How much does a tuk-tuk cost in Pattaya?

The cost of traveling in a route taxi (songthaew), which tourists call a tuk-tuk, in Pattaya is 15-20 baht per trip. In 2026, the price officially increased from 10 baht due to the fuel crisis.

Usually 15 baht is charged for a short distance, and 20 baht for a longer route. It is better to check the exact price with the driver before getting in. It is important to remember that this price is only valid during the daytime when the vehicle follows its regular route. After 19:00 and if you hire a stationary tuk-tuk, the price increases to taxi rates — from 100 baht.
