Zing Resort & Spa is in Jomtien in the south of Pattaya and is popular with budget-conscious travellers looking for a calmer stretch of beach. A fixed-price transfer from Bangkok brings you to the resort with no changes along the way.
The route from the airport to Pattaya
Most travellers land at Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK). From there it is around two hours by motorway to South Pattaya in the Jomtien district. If you arrive via Don Mueang (DMK), allow about two and a half hours, as the drive goes around the north of Bangkok. From U-Tapao (UTP) in the east, Pattaya is quickest to reach at roughly 45 minutes. The private transfer has a fixed price from $53, set before booking, and includes up to 90 minutes of waiting time at the airport. Instead of haggling at the taxi rank, you step straight into a waiting vehicle and travel to the Zing Resort & Spa with no stops.
Location and surroundings of Zing Resort & Spa
Jomtien lies south of the centre and is known for its long, more relaxed beach. Zing Resort offers a large pool landscape at a fair price and suits travellers who prefer calm over bustle.
Who Zing Resort & Spa suits
Budget-conscious travellers and families looking for a calmer beach in Jomtien are in the right place. As Jomtien lies a little further south, a direct transfer is more pleasant than multiple changes.
Vehicle and price for the transfer
For the trip to the Zing Resort & Spa, vehicles for 1 to 19 people are available, from an economy car through comfort and minivan to a minibus for groups. The luggage capacity is shown per vehicle class during booking, and child seats can be requested. The price is a fixed price with no meter, and cancellation is free depending on the vehicle class. That way you know what the transfer to Pattaya costs before you even travel.
Meeting point and pick-up at the airport
At Suvarnabhumi (BKK) you meet your driver in the arrivals hall on Level 2, near Arrival Gate 3. After baggage claim and customs, keep to the right; the driver waits with a sign showing your name. For the trip to the Zing Resort & Spa, enter the hotel name and full address in Pattaya when booking so the driver knows the destination. The driver's direct phone number is in your booking confirmation.
Good to know for your arrival
For flight delays under 30 minutes the driver adjusts the arrival automatically; beyond that, the 90 minutes of free waiting time at the airport help. Night arrivals are no problem either, as transfers run around the clock. Keep your flight number and the address of Zing Resort & Spa to hand, and the arrival in Pattaya will go smoothly.
