About Pannipa Pattaya Tour

Company Information

Pannipa Pattaya Tour is a minivan service that operates on the Bangkok to Pattaya route. The operator’s schedule and cheap tickets make it a popular choice with travellers on all budgets.

Routes served by Pannipa Pattaya Tour

Bangkok–Pattaya

Pannipa Pattaya Tour offers just one route – connecting the capital city of Bangkok with the incredibly popular tourist destination of Pattaya.

There are six services throughout the day from Bangkok to Pattaya with tickets available for just THB190 for the three hour trip. There is the same number of departures each day headed in the opposite direction, from Pattaya back to the capital. These services leave between 06.00 and 19.00 in both directions so there should be a departure which suits you.

Pros

There is a good range of departure times on Pannipa Pattaya Tour services connecting Bangkok with Pattaya. The 06.00 service could be perfect for those who have a lunchtime flight from one of Bangkok’s airports, whether it is from Suvarnabhumi Airport or Don Mueang International Airport.

Similarly, if you need to arrive into Bangkok to catch a connecting bus or train then the generous timetable offered by Pannipa Pattaya Tour can be useful when planning your journey. If you have a trip booked from Pattaya then it can be helpful to arrive in the city by 09.00, so Pannipa Pattaya Tour could be an ideal choice for you.

Cons

The range of routes offered by Pannipa Pattaya Tour is clearly extremely limited, this can be a hassle if you are arranging further transport as you will have to look for another operator for this stage of the trip. It can also work out more expensive to use several providers. It would be helpful if Pannipa Pattaya Tour also offered services to destinations such as Ayutthaya or Kanchanaburi which would be popular routes from Bangkok.

The other main issue with travelling with Pannipa Pattaya Tour is the operator’s use of minivans which are often a lot more cramped and uncomfortable compared to the larger buses that are used on some routes. This is especially problematic if you are travelling with quite a lot of luggage as space is extremely limited inside the minivan and it may be the case that you will have to pay for an extra ticket for your bags as they will take up a seat that could be used by another paying passenger. Even if you do not have to pay any additional fees for your luggage, minivans are best avoided if you have several bags as it will guarantee an uncomfortable journey and you probably will not be too popular with your fellow passengers!

Keep in mind

If you have a flight to catch from one of the airports in Bangkok it is worth remembering that it will probably take at least an hour from the bus terminal so make sure you have allowed for enough time when planning your trip.

Travellers Reviews

Passengers choose Pannipa Pattaya Tour largely on the range of departure times throughout the day and the low cost of tickets. However, the operator is obviously only an option for those looking to travel between Bangkok and Pattaya, if you are not making this trip then unfortunately Pannipa Pattaya Tour cannot help. The lack of choice on routes that the operator offers is clearly an issue and means that passengers will have to do more planning and potentially spend more money when researching their trip. Given the choice, most people would probably prefer to book all of their transport through the same provider as it is far less hassle and ensures you can spend time planning the more interesting aspects of your trip!

All okay thanks.

Even though I booked separately 2 extra luggage seats, there was no space left and I had to discuss with the operator. I am glad they let me go.

I booked a luggage seat as instructed, then a group booking of 12 people all with unpaid luggage got on. The van was overbooked. I was then put in the position of an angry driver screaming at me in a language I don't understand and a group of 12 people trying to move my bag to the front of the bus while they all kept their own bags close. I didn't need to be fluent in Thai to understand that if I didn't move the bag, the driver was going to drag both me and the bag off the van. I'm not going to get in a physical altercation in Thailand - especially over a £5 van ticket. Successful in the sense we did leave on time and arrive on time - I would recommend buying your ticket from the provider directly, at least then when you are at the van point there will be someone there willing to step in and help you out if there are any luggage problems.

End station was different, but all was okay. I didn't need any insurance, but one was added automatically during the online booking, confusing in my opinion.

The van is more like a mini bus, but the air conditioner is very poor so it is very warm to travel during the day, the worst is the flexibility in time, we waited 1.5hrs from our departure time not to include we being there 45min earlier, while another group of travellers simply being rejected to board their van booked 2hrs earlier as it was full already, the seats are simply assigned to others and subject to first come first served, so you might need to wait for the next one, which time is not confirmed as the van departs only when it is relatively full

Trip booked wasn’t existing - we got reallocated to a trip one hour later than initially scheduled. Unfortunately, we knew about this when we arrived to Pattaya Pannipa, not earlier causing us to loose unnecessary time. We would not recommend it.

Worked as expected. The minibus departed a little early, since all booked passengers were on board. Just fine, since the traffic were a bklit heavy (as always). Working AC. No problems.

The mini-van ride from pattaya to bangkok was ok. The van was not very clean. It should have been sanitized with covid. Compare to taking the bus. It seem the mini-van was faster. I think would take the bus for more comfort.

Not the best experience. Van was late to depart by 30 minutes. The van condition is also quite run down and unkept. But it did its job nonetheless to take me to where I want to go. Could be improved especially with van condition.

I bought a van ride from 12:00-15:00 and when I got there they told me because of traffic jam I would leave at 13:00. Then when van came they boarded all locals waiting with me and told me to wait. Then 13:30 bus came and same thing, boarded all locals told me to wait. I complained. They said 10 minutes for my bus, finally at 15:00 they boarded me and I get to my destination 3.5 hours late. They overbook and make foreigners wait.

I booked a trip at 12pm but I was told that van is full and next one is gonna leave at 2.30pm. However we got it sort out that we departed around 12.45 so had a little time in pattaya. Return trip was better and less hassless.

The transport was okay and had air conditioning which was nice. The driver however seemed quite hostile towards me yet happy and smiley with locals. Maybe it's because he isn't too find of Westeners?

Punctuality is not a strong feature of this company, not once during our trip did we leave on time. When we were standing near the bus, another one decided to park next to us. I saw that, started to move away so as not to disturb him, but there were still people in front of me. The bus driver began to painfully push me with his hand in the back so that I would move away. It was unpleasant.

Didn’t leave until 30 mins late which meant we arrived 30 mins late. We then got dumped at the side of the road no where near our destination but the bus did have aircon and seat was comfortable.

Was all right. Meeting place in Pattaya looked more like a living room. The van was also no longer the newest. But the driver has tried everything to be on time.

we book 10am , and they require to check in 45 mins before departure. this is unreasonable, so i arrived at 9:40, and then i wait uitil 10:45 for next van. one more ticket required for 2 luggages. the seat is small, you can’t strecth your legs. won’t recommand this.

Driver could not speak English. Mostly Thai people used this shuttle bus & many requested different drop off location than written, but still within the route. In the end I was dropped off at BTS Mochit which was closer to my accommodation.

Easy to redeem. If all the passangers are ready in the van, they can go before the boarding time. The van is comfy and clean. Thank you

The adress war not clear an so not easy to find in Pattaya (without house-number); this for a taxidriver too!! The organisation war notz clear. It has been not clear until the start, if all booked travelers would come in the bus. There were many confussion. And the bus start 40 minutes later. The travel self is ok, but I can't give more the 2 points!!

2 hours away. The air conditioning was working. We drove without stopping. We left an hour late, but we were warned about it in advance on the spot.

The ride is ok, the minivan came to pick up on time. Because of less traffic for the 7 pm trip, we were able to arrive at morchit before 10 pm, which is a big plus. However, when I boarded the van, it was pretty full, and the operator told me to get off the van and let another guy board the van. Of course, I could not understand Thai, and got off the van for 1 min. Then somehow, the lady worked out a plan for me to get on. Thank God I was not left there. Therefore, if you are foreigners who do not speak Thai, I would recommend taking a regular bus.

The price we bought from 12go is more expensive than the onsite price. The counter to change the voucher to tickets was far and difficult to find because it's very small. The van departure was also late. Both driver and the guide were difficult to communicate in English. I thought its still better to take the bus than the van to go to Pattaya.

Bought ticket to depart at 7pm from the operator office. However, the van was late and the local operator office staffs claimed van will only come at 8pm, as if it's not their fault and it's the booking company's fault. Van came at around 7.30pm. The van was very cramped and the driver stopped by at Bangna's petrol oil station to refill petrol (seriously? You expect your passengers to wait 15 min for you to refill petrol and not before your pick up the passengers?), the worst moments because they turned off the AC and it was already cramped inside. Not ideal for claustrophobic people. Just get the freaking normal bus that is 50 baht cheaper and much more spacious and professional! The only good things were that the van was quite new and we are allowed to be dropped off at other places along the way (eg. Mochit BTS instead of the original bus terminal stop that is more convenient).
