask 'Bang Saen mai' and you should get a yes or no.

They'll drop you on Sukhumvit at Bang SAen and you'll have to get a songthaew down the road to the beach.

Some of the white songthaews runnign along Sukhumvit also go there.

Journey times of about 1 hour depending on how crazed the driver is.

Timetable? You're having a laff aren't you?
