Jomtien to Pattaya airport

[B0nkers]

Trying to find the cheapest way to get to Pattaya airport by 6:30am from Jomtien.

 

Earliest big bus leaves at 7am, arrives 9am. Cost = 120BHT

Local taxi scammer asked for 1500BHT... considering a taxi to Bangkok cost 1k, I wasn't happy with him, not to mention I use their service locally many times. They just lost a very frequent customer who always tips.

 

Not sure what other options there may be. I caught a shared mini bus from the airport to Jomtien when i arrived. Not sure if/where that same service is available in reverse

" Local taxi scammer asked for 1500BHT "

 

quite ridiculous isn't it when you consider that is more than the cost of most air Asia flights within this region?

incidentally there is an air Asia mini van service from outside Central Festival shopping centre but I'm not sure of the departure time
