1hr30m is the best I've had but that was late in the evening. You did well at what is peak rush hour.

So TDAC didn't hold you up? It's certainly helped tourism to Vietnam.

Now the only question is how long did it take you to find a ladyboy?

You donβt clear customs before you pick up your luggage. I guess you mean immigration ? ππ

Yeh i just finished my holidays there and it took longer to get to immigration then to get through it , not sure if that's because of new DTAC system or a lot less tourists

No traffic yes possible

Good but pretty average in low season. Usually a couple of hours from touchdown to Pattaya, especially if you've book the cabπ
I swear my driver did it in just under 90 minutes about a year ago. Granted, it was about midnight, and the roads were relatively empty. But I did fear for my life a few times. π€£

Carry on luggage no problem, collection of bag can take ages. Last time I flew in with Qatar, it took over an hour for my bags to arrive
