Getting to Pattaya

Most arrivals reach Pattaya by road from Bangkok or Suvarnabhumi Airport. U-Tapao lies south of the city, while bus and rail options need a separate transfer to your hotel.

Getting to Pattaya

Why go

Compare the whole journey, including its final leg. Bangkok’s road links feed into Sukhumvit Road and the motorway approach to Pattaya. U-Tapao is closer to the city but its flight and onward transport choices differ. Buses can arrive at a terminal away from your hotel, and Pattaya’s railway station is inland.

Useful to know

  • Check current bus terminals, rail times and airport transfers before relying on a connection.
  • Keep your hotel address and district ready for the final ride from a station or airport.
  • Allow a separate local transfer when arriving by bus or rail with luggage.
