Getting into Pattaya

Worth knowing about Pattaya
- Most visitors arrive at Suvarnabhumi, about 120 km away, and take the airport bus - roughly an hour and a half on Motorway 7 - rather than flying into Pattaya's own airport.
- U-Tapao, the nearer airport at about 45 minutes' drive south, is in Ban Chang district of Rayong province rather than in Pattaya itself, and it is a dual-use civil-military field.
- Only one train a day links Pattaya with Bangkok's Hualamphong station on the Eastern Line, so rail is not a practical arrival route for most schedules.
