Bell Travel Service

Their rates are great. They pick you up at your hotel/apartment in Pattaya or Bangkok and deliver you to the next city for 350 baht. I have several friends who love the service and use it often. I was planning on giving it a try today but something came up.

I have used their service once to Bangkok and back. Yes, a good service, but I prefer a lower cost method that is convenient for me -- baht bus from Jomtien to 2nd Road Intersection - short walk toward Beach Road (walking street) about half way - table on sidewalk on North side - usually with one or two white vans at the curb - cost is 97 Baht and it goes direct to Victory monument - either taxi or skytrain from there to destination in Bangkok. But, if you have more than a back pack and they have several passengers, they may ask you to buy another "seat" for your bag (still, that is 194 Baht - substantially less than Bell's cost to Bangkok). It is called Pattaya Van and they depart every 40 minutes starting at 6am - trip to Victory Monument about 2 hours to 2 hours 15 minutes depending on traffic in Bangkok. Last trip is 8pm. Same schedule from Bangkok back to Pattaya.

 

What I found inconvenient with Bell was pick up by van and then drive around town picking up other passengers - then to North Pattaya Bus station to transfer to the bus -- bus goes to airport to drop off and pick up passengers -- then arrive Bangkok, transfer to another van, then drive around dropping off other passengers. Pick up is usually one hour before bus departure - trip to Bangkok via airport is about 2 1/2 to 2 3/4 hours - then another 30 minutes or longer to hotel drop off point in Bangkok - so trip takes at least 4 hours or longer.

 

For the Airport, a baht bus to Food Mart parking area (opposite Pan Pan on Thappraya Road) - air conditioned waiting room, bus to airport - 124 Baht (I haven't tried it, but some friends have - say the buses used have more room). Anyway, 134 Baht (10+124) instead of 200 Baht - again, no running around Pattaya picking up other passengers and then transferring to bus at North Bus station.

 

Just a couple of alternatives to Bell that some might want to consider.
