Bus To Bangkok (ekkamai)

[MisterFingers]

I have to make a couple of day trips to Bangkok.

I know there's a bus that goes to the Ekkamai sky train station.

Is this the only Bangkok bus?

How often do these buses run? When do they start in the morning?

If I just show up at the bus terminal, am I likely to get the next bus?

Any info is appreciated.

Buses also depart to Morchit in northern Bangkok (used to be the best bet for the airport - but obviously not now). To Ekamai buses depart approx. every half hour, but if there are lots of people they will put on an extra one. Just turn up - you will usually get on a bus within 15 - 20 mins except on days when lots of people are travelling (Songkran, elections etc.)

Throughout the day, buses leave at approximately 30 minute intervals, but early in the morning 6-8 am. they leave every 20 minutes.

Just turn up: I have never waited more than 15 minutes for a bus to leave Pattaya North Bus station.

Bus to Bangkok.

Wasn't that an old Midnight Oil song?

1. Pattaya - Bangkok: Allow 2 1/2 hrs.

2. Sorry, I don't know, as I have never used it myself in the evening.

3. One way fare is 121 baht.
