Arrival
From Suvarnabhumi Airport - the official meter-taxi price to Pattaya is approx 1050 baht plus the 60 baht highway ("motorway" or "expressway") toll. Allow around 90 minutes in favourable conditions.
Scams to watch out for when headed for Bangkok by taxi include being told that the pre-paid price is fully inclusive, but then, on arrival at the first toll booth, being told that the expressway fees are extra.
We also can arrange to have you met at the airport gate by a personal driver with a limousine, thus avoiding the need to negotiate with taxi drivers. The price will be approx. 1500 Baht. Price on request.
