Can someone please advise what the current rate should be for the journey by taxi from Bangkok to Pattya? Should this also be agreed before entering the vehicle?
Many thanks

Abslolute maximum of 1500 Baht and this should include all express way toll fees.
Definitely agree the price first.
The return fare is rather cheaper, 800 baht plus 130 for tolls (if desired) because many Bangkok taxis are keen to cover their costs on the journey home. |

| Not organising anything last week, I emerged from the airport and actually let a tout finish his sentence. He said the price was 1500 including tolls. I told him I never pay more than 1200, bit of a fib as it was my first time. "OK 1200 include tolls". Going back Meter Taxi 800 including tolls, mind you he managed to get lost! |

I also paid 1200, including tolls.
I have also got a card from the guy who took me back for 800B, he charges 1200 from Bangkok for some reason.

| Good point Costas, because unless you emphasize that you wish to take the sky way many of those cheap bastards stick to ground floor route eventhough your negotiated fare included toll fees. |

Generally I spend my first few days in Bangkok, and then rely on the Dynasty Inn free shuttle bus to get me to Pattaya.
This time round I needed to get to Pattaya in a hurry so after reading numerous ladyboy & Pattaya forums and seeing many mixed reports about alot of the transport operators, I decided on Jan whose business card appears below.
Jan was waiting for me in the arrivals area of the new airport (sign in hand), and moments later we were on the way to Pattaya at lightning speed !
Whilst the price was 1600 Baht (Yes I know this is on the high side), the service was excellent, and I would use this Thai lady again.
Cheers
