hotels in pattaya by Taxi.. how to get one and how much.Hotels in Pattaya by taxi Getting to any of the Pattaya hotels by one of the many taxis at the airport is a fairly simple task. There are many private un-licenced taxis that will be happy to take you. I have used these many times without a problem, however take care. Try to get the driver to pick you up at the door. Rather than you following him into the enormous and dimly lit car park, you never know! It is not unusual for this driver to take you to an office where you change cars, not necessarily a problem, now that you know it could happen. The licenced yellow and green taxis like the one pictured below are probably about the most convenient for getting from Bangkok to Pattaya.  If you would like to be picked up at the airport this is about the best place to arrange it with Queen Victoria hotel. Its roughly 150km and the journey takes about 2 hours The fare is usually around 1500bt, always check to see if your fare includes the tolls and its always worth negotiating. If your travelling very light and alone try to keep your bags with you in the taxi. Your hand luggage that contains your slush fund and other important documentsshould not be let out of your sight,keep it with you at all times More often than not the driver will, after about 30 minutes or so pull into a large service area He will stop pretty much outside the 7/11 convenience store, again not a problem now you know what to expect,Do not leave your hand luggage unattended in the taxi, take it with you. At some point in the journey you will need to let the driver know which of the hotels in pattaya you are heading to in the city. If you try telling him the hotel details, It is highly unlikely he shall understand you. Make sure you have the location in writing and a contact No, Bon-voyage!
