Travel within the Resort
Travelling around Pattaya is most convenient by mini-buses that
continually ply the Beach Road and Pattaya 2nd Road in counterclockwise
circuits. Fares are 5 baht per person per ride, fares beyond main bag
one negotiable.
Those who wish to be independent and explore Pattaya's surrounding
countryside and beaches at leisure, can hire motorcycles, jeeps or cars.
The visitor is advised to shop around and consult local tourism
publications, for different companies offer different prices and
conditions.
