Taxi & Transfers from Pattaya to Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK)

How to Get from Pattaya to Suvarnabhumi Airport

By Taxi

Taxis from Pattaya to Bangkok airport are easy to book. Hotels, apps, or even drivers on the street — options are everywhere.

The ride takes about 75 minutes. It’s just over 120 kilometers. Most drivers quote 1,000 to 2,700 THB, depending on car size, time of day, and whether tolls are included. Some may try to upsell, so confirming the full fare upfront helps. And yes, cash works best.

If you use apps like Grab or Bolt, double-check that the pickup spot is clear. Drivers might not know smaller hotel names.

Private Transfer

This is the easiest way to get to the airport without checking your watch every ten minutes.

Kiwitaxi provides a transfer service from any address in Pattaya to Suvarnabhumi. You pick your car type, the price is fixed, and the driver arrives on time. A name sign at pickup. A quiet, air-conditioned ride. And no detours. Cost starts around 1,000 THB and goes up with extra features like pet-friendly service or added stops.

By Bus

The Roong Reuang Coach buses run straight from Pattaya to the airport. They’re budget-friendly and comfortable.

Transfer with Children

Kids, bags, early flights — not a great combo.

Kiwitaxi lets you book child seats in advance. That way, the car shows up ready. No phone calls, no stress, just one smooth ride to the airport.

Transfer with Pets

Buses don’t take animals. And taxis? Hit or miss.

With Kiwitaxi, you can request a pet-friendly vehicle when booking. It’s a safe, planned ride for both of you — no arguing, no last-minute changes.

What to See Before Leaving Pattaya

Still have an hour before your ride? Head to the viewpoint on Pratumnak Hill. You’ll get a full look at the curve of Pattaya Bay — and maybe even spot your hotel from above.

Or just grab a mango smoothie from a beach stall and walk the shoreline one last time. Even after all the noise and movement, the sea here still feels calm.

Pattaya leaves you with contrast — busy streets, quiet beaches, bright signs, and simple views. A strange, good mix that stays with you even after you’re gone.
