Travel within the City

Minibuses (songthaews)

There are minibuses offering transportation services all day and night running parallel to Pattaya beach and going round to Pattaya Second Road including Jomtien Beach and Naklua Market. At present, minibuses in Pattaya City run without fixed stops. Thus, before travelling by a minibus, inquire about a fare from the driver or tell him/her your destination first. The fare for a short distance is 5 baht and ranges from 10-20 baht for a longer distance (may be as high as 40 baht for Khao Phra Bat). A minimum fare of 350 baht may be charged for hiring a minibus to go around various points (depending on places and distances). There are three main roads linking several points of Pattaya City namely North Pattaya Road,Central Pattaya Road and South Pattaya Road with small roads present in several lanes. Some roads are famous for restaurants and food shops such as Soi Yamato or Soi Post Office.endpage Fare Rates depending on distances Distance Fare (Baht) Pattaya City - Jomtien Beach 20 Pattaya City - Naklua 20 Pattaya City - Bus Station 20 Jomtien Beach - Bus Station 30 Jomtien Beach - Central Pattaya 20 Jomtien Beach - Bic C 20 Note : If you have problems with regard to minibus services, remember the ID number of that minibus and call 038-429216 to lodge your complaint.endpage Distances from Muang District to various districts of Chonburi Province Bang Bung 14 kilometers Phanat Nikhom 22 kilometers Phan Thong 24 kilometers Sri Racha 24 kilometers Ko Sichang 35 kilometers Bang Lamung 45 kilometers Sattahip 86 kilometers Bo Thong 56 kilometers Nong Yai 51 kilometers
