Baht bus Pattaya

[ichigo]

Excuse my ignorance, but can someone explain in detail how one catches a baht bus from Jomtien complex to boyztown (and opposite)? I’ve never done it before and just want to make sure I do it correctly lol. Thanks

Hello

You walk onto the main road, Thappraya road (the busy road in front of the main entrance of Supertown) and you flag down (wave with your hands) the bahtbus and if he is:

Not full

Or in-service

He should pull over and then you get on the back of the pickup truck. 

You ring the bell when you see from your mobile phone map app that you are near your destination.

Then you disembark and walk up to the driver and give him 10 baht.

Good luck and have fun.  I use the bahtbus at least 3 to 4 times each week.

Doesn't the price increase once you cross S. Pattaya rd  ?

No, if you are northbound from Jomtien going into Pattaya city - 10 baht can bring you as far north as the Terminal 21 shopping mall before the bahtbus heads towards beach road to head south.

Yes, if you are southbound and decide to return to Jomtien from the heart of northern (Terminal 21) or central (Central Festival), then you have to pay for 2 different bahtbuses at 10 baht each.

You will need to disembark at the below mentioned intersection and walk over to the southbound Jomtien bahtbuses.

What I usually do is just walk to the route beginning point at the intersection of South Pattaya road and Pattaya Sai 2 road (near BoyzTown) where the bahtbuses heading southbound into Jomtien begin.
