For transport from Bangkok (both airport and hotel) I've always used Mr Toom and he's never let me down yet. His business is based in Bangkok. An efficient service and friendly drivers. You can email him at [email protected]

No disrespect to reflections at all however, I find it highly amusing when guys like us are spending a small fortune on shagging ladyboys in the P4P biz, buying drinks, paying bar fines and yet some how manage to get into a tiz about paying 500 baht too much for a taxi ride between Bangkok & Pattaya
Sorry I picked on your thread/post to vent my thoughts on this old chestnut reflections.
Virtually every cab in Bangkok shall take you to Pattaya for around 1500 Baht.

sorry Pentire that you dont like the fact that I dont want to get ripped off ok? next time you come to Miami I hope some Hatian taxi driver who has beenin the country for three days takes you all over from the airport by way of China before you get to Miami Beach. How the fuck do I know what it costs after especially reading a thread somewhere stating that some drivers on the street try to rip you off. Thanks Beavis and thank you Butthead I mean pentire

   No need to have a tizzy fit reflections.  

Pentire was just pointing out an undeniable fact.  If you had bothered to read the forum a little, and learned to use the search function, you would have easily found out the best modes of transport and the price you should have paid for it.  Grow up you

Mr reflections, that is a little uncalled for! Pentire was only stated a fact, and not venting a personal attack on you!
So fucking grow up

Hey Reflections, Get A Life! Don't pick a fight with a fellow LB Lover who is only venting an issue about a situation in LOS. Additionally a fellow LB Lover who has more experiance in LOS and with LB's than most of us...

A cheap way of getting from Sukumvit Road to Pattaya is to take the skytrain (BTS) to Ekamai. Then bus to Pattaya (they leave at half hour intervals). At Pattaya take a baht bus to your hotel.
Very easy approx 160 baht all told.
I take this route because I like to - not shortage of cash !. More interesting.

Jesus...from the Landmark walk around to Soi 4...There are several taxi stands that will take you to Pattaya for 1200 baht all in...

But you had better learn to control your anger before you arrive in LOS or you're gonna get your ass fucked in a big way...and not by a ladyboy...

.....sure the best way if you not have too much baggage...! but if you have, don't pack it under the bus, firend's do that, and never see'n theyr case again...!

and the bus-driver know nothing.....???

Personally I like to take any potential pain out of things like that by

a) being nice to the hotel front of house staff
and
b) getting them to deal with it for me, getting a fair price

sorry Pentire I should not have lost my cool

Bus from Ekamai goes to pattaya non-stop plus they do give you a ticket for your baggage..so there is in not much chance of your baggage going missing...I used this bus many times with no problem..
AND i use this servis not to save money, for me i feel safer in the bus then going by car...
