How to buy a bus ticket from Pattaya to Bangkok and how much does it cost in 2026?

Buying a bus ticket from Pattaya to Bangkok is easiest directly before departure at the ticket office at the bus station — this is the most reliable option, as buses run frequently and there are usually enough seats. If you want to guarantee a seat for a specific time, you can book it online in advance on the website 12go.asia, where payment is accepted in cash at supermarkets in Thailand.

The ticket price depends on which station in Bangkok you are going to and where you depart from. Here are the current fares for 2026:

• From North Pattaya Bus Station:
  • To Ekkamai terminal — 148 baht (plus 20 baht for large luggage).
  • To Mo Chit terminal — 158 baht.
• From Jomtien station (Roong Reuang Coach Jomtien):
  • Only to Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) — 162 baht.
• From T-Tour station (near Walking Street):
  • To Bangkok (Ekkamai or Khao San Road) — from 200 baht.
• Bus to Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) from North Station: — 130 baht.

If you want to save money and don't mind the local flavor, you can take the train for 32 baht, but it only runs on weekdays and takes about 4 hours. For maximum comfort, order a taxi via Grab or Bolt — the price is fixed, from 1200 baht per car.
