Bangkok to Pattaya transportation

[Mikl777]

 I'm here in Bangkok on my annual trip. Going to Pattaya  in a couple of days.  In the past I have used Bell transportation services for this trip.   I'm curious to know if there's any recent alternatives that might be better. Or maybe a recommendation of a private taxi since I have quite a bit of luggage. Thanks in advance

I always had good luck telling the front desk of hotel my needs.  They never failed to have car at time I wanted to go for reasonable price.......

Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm in a residential condo  but none of the staff seems to speak English very well

It sounds like you are concerned about a large amount of baggage?

Otherwise Bell would be hard to beat.

Or what did you dislike about Bell?

 

For local knowledge (e.g. how to call/arrange a large size taxi) I move this to the Bangkok forum leaving a link in General forum.

  No, I don't have any problem with Bell transportation. I guess I'll probably use them. I just thought I'd ask this in case  A newer, better service  has come available since last  time I was here. Thanks for your help.

Most good condos will get you a taxi to the door. even if they have limited English start with the word taxi and take it from there.

Search the pattaya addicts forum they have several recommended private taxis at 1200 baht

Just as a general note; at BKK, Bell no longer can accept "walk-up" customers without an advance booking.

To the OP, I'd suggest calling Bell at BKK ( 086-345-8442) I believe they can arrange pick-up at your hotel in Bangkok and drop-off in Pattaya.

You also might consider using "GRAB TAXI" and requesting one of their wagon taxis that can hold a lot more luggage.  They will give you a quote for the trip.

As it turns out I didn't need a taxi after all. The  Airbnb  owner of  the condo in Pattaya  where I am staying lives in Bangkok. I accepted his offer to take me to Pattaya  since he was coming here anyway to meet me.

 

As a side note, I forgot my laptop charger in Bangkok. A new one cost $3000 bt.   I called Bell transport services. I paid 400bt  and  they picked up the charger in Bangkok and dropped it off  at my condo  here.   under the circumstances, I thought it was very reasonable for same-day  Door to door package delivery.

Just take the bus from Ekkamai or Mo Chit. Cheap (around 120 baht) and depending on traffic, quick.
