But i can only recomend bangkok air, very good service and no problems with overweight, have done the trip 7 times from 24/11-04 to 24/02-05 and last time i had 55kg and just got a smile at check inn, the price is around 2600 for one way and it takes 1.1/2 hour. And it only takes me 20 min to get to the airpot(20 km) so no change i'm going to bangkok for a phuket flight

So, you think the easiest and most effective in terms of cost way to go from pattaya to patong will be through u tapao airport with bangkok air?? as you describe it it's sth around 3000..which means sth like -1000bht to try the BKK - Phuket option??how would you rate Bangkok airways?
