Phuket to Pattaya Destination Reviews

Clean the bathroom. VIP is next to it. If the door is left open even briefly, the entire VIP section will smell like a port a poty a concert until it airs out. There are 3 usable seats for tall people in that section (back row fyi). Only 1 charging port worked in the entire area. Could have been worse, but could be so much better if they maintained the vehicle.

Flight delayed slightly due to late passengers. We'll looked after my flight attendants- even served food. Rayong airport was excellent. No other flights landed. Baggage off quickly and got a grab to hotel which took around 30 mins and cost about 600 baht.
