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.
Suvarnabhumi to Pattaya price by vehicle
| Vehicle | Passengers | Large bags | Price per trip |
|---|---|---|---|
| BEV Sedan | 3 | 2 | 1,400 THB |
| BEV SUV | 3 | 3 | 1,500 THB |
| Toyota Camry | 3 | 3 | 1,900 THB |
| Toyota Fortuner | 4 | 4 | 1,900 THB |
| Toyota HiAce Commuter | 10 | 8 | 2,500 THB |
| Hyundai H-1 | 5 | 6 | 2,900 THB |
First, prices are per vehicle, not per person. They include the driver, fuel, tolls and airport parking. In addition, the same price covers Jomtien, Bang Saen, Si Racha and Laem Chabang. For an Alphard, V-Class or a larger group, however, we quote by route.
Which vehicle fits your group?
- 1 to 3 people with up to 2 bags: the BEV Sedan is the lowest price, so it is the usual choice.
- 3 people with 3 bags: a BEV SUV, or a Toyota Camry instead.
- 4 people with 4 bags: the Toyota Fortuner.
- 5 to 10 people, or 2 or more child seats: the Toyota HiAce Commuter. Child seats are also available at 300 THB each.
Private car, intercity bus or taxi?
| Private car with driver | Intercity bus | Public taxi | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Where you start | Floor 2, Gate 3: someone is waiting for you | Level 1, Gate 8 | Level 1, Gates 4 to 7 |
| How you pay | One fixed price per vehicle, agreed before you land | A ticket per person | Per taxi |
So for a family, a group or a business trip, a private car is often simpler: one price for the whole group, agreed in advance, and someone waiting at the gate.
How the pick-up works
- First, send your flight number when you book, at least 24 hours ahead.
- Clear immigration and customs, then walk out on Floor 2.
- Meet our representative at Gate 3. They hold a sign with one name and then walk you to the car.
- Relax on the motorway. Every car also carries drinking water and cold towels.
We track your flight, so if you land early or late, your Suvarnabhumi to Pattaya pickup moves with it at no extra charge.
Going from Don Mueang instead?
From Don Mueang, however, the same trip to Pattaya costs 1,800 THB for a BEV Sedan, 2,400 THB for a Toyota Camry and 3,100 THB for a Toyota HiAce Commuter. Instead, we meet you at Gate 5 (international) or Gate 11 (domestic).
