Pattaya to Bangkok Destination Reviews

I was kicked off 10 km before my arrival station on BOTH my trips the operators were shouting at me in Thai because I can’t speak Thai but they were forcing me off 10km before my arrival stations… the operator was also so so late he departed 1 hour later than the said departure time

I arrived at the Jomtien night market at 15:30 (departure was supposed to be at 16). A minute later the transport arrived. Bus is outdated, this is especially noticeable inside the cabin. It was very cold in the front rows because of the air conditioning, the temperature in the cabin was only 19 degrees. The driver doesn’t speak English, please use a translator. There was one short stop (toilet/shop). Finally I was at the Ekkamai bus station at 20:03.

Pattaya - Bangkok Started on time, picked up some people. Made a break 45' minutes before stop in Bangkok. Arrived only 15' late due to traffic. Bus is old, but airconditioned & driver was good.

Not necessarily Great, but close. 45 minute late departure can end up being inconvenient for some. Overall I had no problems with the service, it (eventually) did what it was supposed to do.

Great quick direct transfer from pattaya to bangkok with a few options where to get off. Great alternative to taxi which will save you lots of money for a similar travel time. I would use again. Thanks

Van arrived on time but our trip left 30mins later than supposed schedule. There was an area for most of the luggages in front, right next to the driver which was good.

How to get from Pattaya to Bangkok by Van

Van is a convenient option to get from Pattaya to Bangkok. Van tickets are affordable, vans are generally do a faster job than buses, vans offer a good choice of departures.

Depending on the van type, each vehicle can accommodate between 12 and 15 passengers. Yet an evident drawback of travelling by van is limited space for the luggage. In most cases you will need to keep your bags, backpacks or suitcases under your seat or in the aisle. Thus van is not the best choice if you travel with huge luggage. F this is the case, consider buying a separate ticket for your bags or choose bus instead.

On certain routes, vans are your only choice of transportation as no buses, trains or flights are available between those destinations.

It is a popular question whether it is necessary to book van tickets in advance. Though some routes feature a lot of departures, we still highly recommend booking your seat especially if you are going to take one of the last vans of the day; travelling during weekends, public holidays or busy tourist seasons; are in a group of two or more and want to travel on the same van.

Here is the list of companies that run regular vans between Pattaya and Bangkok and offer tickets for online booking.

How far is from Pattaya to Bangkok?

Vans follow the same routes as buses do. Thus the driving distance between Pattaya and Bangkok will be about 50 km. Some vans do not take the shortest route to Bangkok and make detours to pick up and drop off passengers en route. If this is the case, it will result in a longer travel time – you can see it when choosing your ticket.

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

Most vans need from 1h to 2h 10m hours to get from Pattaya to Bangkok Note though that travel time depends greatly on traffic conditions. Traffic can be dense around the rush hour at both your departure point and destination. Weather conditions – e.g. heavy rain – often result in longer travel time, too.

Before booking your van tickets, check how long the trip with each operator takes as some vans follow longer routes to Bangkok or make detours.

Also, it is important to know that van companies that accept online booking offer scheduled van departures; yet there are also some vans which depart only when full, and in certain cases the waiting period can be long. Thus choosing an operator that runs vans on a set schedule is always a better idea.

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

When using a van, the fare or ticket price for travelling from Pattaya to Bangkok is pre-computed. This usually includes toll fees, gas and other overheads. But, it is recommended to read the details and ask for clarifications when this is not clear at the onset.

Pre-computed fares for vans can be expensive but unlike buses and trains; you would not need to buy a ticket for each passenger. For a big group of 12 or more people, this translates to huge savings compared to getting multiple taxis.

This makes it a cheap option for travelling when in groups. The van service will also not charge extra for bags and luggage, as long as it fits inside the van.

If you are a group, you can consolidate your schedules and use just one van. Check out above Pattaya to Bangkok timetable for van services.

Best Rated Companies for this Route

Getting a van service for your group can offer extra space, comfort and convenience not found in other transport options. Unlike taxis or buses which have numerous trips per day, a van service is usually scheduled. But some van services do follow a scheduled departure time. Please check our listings for such services.

Having your entire group together for a long trip can add to the enjoyment. This can allow your group to discuss and even sing to your heart's content without fear of bothering others.

Just like taxis, the advantage of travelling by van is that you can ask the driver to stop by stores, supermarkets and other establishments. You can stop anywhere at any time since you are basically renting the van and not just paying for taxi fare. You can use this opportunity to take epic groupie pics at local landmarks and tourist spots.

Vans are especially useful when travelling with large and sensitive equipment like photography setups and large computers. Trunks and compartments might not be a safe holding area for fragile packages. Placing them inside the roomy and well-padded interior of van will make it more secure and safe.
