WELCOME TO ARRIVE AND SURVIVE WITH LOK8RBOUTIQUE.
PATTAYA BUS STATION, THAILAND.

EASY TO USE AND CLEAN...PATTAYA BUS STATION.

Pattaya Bus Station is situated on North Pattaya Road very close to its junction with Sukhumvit Road. It's a few KM away from the Beach and main Shopping Area.
If you're planning a trip to Bangkok, or you're you've got itchy feet and are in the mood for a spot of travelling, you'll probably need to get to Bangkok for the Airport or Train or Bus Stations then you 'll probably be using this Bus Station, PATTAYA AIR CONDITIONED BUS TERMINAL .
As Bus Stations go this is one of my favourites , it's really easy to use for arrivals to Pattaya or departures from Pattaya. It's clean modern and simple to use.
It can be a little difficult to get here as it's not that well served by a direct route service, but it's not too far and not so difficult!

DEPARTURES FROM PATTAYA.
It can be a liittle bit tricky getting here mainly because Song Tauw drivers want to charge you 100 Baht each, too much!, a normal Song Tauw will take you to North Pattaya Road from the Center of Pattaya for 20 Baht and then a short tip along North Pattaya Road will cost 10 Baht.
Once you're here you'll find the Ticket Booking Office on Your left and the Destinations are all clearly marked. Ekamai, Morchit Going North or North East Thailand !, Southern Bus Terminal all points South Thailand, Phuket, Samui etc.
the facilities are very good in Pattaya Bus Station.
TOILETS. The toilets are excellent, very clean and well looked after, wash basins and toilets are very very clean. Fresh smelling too! They're at the end of the seating area next to the cafe.
ATM's There are several situated just outside the Bus Station.
FOOD & DRINK. Again there is a nice little cafe at the end of the station close to the toilets.There's a very good coffee shop serving a good selection of nice coffee and drinks! There are also a couple of little kiosks selling a variety of food and snacks.
CONVENIENCE SHOPS. In the station is a good little shop selling a variety of snacks and drinks.
PUBLIC TELEPHONES. There's a bank of tlephones very close to the seating area.
SEATING & WAITING. There's ample seating (usually) and they are all in rows facing the electronic departure board.
Once you've got your ticket the area where the buses leave from is only a very short stroll around the corner, it's to the right of the ticket counter, head towards the convenience shop. Everything is easy and simple as it is only a small Bus Station, Look at the departue Board and you'll find your bus, number and destination,leaving tome a Bus Stop or gate number. Easy as pie!
Have a great Trip!

This is again fairly and simple and not too much of a hassle. The bus usually will stop and drop you off in front of the ticket booking Office.

HOTELS. You have a good choice in Pattaya, we are preparing a blog on some great boutique hotels that offer Affordable Quality , coming your way soon!!

Usually it can be tricky finding your way around a new town or city, it's not too bad getting from the bus station, your choices are a little limited.

SONG TAUW. This is a great way to get into Pattaya cheaply, jump into the back of you pick up with two benx ch seats and squeeze up as the other passengers get on board! Good Fun! It will cost 20 Baht each to get you to Pattaya beach and/or shopping Mall. You can get to Jontiem for 30 Baht each. Prices may vary if you want dropping at your hotel it can be 50 baht + to central Pattya Hotels.
MOTO-CY TAXI. Not a bad choice if you're travelling light or by yourself! Around 50 Baht for a short trip.

Generally you shouldn't find it too difficult, the traffic is usually OK it can get very busy at Peak Holiday times!
Have a good Stay in Pattaya!
