Bad experience on Bus back from Bangkok

[craigt3365]

They have a 6:20am bus and a 7am bus. I got there at 6:15am. The 6:20am bus was full and the 7am bus had 4 seats left. Not sure when the next one was.

Going down from Chonburi I never used the ticket buses, just the normal services that run up and down Suk. A couple of years ago if I stood by the side of the road it wouldn't be any more than 5 minutes before one came along, now you can wait half hour or more.

If you are ever struggling to get a bus from the Pattaya terminal just walk up to the traffic lights on Suk and one of the other services will stop for you.

Don't bother with the ones that have the big pink stripe, they only go to Chonburi but all the blue and orange ones go into Ekamai.
