Route and travel time to Pattaya
Prawet 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.

Comparing your travel options
From Prawet there are basically several ways to reach Pattaya: the public intercity bus from the Ekkamai or Mo Chit terminals, sometimes a train with an onward connection, or the private door-to-door transfer. Bus and train are cheap, but first require getting to the terminal, fixed departure times and usually another taxi to the hotel in Pattaya. The private transfer picks you up directly in Prawet and takes you to your accommodation without changing, which is especially convenient with luggage or in a group.
