Yeah I checked the other day, its only 97 baht and it leaves every 2 hours, nice, thanks for the info, glad i found this service.


No worries, One more good point is that they leave on time regardless of how many people are in the van. I thought because there were only two people on board they would delay leaving and wait for more passengers.

Anyway, glad you found it.

Dear smallprawn,
Could you advise how I could take this minivan FROM Bkk to Pattaya? Whereabouts is the station in Bkk?

Tks

Bkkorupcountry, I'm affraid this may be as clear as mud as I hav'nt done the return journey. However,  the mini-vans form Pattaya stop under the skytrain at An-Nut Sawareechai so I asume they depart from the same place.  If you exit skytrain on the same side as shops (opposite side of the road you will see a white government building, I believe its a hospital) Anyway if you come down the steps from the skytrain you're pretty much there and should see a small side road with vendors sitting at tables selling tickets. There are two mini-van depots on this same side of the road abou 100 meters appart. They are both at foot of steps exiting skytrain and Sorry I dont know the name of the company but the one you want is the smaller of the two. Like I said there are only four or five ladies sitting at tables selling tickets. Sorry I cant be more specific but maybe other members here will be able to offer you more info.

Yes it's from North Rd, though Jomptien has it's own station if you happen to be staying there.

Only one company, which owns the station.

Never heard of bags getting stolen, as they don't have "holds" that people can hide away in.

You need to go on the Ekamai bus, but you can get off at On Nut for the skytrain. Not sure if you can get a bag there, if you have stowed it underneath. The skytrain is right by Ekamai.

DON'T take a taxi! It'll take several times longer than the skytrain, and cost a lot more.



thanks for that, very helpful info...cheers all

To OP. This maybe not the info you're after and not sure where you're situated, but I left Pattaya for BKK last week on a modern air conditioned mini-van and it could'nt have been easier, safer or more comfortable. Only two passengers in the van, plenty room to sleep/lie down and took two big bags. Cost 97Bt. If you want to look, head for the end of the Beach road to the entrance of Walking Street and turn left, keep on the left hand side pavement.( alternatively , head for end of 2nd street and turn right). You should see a desk set out on the pavement with 3/4 mini-vans. They leave on the hour every hour, took about 1 hour 45 mins. Very good driver and both my bags sat next to me.
You will arrive in BKK, (An- nut-sawareechai) dirictly under sky train staion.
