hackjam Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 How much from Utapo Airport to Pattaya, if I just grab a Taxi outside Airport building? How long journey time to central Pattaya? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I moved this to the Pattaya forum where similar threads exist and the question will likely get a quicker response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pdavies99 Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 (edited) Standard overcharged price there is 2000 baht, but why not book in advance with PT TAXIS, Pattaya online for 700 baht? Depending on traffic 1-2 hours Edited November 30, 2016 by Pdavies99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phantomfiddler Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Jay is right on with 45 mins, and I would rather die the death of 1,000 cuts than pay 2,000 Bht for a taxi for this short ride. More like a third of that ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dotpoom Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I think 45 mins. is a bit short. I live Bang Saray. Takes me 35-40 mins. to Jomtien. on my motorbike, longer by car as can't nip in and out between the cars (I'm not Thai). Driving in the opposite direction towards U-Tapow it takes me about the same length of time to reach the airport (I'm usually going to the beautiful Nang Ram beach).

soisanuk Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I haven't been to Utapao Airport, but my travel time from Jomtien area in Pattaya to Queen Sirikit Hospital (as I understand it, the airport is not much further) - time was usually 40 to 50 minutes depending on traffic (same for returning).

Halfaboy Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 Wouldn't there be a regular bus-service from i.e. Jomtien Busterminal ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogeroc Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 From the airport it is quite easy to get a minivan, i believe 250 baht, there are fewer minivan services going the other way. I hink the average taxi fare is about 800 baht. If you are flying with Air Asia they may do an add on to flight transfer to the centre which is very reasonable.

JoePai Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 No need for a taxi,there are several desks just inside the terminal selling tickets for 250 Baht - tell the driver where you want to get off - very efficient and typically an easy 45 mins drive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melvinmelvin Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 to OP: you don't just grab a taxi outside, you order it inside, before you leave the building, 2000 baht, 45 min ride (the Air Force regulates the price) cheap vans available outside though, if you could fancy that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goanna Posted November 30, 2016 Share Posted November 30, 2016 I got a taxi a few days ago to Utapao from Pattaya center, 800 baht from a taxi stand for 6am. I don't know about the other way. Mini bus sounds good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toenail Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 -Just a thought, you would think it would be cheaper to take a taxi or van (bus???) to Utapo "International" & Pattaya than to and from Bangkok. Doesn't look like it. Question: how does one get to Utapo from pattaya (I would not want to pay the high prices the Pattaya taxis charge.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eff1n2ret Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Just as an indication of what a rip-off 1000- or 2000Baht fares U-Tapao - Pattaya are, we pay about 1700Baht, sometimes less, for a decent taxi from Banchang to Suvarnabhumi - and the driver pays the m-way tolls.

Henryford Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 I am flying out of Utapao next month and parking my car for a few days. Can i check the latest position from anyone parking there recently. Are there plenty of spaces, what is the daily parking fee now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have parked there for a few days several times, never had a problem getting a space, there are some limited covered spaces but they fill up first. Cannot remember how much the daily parking rate was, I think around 50 baht a day but don't quote me on that. hope that helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elgenon Posted December 2, 2016 Share Posted December 2, 2016 Wouldn't the trip time for a minivan depend on how many stops it makes to deliver riders to there destination. Could add a considerable amount of time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henryford Posted January 31, 2017 Share Posted January 31, 2017 Just a heads up on car parking charges at Utapao. When i last checked on the net they were quoted as 70 baht a day. I've just parked there for 6 days and was charged 140 baht a day, 100% increase !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
