Time of day does not matter. Bangkok meter taxis are roughly 5.50 baht per km for longer distances. Suvarnabhumi to Pattaya is about 130km; that should make the cost 715 baht. Add a bit for initial meter start rate and some for slow traffic. 800 baht would be a good estimate. This does not include tolls on Bangkok express roads.

I have read on another forum that there is a bus going 3 times a day to pattaya from the new airport but the last one leaves at 3 or 4pm so you will miss those..I was actually going to start a similar thread about this because i will be going to patts from the new airport in Dec....
I arrive at 18.50 so i also will be too late for the bus...
I expect a taxi to be cheaper as the new airport is closer to pattaya than the old one(i think,correct me if im wrong?).

I was qouted by my hotel in patts 2000b to pick me up...... .They must think i was born yesterday.....

Not sure where the original thread is but i called Mr T on the recommendation of a couple of BMs. It was late so i called his mobile. Does he actually speak english? We couldn't arrange anything due to communication problems.

AFAIK, the fare from Airport-Pattaya is a 'contracted' price agreed at the outset, and does not go off the meter.

I've read that the official meter-taxi price to Pattaya is 1050 baht (1100 baht to Jomtien) plus the 60 baht highway ("motorway" or "expressway") toll. But there seems to be some "upwards drift" in prices in the past few weeks.

It would be good to get a report from a BM who has taken a taxi from the Airport to Pattaya in the past couple of weeks.

I have been in touch with Mr T (by email) and he has quoted me 1200baht to Jomtien so I have arranged for him to meet me and my lady at the airport as it seemed an o.k. price being as I dont get into Bangkok until 10.00pm.

He may have done. I got his details from an earlier thread. As i said though, there was some communication problem. Probably best to drop an email as Les did.
