ORIGINAL POSTERHi, is it possible at this time to hire a taxi from Bangkok to Pattaya ?
TLDR : Answer Summary
Yes, hiring a taxi from Bangkok to Pattaya is currently possible. There are no travel restrictions between the two cities, but travelers should be aware of curfews in Bangkok that prevent travel between 9 pm and 4 am. Various apps like Lineman and Bolt offer services for this trip, typically costing between 1000 to 1300 THB. However, drivers may refuse long-distance rides, so it's advisable to confirm with them beforehand. Some users also recommend private drivers for potentially lower rates.

I wanted Bolt to take me from Pattaya to Koh Samet ferry two of them refused they dont seem to want to travel too far.

I do not think so. It would be very risky if you get caught at a police checkpoint and may have to pay for a huge fine. I would wait for the next day, early in the morning.

I'd be careful. Sometimes the Bolt drivers are eager to take any ride, but they actually don't want to make the entire trip.David *********
@Tracy ************
1000 from Bangkok? You sure ?Francesco **********
@David ********
usually i paid 1200-1300 with bolt (and i use to give 1500), always perfect experiences, never faced any single problem. fully suggested. the only problem is to know if interprovincial trips are allowed or not at the moment (no idea coz i’m not in thailand now, i left coz of the stupid and endless lockdown)…Tracy *************
@David ********
yep, I’ve done the trip about 6 times. Not since April though Reply to

Yes, just use the Lineman app under the taxi tab for the cheapest price. They must use their meter, keep their taxi clean, and just add a simple bt50 service fee. It's under bt1000 to Pattaya.

Yes

Pattaya has a curfew. Not allowed out of the house between the hours of 9 pm and 4 am.
Bob **********
Yes
Garrett ***********
Yes, there are no travel restrictions between Bangkok and Pattaya. Only issue is you cannot leave bangkok after curfew. I don't believe Pattaya has a curfew right now.
Andy ***********
Inter provincial buses are currently not running .. only local
Tom ********
@Garrett **********
yes it does 9pm to 4am and strictly enforcedAndy *******
@Tom *******
and there are travel restrictions especially leaving a dark red zoneGarrett ***********
@An**
Not between Bangkok and Pattaya.Andy *******
@Garrett **********
I understand it to be ALL province to province travel is restricted during the lockdowns unless absolutely necessary but I respect your opinionGarrett ***********
@An**
You understand it incorrectly. Andy ***********
Garrett - Provinces marked as a dark-red zone are placed under the strictest of restrictions which includes curbs on inter-provincial travel. This is from Thai Govt FB page.
Garrett ***********
@An**
That doesn't make sense though, Bangkok is a "maximum control zone" but the BTS, MRT, day trains, and public buses are still running. Andy ***********

Interesting, that's surprising actually. I thought the curfew was mostly to curtail the protests in bkk. George ********
