Thanks for the add. I am in the planning phase for a visit by absorbing knowledge. Been to PI, but now want to experience Thailand. I want to stay in Pattaya City. Looking for recommendations to rent vs. hotel. How do I get from Bangkok airport to Pattaya without hassle? Is there a good or trustworthy agency to look into for rentals and safe areas to stay?

.

Rent suggest rent in Jontien or dark side Pattaya. So rent a cheap hotel and go for a walkabout to find a good place to stay

its really best as there's good and bad in any areas. Look at where it is noise levels prone to flooding bad people etc etc etc.

Bus from Suvarnabhumi Airport to Pattaya. Takes about 2 hrs with aircon. I paid about 300 baht. All areas are safe in Pattaya. Book somewhere for a couple of nights and then move if it is not for you. Taxi is quicker but costs about 1600 baht but make sure you fix the price before sitting off.
