I have got a small tip to people that travel to Pattaya direct from the airport.
There is no need to take the 2500 THB something so called SUV limonsine that they trying to sell you before you even left the check out counter in the aiport.
There is no need to make the life any easier for all the punters in black old suites that trying to sell you van trips to Pattaya for 2000 THB.
And you can with a smile avoid the taxi meters generous offer of 1000-1500 THB there is no need anymore.
The only think you have to do is to head for the nice, new, big, air coned bussed that drives to Pattaya just as fast for 100 THB. You be there in 2 hours and no hassle but don’t expet people to show you they way to them they will say they are broke, the last one has left or that they does not exist they are all lying.
