Getting Around in Pattaya, Thailand


Pattaya is a very easy city to get around although the busy traffic causes frequent hold-ups at peak times, particularly on the major roads. Unusually, for Thailand, there are no tuk-tuks in Pattaya, so everyone usually gets around on the baht-buses or on motorbike taxis. There are literally hundreds of both all over Pattaya.

Motorbike Taxis ;
Motorbike taxis are a way of life in Pattaya. They are your best bet of getting around if you want to get somewhere quickly or conveniently, particularly at busy times. On every corner in Pattaya, no matter how small street, you will find a gathering of motorbike taxis. They are operate 24 hours a day 7 days per week and provide a very convenient service. However, this option is not for the faint-hearted and can be dangerous. These guys, and the occasional lady will take you anywhere but agree on a price first.
