Mikl777 Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86Tiger Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 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....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikl777 Posted January 14, 2017 Author Share Posted January 14, 2017 Thanks for the suggestion, but I'm in a residential condo but none of the staff seems to speak English very well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted January 14, 2017 Share Posted January 14, 2017 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.

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.

mcfish Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Search the pattaya addicts forum they have several recommended private taxis at 1200 baht Sent from my SC-01D using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dddave Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 (edited) 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.

Mikl777 Posted January 18, 2017 Author Share Posted January 18, 2017 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.

brewsterbudgen Posted January 18, 2017 Share Posted January 18, 2017 Just take the bus from Ekkamai or Mo Chit. Cheap (around 120 baht) and depending on traffic, quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
