Route and travel time to Pattaya
Phra Khanong lies in the east or south-east of Bangkok and therefore close to Motorway 7 (Bang Na–Chon Buri), the direct expressway to Pattaya. This often makes the route a little shorter than from the inner city, usually around two hours for about 120 kilometres, depending on traffic. The private transfer has a fixed price from $53, set before booking. Instead of changing vehicles, you travel with no stops right to your hotel in Pattaya.
