Getting back to Pattaya from Jomtien Immigration

after you finish with immigration take a right turn out of the car park and about 400 meters you will come to a cross road with 7/11 on the corner, from there walk down to the big main road and baht buses come by regularly 10 baht to anywhere on second road

Ride a few steps beyond your destination before pushing the buzzer to get off. Hand the driver 10 baht through the window without making eye contact.Have exact change ready, as he likely will not give you change. Don't stand beside the songthaew, looking like a fool, waiting for a discussion as to whether you have paid enough. If you wait for a discussion, you will certainly get one.

Strange directions. Why not turn left and catch a Songthaew from the Beach road?

Most of them will, but to make sure just ask "Pattaya Sai Song Mai"

Never EVER initiate conversation with a songthaew driver….they take it to mean you are asking how much/you are a newbie or tourist and you will get the usual 150b/200b quote….as long as its going in the direction you came from…get on….if it takes a wrong turn get off and pay 10B silently.

Repeat till you get home.

You shouldn't have to because if they are driving towards 2nd road they are most likely going there. The only hitch might be some might terminate the journey at the corner of 2nd road and pattaya tai….if so, just take another songthaew from there.

He could use that phrase also when he sits down to ask other passengers thumbsup.gif

>>Strange directions.<< strange indeed.As you said turn left as you exit the Immigration car park and walk straight down to Beach road ,about 200 m .Cross over to the Beach side and all Baht busses passing will be heading to Pattaya .A slightly longer way ,is to turn right after you exit the car park and at the top of the road ,about 100 m ,turn left and go about 200 M till you reach a major crossroad .Baht busses travelling in a right hand direction will be heading for Pattaya .

I'm not too familiar with Jomtien yet, are there baht buses that head back to Pattaya along that main road that goes from northwest to southeast? I'm trying to get back to 2nd road in Patts

If you stay in 2nd rd Pattaya, avod the main rd Sukhumvit. Just take the baht bus from beach rd. It's 10 baht.

Wait. You mean there are now bath buses plying Jomtien Second Road? How far south on Jomtien Second Road can you hail one?

Hmmm. Waitasec. If you turn right out of the Immigrations car park, 400m to the right will be almost to Thepprasit Soi 17. Did you mean turn *left*???
