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

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.
