Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to get from Bangkok to Pattaya?
It’s about 150 kilometres (94 miles) from Bangkok to Pattaya, and how long it takes to drive between the two does depend on traffic. You’d usually be looking at a max of two hours in off-peak times, but this can be more during rush hour and on Fridays as everyone heads down to Pattaya for the weekend.
Is there a quieter area of Pattaya to stay in?
The northern area of Pattaya is the quietest place to stay. If you enjoy lazing around the pool at your hotel, but would still like to have handy access to the rest of the city then one of the hotels in this area would be perfect.

Expert Tips

“When you are in Pattaya – make time to visit the floating market. It’s the largest one in Thailand, and is such a fun way to get your souvenirs. It’s really easy and affordable to get there – expect to pay around THB 200 (about £5) in a taxi.”

“There is a new ferry service between Pattaya and Hua Hin – perfect for a twin centre holiday”
