Getting ready to fly to Thailand 🙏💯 , my question is , because I arrive so late at night , what is the best taxi service from Bangkok to Pattaya..........
Thank you everyone
Answer summary
Travelers arriving late at night in Bangkok have several reliable taxi options to get to Pattaya. While taxis are available at all hours, it's advisable to pre-book if arriving after midnight. Recommended services include airport taxi stands, Grab and Bolt apps, and private drivers from Facebook groups or websites. Prices generally range from 1000 to 2000 baht, depending on the service and time of day. For a hassle-free experience, many recommend pre-booking through trusted services or using established taxi companies.

Just go online and book a taxi, I used Pattaya transfer service (if you’re going to Pattaya) and it was easy and no hassle and a good car for 1299 baht , but try and book one from the city you are going to, they will turn up and they know where they are going
Some say go to the arrivals level and go outside and ask taxi drivers who are dropping people off if they are going back to pattaya and ask for a price, but your still going to pay 1000 bht up,
Regular taxi (pink car, green car with yellow, red car with yellow) while they wait at airport they offer substantial higher rates. Hoping the tourist doesn't know about the following apps
Grab app is good for taxi cars. A bit more $$. Can connect to you bank.
Bolt is a cheaper option to get but doesn't have as many cars as grab. Can connect to your bank
Indrive is a cheaper option aswell they only take thai cash as payment
Grab, bolt, or Indrive may show up in a taxi car described above but you will pay the app price and not full taxi price. Most taxi drivers operate 2 or more apps to get business.
Grab app you can also buy food delivery with aswell as food panda and lineman app.
Use Google hotels to search for hotels and area. It will show you dates and prices... Click on those through Google and it's cheaper than booking through agoda, booking, and vio.com) but also use vio agoda and booking for best prices to stay..
Clicktogothailand.com for tour trips from most destinations in Thailand best price options..
12go.asia is a good website for booking buses and vans to go from destination to destination.
Lazada app is similar to Amazon. You can order anything here and have delivered to you place of stay.
Take a bolt. Get the bolt app, grab app, and 12Go app. 12Go is great for a bus wherever you want to go, late at night though, you can walk out of the airport and people will happily greet you with a taxi option
Many options like taxi, Grab, Bolt etc but I prefer Mike's Taxi Service. Book on their website. Costs 1000 to 1200 baht. Professional and reliable with good cars
I would second your recommendation, I live here but have used his taxi service BKK to Pattaya and Buriram 4 times this year with family visiting. Easy reliable and the best price I have found anywhere.
I would use a private driver for that trip .. is it from Suvarnabhumi? It is a couple hours + drive from there. I have a driver I have used for more than 2 years .. send me a dm if you want to meet him.
you don’t have to be an expat to join that page. It gives valuable information for anyone intending to visit Pattaya. Such as, convenient travel to and from the airport.
I think you miss understood because I wasn’t clear enough. My fault. The Pattaya expat Fb group has many private taxis who advertise the trip (cutting out the middle man). They charge 1000-1500, depending on size of car. I think you will find the best and cheapest offers on there. Most people who live in Pattaya use this option because it’s the cheapest. I usually pay 1200. Taxis from the airport will cost 2000. Grab is usually 1500-2000, depending on time of day and availability.
