The main public transport in Pattaya is minibuses called songthaews or, mistakenly, tuk-tuks. These are small pickup trucks with a covered body and two benches. The fare around the city is 15-20 baht per trip. This is the cheapest way to get around.

Using them is simple: to get on, wave your hand at a passing minibus. To get off, press the bell button inside the body. Pay the fare when exiting by handing the money to the driver through the window into the cab. The main difficulty is figuring out the routes, as they have no numbers. Before boarding, it's best to ask the driver if he is going in your desired direction (name the area or a major shopping center).

Important: after 7:00 PM and if the minibus is stationary, drivers may operate as taxis and charge from 100 baht. To avoid overpaying, always confirm the price before boarding. We have compiled a detailed route map and tips for using songthaews in the article: Transport in Pattaya: everything about taxis, tuk-tuks, and rentals with current prices.
