We were informed when we arrived at the station that the bus we had booked tickets for was unsold, so we had to wait over an hour for the next one to arrive. Due to the delay, we ended up arriving in Bangkok 2 hours later than planned.

HM
Booked a Mini-Bus, but then there was only a Van with less capacity and we were 'rebooked' for one hour later. Actually the delay turned out to be a blessing, since finally we actually did travel in a Mini-Bus -- much more comfortable than in the completely stuffed Van. (Therefore still 3 stars, otherwise it would be only 2.)

Do you need a car to get around Bangkok?

Getting around Bangkok is convenient without a car, thanks to its extensive public transportation network. The BTS Skytrain and MRT subway are efficient ways to navigate the city, covering most major areas and attractions. Fares typically range from 16 to 59 THB ($0.45 to $1.65).

Taxis are also widely available, with fares starting at 35 THB ($1) for the first kilometer. Ride-hailing services like Grab provide additional options. Tuk-tuks offer a more traditional experience, though fares should be negotiated beforehand, generally costing between 100 to 300 THB ($3 to $8) for short distances.

Traffic congestion is common, so public transport is often faster. Walking is suitable for exploring neighborhoods like Sukhumvit and Silom. Car rentals are available but not necessary for most visitors, and parking can be challenging.

Which part of Bangkok is best to stay in?

Sukhumvit is popular for its vibrant nightlife, shopping, and dining options, making it ideal for those seeking a lively atmosphere. Accommodation ranges from budget hostels to luxury hotels.

Silom is the financial district, offering a mix of business and leisure with its proximity to Lumpini Park and street markets.

For a more cultural experience, consider staying in the historic district around the Chao Phraya River, which provides access to landmarks such as the Grand Palace and Wat Pho. The area has charming boutique hotels and traditional guesthouses.

Lastly, Khao San Road is known for budget accommodations and a backpacker's vibe.

Prices for hotels vary: budget options start at around 1,000 THB ($28) per night, while mid-range hotels range from 2,000-4,000 THB ($55-$110).

Always consider proximity to public transport like the BTS Skytrain or MRT for easy city navigation.

Is Pattaya better than Bangkok for shopping?

Pattaya offers a range of shopping experiences, including malls like Central Festival and Pattaya Night Bazaar for local goods. Prices can be competitive, with street markets providing bargains on clothing and souvenirs. Bangkok, however, is renowned for its vast shopping scene, featuring luxury malls like Siam Paragon and CentralWorld, and the famous Chatuchak Weekend Market with thousands of stalls. Prices in Bangkok vary widely, from high-end to budget-friendly street markets.

For a focused shopping trip, Bangkok provides more variety and scale. However, Pattaya can be more relaxed and convenient, especially if you prefer combining shopping with beach activities. Both cities have their merits, so the choice depends on whether you seek a more extensive shopping environment or a more leisurely coastal experience.

How to get from Pattaya to Bangkok

The distance from Pattaya to Bangkok is 150 km and it takes between 2 and 3 hours to get there whichever means of transport you choose. Big buses are the cheapest way to get to Bangkok with tickets starting from THB130 one-way. They all leave from Pattaya Northern Bus Station and head to all the three different Bus Terminals in Bangkok. Vans can be faster and slightly more expensive but may come handy as there are several van stations throughout the city – there can be one right next to your hotel, too. The most expensive way to travel is to take a taxi. They are great for door-to-door trips and are priced quite reasonably (from THB1,700). If you are travelling as a group consider ordering a private van for 9 passengers which can cost anywhere between THB2,400 and THB4,000. There are direct buses from Pattaya to Suvarnabhumi airport from 6am till 9pm.
