Suvarnabhumi Airport to Pattaya
Option 1:
Bell Travel Service operates a private bus service between Suvarnabhumi and Pattaya's main bus terminal on North Pattaya Road (Pattaya Nua).
Bell also provides a "Door to Door Service from Arrival Hall to Pattaya Hotels", meaning that upon arrival at the North Pattaya bus station, passengers will be transferred to vans that will take them to their respective hotels.
You can either take the free shuttle bus to the Transport Center, or have Bell pick you up at their Meeting Point on the ground floor of the terminal building (level 1, arrivals door 7, near the Tourist Police counter), where you can also buy your ticket. Bell service staff will direct you to where the coach will pick you up, which is just outside arrivals door 7.
Departure times 8h, 10h, 12h, 14h, 16h, 18h.
One-way fare 200 Baht (paid to service staff upon boarding the coach. This price includes drop-off service to your hotel in Pattaya.)
The contact numbers are:
Outside Thailand: +66(0)89-449-8841 and +66(0)89-449-8843
In Thailand: 089-449-8841 and 089-449-8842.
Option 2:
Public buses from Suvarnabhumi to Pattaya and Jomtien is provided from the bus terminal at the airport's Transport Center. To get there, there's a free shuttle bus from outside the main terminal. The free shuttle service may take about 15 minutes to get to the bus station (last stop!). Several bus companies offer their services from here. (Please note that fares as well as departure times may change frequently.)
Transport Co. Ltd. offers two bus services to Pattaya, with one coach going to North Pattaya and another one going to Jomtien Beach (Soi Chaiyapruek). Take the air-conditioned (yellow) bus No. 389 to Jomtien Beach, or bus No. 905 to North Pattaya.
Departure times are 6.30h, 8h, 9h, 11h, 13h, 15h, 17h, 19h
One-way fare 106 Baht (June 2009). Tel. 02-1344 099 (airport office)
Option 3:
Taxis depart from airport level one and charge a flat rate of around 1,300 Baht (i.e. unless you opt for an expensive "limousine" service, which can easily cost you a few thousand Baht.) An air-con taxi ride, of course, is most convenient after an exhausting long-haul flight; however, as anywhere else in Thailand, be aware of rip-offs.
As with most taxis in Thailand, except for "taxi meters" in Bangkok, you will have to negotiate a price with the chauffeur (which includes pseudo-"taxi meters" at the airport.) In general, anything between 1,000 and 1,800 Baht should be enough to get you to Pattaya.
