It is best to reserve a car rental online so everything will be ready by the time you arrive at the airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Otherwise, contact one of the biggest car rental offices at the airport: Budget, National, Hertz or Avis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pattaya trips can take up to 2 hours but the traffic is unpredictable so it could take longer. If you are staying at a hotel somewhere in Bangkok, especially near Khao San Road, you can avail of the <strong>mini-van services<\/strong>.&nbsp;They usually charge 400 baht per person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.bangkokbeyond.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/Pattaya_City_Sign.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"2576\" height=\"1932\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bangkokbeyond.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/Pattaya_City_Sign.jpg\" alt=\"HPattaya City\" class=\"wp-image-2704\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bangkokbeyond.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/Pattaya_City_Sign.jpg 2576w, https:\/\/www.bangkokbeyond.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/Pattaya_City_Sign-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bangkokbeyond.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/Pattaya_City_Sign-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2576px) 100vw, 2576px\" \/><\/a><figcaption>Pattaya City<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>This is more convenient because you won\u2019t have to go to the bus terminal or travel to the airport to go from <strong>Bangkok to Pattaya<\/strong>.
