Bangkok to Pattaya Destination Reviews

We paid to be dropped off at the north pattaya bus station but the bus driver was picking up other people along the way. He was charging them fare. They paid him to drop them off at other locations. He never ended up going to the bus station, and he just dropped everybody off at a gas station. We were on the bus for four hours. It was the absolute worst experience ever The bus ride should have took 2 hours but instead 4. Worst experience ever!!!

We waited almost two hours for the bus to depart, and my plans were ruined. I definitely wouldn’t recommend it. A journey that should have taken two hours ended up taking five and a half hours. It was a terrible experience.

The trip took 4 hours instead of 2 hours and 45 minutes like it was announced on 12Go.

The hardest part is to know the exact station as the naming is vague, you should easily put the maps link on the detail. It costs us time and effort to reach the real bus station in the opposite direction.

As regularly going from Mochit. The time means absolutely nothing, you may aswell not have a time as the driver will likely leave an hour/hour 15 minutes later. This is ridiculous and too frequent, and I’ve been going to mochit for a long time. I respect the process and how they operate but over an hour waiting is poor.

The van took 1.5 hours to leave. The bus journey itself was fine - but even though I requested to be dropped off at the hotel, the bus driver did not seem concerned to drop me off on a highway 10 mins from the hotel. I then took a taxi to the hotel.

The bus was on time to depart but traffic made the arrival a bit late. The seat was okay for short ride but it would have been too uncomfortable for a longer trip. The driver didn't really announce the stops as Thai people left 2 by 2 at different points but eventually told us we had reached the final stop when he saw the foreigners not getting out.

How to get from Bangkok to Pattaya by van

Vans are a faster alternative to buses; vans usually offer more scheduled departures than buses or other means of transport over the same route; vans may serve the routes not served by buses, trains, or flights. What other reasons do you need to opt for a van? Ah! Very often, they are much more affordable than any other means of transport. Van from Bangkok to Pattaya departs regularly according to the schedule and is a decent option to get to your destination at a reasonable price. Now van tickets can be booked online what makes planning of your trip more convenient. Before you book your van ticket, remember to read other travellers’ reviews on your operator’s service to ensure it meets your expectations.

Currently the following operators can help you to travel from Bangkok to Pattaya by van: .

How far is Bangkok from Pattaya?

How long does it take to get from Bangkok to Pattaya by van?

Vans cover the distance between Bangkok and Pattaya in 1h 45m – 5h 35m hours. Do note that though vans usually stick to their schedule, your journey can take longer if traffic is excessive or the weather is bad. The worst periods in the sense of violation of the timetable is long weekends, national holidays, school vacations and peak season. With roads stuck with traffic do expect delays. Stormy weather with heavy rains or snowfalls can also cause your arrival time to change. Yet in general you can rely on the timing declared by the operator.

How much does it cost to get from Bangkok to Pattaya by van?

Opposite to, say, buses, normally vans do not offer a great variety in the sense of ticket class hence the price of the ticket is the same for all seats in a van. Note that some seats offer more comfort during the ride. E.g. in some vans the passenger seat by the driver is also available. If you are lucky enough to get it, you may have more space and definitely a better view there. Similarly, in some vans seats in the back row may be a disappointment as they do not recline due to the trunk filled with travellers’ luggage.

To hop onto a van between Bangkok and Pattaya expect to pay from USD 13.02 to USD 16.28. The more convenient the ride, the more you pay – either for extra space or for less stops enroute. TravelBusAsia is the cheapest operator on the route while Koh Chang Club is the most expensive one.

Travelling by van essentials

  • Ensure to check carefully from where your van departs. In many cases vans are stationed not at the city main bus station but elsewhere. Individual van operators may have their own van stops located anywhere, and one and the same operator may sell tickets to their vans from different stops. If you are planning a bus-van connection, be sure you understand where to catch your van as it is easy to assume that vans leave from the same station where buses arrive. No, it is not necessarily so!
  • There are different types of vans accommodating from 9 to 15 or more passengers. While on certain routes you have no alternative, on others you can choose. The rule of thumb – fewer seats mean more leg space and more comfort. As well as more money for your ticket. But this is probably the case when it is worth investing into your seat a bit more.
  • Vans accommodating more passengers are often cramped and do not provide any additional space for your luggage. In many cases your ticket will include only one piece of luggage, often with limited weight. If you travel with huge suitcases or backpacks you may want – or even need – to buy an extra seat for your luggage. Before booking an extra seat for your luggage though do check with the operator if they allow it. If you did buy a separate seat for your luggage, and the driver during the way tries to pick up an extra passenger to put on a “vacant” seat, insist on right to use it as you paid for it.
  • There are obviously no on board toilets in vans but if your journey lasts over two or three hours there will normally be one or more bathroom stop(s) enroute. During the bathroom stop, take a note of your van number plate when you get off. It will make it easier for you to find the van among similar vehicles and in an unhappy case (hypothetically!) of van leaving without you, you can at least report it to the operator.
  • Van drivers are notorious for their driving style. Though many companies enforce strict speed limits on their vehicles they are often not observed. This is probably a major downside of van travel in some countries. Anyway, if speed limits are violated do not be shy to ask the driver to go slower. Normally there will be an information plate with the telephone numbers to call if your driver violates traffic rules – report each such case without hesitation. Also, do leave your review if not satisfied with the service to warn other travellers.
  • It is compulsory to use belts for all the van passengers. Even if your driver does not insist on it, use the belt for your own safety. Belts are sometimes fixed behind your seat – do not hesitate to release them and use as they are intended to be used.
  • Many vans do not have scheduled departures but depart when full. Sometimes waiting periods can be long, especially if you happen to come immediately after the previous van has departed or just in the end of the day when there are not so many passengers. Always make sure you understand whether your ticket is for a scheduled trip or otherwise. Normally operators who allow online booking of their tickets, provide scheduled service meaning your van will depart on time no matter how many passengers show up for the trip.
