How long the drive takes

From Suvarnabhumi, the driver goes straight onto Motorway 7, so you don’t need to cross Bangkok. The trip from Suvarnabhumi to Pattaya is about 120 km and takes roughly 1.5 hours without traffic. However, the real time depends on traffic on the day, so allow extra time if you have a dinner or a meeting booked.
