Express Bus to and from Suvarnabhumi Airport

[Gaybutton]

Not long ago the question of transportation to and from Pattaya and Suvarnabhumi Airport came up. I had posted about a very nice express bus that leaves Pattaya from Soi Chaiyapruk, but I didn't have the schedule. Today I stopped in and got the schedule:

 

Pattaya to Suvarnabhumi

 

9:00am

1:00pm

4:00pm

7:30pm

 

Suvarnabhumi to Pattaya

 

6:30am

9:00am

1:00pm

5:00pm

 

The fare is 112 baht, one way.

 

For further information the telephone numbers are:

 

038 231 142

-or-

02 134 4099

 

Finding the bus station is simple. Any baht bus can take you to Soi Chaiyapruk. Soi Chaiyapruk is about a mile or so down Jomtien Beach from the gay beach area. If you exit the baht bus at Soi Chaiyapruk at the beach road, just walk up Soi Chaiyapruk about half a block. You'll spot the little ticket office on the right.

Considering that Bell Travel Service is door to door for 150 baht, it is cheaper. Their schedule is:

Pattaya to Suvarnabhumi

 

0600

0900

1100

1300

1500

1700

1900

 

Suvarnabhumi to Pattaya

 

0800

1000

1200

1400

1600

1800

The Bell Bus from Pattaya to the airport is excellent. A van picks you up in Pattaya and transfers you to the bus on Pattaya Nua. 150 baht fare includes both the van and bus.

 

From the airport you meet their rep near Door 7 on the lower level. But the rep is not at a booth but rather sitting on the chairs.

 

Very comfortable and driver does not drive like a maniac.

Have you had a chance to use this service, Gaybutton? In Jontiem, do you have to go to Soi Chaiyapruk to catch the bus or do they stop somewhere in Pattaya? It is nice to know about another service and have a little variation in schedules. At the airport, do you catch this bus on the lower floor (like Bell Travel Service) or do you go to the transportation center? Thanks.

I used the service to return to Pattaya from the airport. It's on the lower level. Facing outside, you turn left and go all the way to the end of the corridor.

 

The bus makes two stops. The first is at the bus station on Sukhumvit, just south of Central Road (Pattaya Klang). The second is the Soi Chaiyapruk stop. Those are the only stops.

 

So, there are all kinds of choices for getting to and from the airport. The problem is the scheduling. As far as I can tell, the less expensive services are fine if you are arriving or departing during the day, but if you are arriving or departing in the wee hours, you still have little else you can do other than use taxis.
