"Public transportation" (songtaew) from bus station

Featured Replies

When I am not in a hurry to get to Pattaya ( where I live & work nearby) I prefer to take a bus instead of a taxi ( BKK taxi drivers are unpredictable). Once arriving at the bus station in north Pattaya, the price always varies. A couple years ago the standard price was 30 baht, the past year it varies from 40 to 50 baht. Seems like the fee depends on the driver what he wants from the 10-12 people ( usually college age Koreans & other tourists) packed inside. Is there a chart showing what the fee is?

Just walk outside the bus station and you can get one on the main road for 10 baht. Might have to wait a few minutes but not to long.

Coming from the bus-exit, you'll find a 'price-list' nearby the parked song-taews. 

The so called price list posted at the north bus station is there to help provide some extra shade for the mafia baht bus drivers there.   A few months ago I pointed out the posted

baht price and was laughed out of the parking lot.  I did go to north road and started walking towards the beach and not a single baht bus came by before I got to 3rd road.  I ended up getting on a motorcycle taxi and that was 70 baht to get to Tuk Com.  I hope you have better luck than I did.

I used the baht bus twice at 50b.

Now I use motocy taxi at 80b to Soi Xzyte on Third road.

Soi Xzyte to the bus terminal is 60b with motocy.
