@อาจารย์ ******
Atlanta (Georgia, USA) maybe?
Robert *********
I’ve found best prices on Priceline. I flew from Charlottesville to Atlanta to Amsterdam to BKK, r/t was $2000. Atlanta to BKK will be less…

Search Skyscanner. Southwest to lax. Lax to bkk. China Air or Eva Air. Buy DIRECTLY through airline NOT 3rd party. Van from bkk to Pattaya. Last round trip to bkk from Ohio was $1,300

No direct flights from US. Vancouver I believe the only North American City that has a direct flight. The flights go through Different countries depending on Airline. For me I always check flight times. Depending on the Airline between 25-35+ hours.
Delta Partners with Korean Air and go thru Seoul. Others use Tokyo, Dubai, and others.

Just 2 weeks ago I was in Pattaya together with my wife and son. We flew to Suvarnabhumi Airport in Bangkok and booked a taxi in advance to bring us to our hotel in Pattaya. The taxi service we used is called 'Taxi Airport Bangkok'. It was 1,700.- THB for one way. The trip from Suvarnabhumi Airport to Pattaya is around 1 hour 20 minutes. And of course we also booked the trip from Pattaya back to Suvarnabhumi Airport one week later. Very good taxi service. Here is the link:

(but if you prefer you also can buy a bus ticket from Suvarnabhumi to Pattaya. The bus ticket counters are in the basement of the airport).

CheapO Air shows many of the flights. I’ve hear bad things about Turkish Airlines! I’m thinking of using Qatar from Miami through Dubai to BKK

, I’ve flown with Turkish Airlines (in and out of Istanbul) and was really impressed.Bob *********

the bad reviews I’ve heard of come from customer service when problems arise with delays and rebooking connecting flights.Glenys *****

Go to a travel agent as well it’s about $75 and they have flights you’ll never see on those search engines mentioned

Travelocity is a good source but I book the ticket through the airlines direct. If anything goes wrong it’s impossible to rebook with Travelocity. You might want to consider the bus from BKK to Pattaya. The flight is 20 mins and not worth the money.

Google Airlines

Lots of flights from USD1k -1.4K on Ettihad , Emirates, Qatar etc Stay away from US carriers and you will be fine. There are lots of search engines, try them?

How is this a "group" thing? I had no idea that there was still people out there that have not heard by now.
Ciaran *********
From Atl your best bet is to fly to NY, SFO, or LAX first and then take the cheapest airline from there. You will save considerably by flying out of a hub other then Atlanta.
Christopher *************
@Ciaran ********
Considering Atl is Deltas Headquarters and main Hub that seems a bit bizarre?Ciaran *********
@Christopher ************
nope! Because of their overwhelmingly influence (read near monopoly) they are the most expensive.Tiffannie *********

yes they are

The very cheapest way I found, is to buy a Phillipines to LA super save ticket about 6 months in advance - no kidding, I just checked recently approx. 400 round trip. This is to LA. I never go directly but take cheaper flights to LA and get a cheap one from there to where I want to go. Always saves money. Kayak.com is where I go for deals.
Tiffannie *********
OP@James ***************
thanks very helpful
Chris *********
I like Monmondo, as it can handle "broken" flight segments, where you have short stays at intermediary stops. It's almost faster to get to Pattaya by way of Bangkok.
Tiffannie *********
OP@Chris ********
thank youChris *********
@Tiffannie ********
there was no plane to the airport for Pattaya which is quite far south, from Chiang Rai when I visited in May of '22, starting the day they ended the 1 day quarantine. I went up through Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai, over 10 days. I had to take a bus back down to Bangkok and then a mini-bus to Pattaya. I'd probably find a limo from BKK to Pattaya if I were doing that again.
Dan *******
EVA if you can get it… Qatar was horrible
Alma ***************
@Dan ******
we did Qatar from YYZ to BKK..better service than A C..with decent lounge to rest even..Dan *******
@Alma **************
Qatar from ATL to Doha on the way to BKK was full of (sorry to say) some of the nastiest people on the planet. When we arrived in Doha, we almost had to Wade through the mass of trash, dirty diapers, food containers and blankets, pillows and god knows what else… kids ran amok, and I’m sure the crew was mortified.

i was flying back and forth NYC/Thailand. before my first flight someone told me about 'over the pole' flight. it was direct NYC to Bangkok. wooow. cheaper and quicker. i did it many times before they stopped the flight.
Edward ******
@David *******
i agree but occasionally someone knows something. i wanted to fly to China. the price was about the same all over the internet. then someone told me to go direct to China air? woow, saved some money there. i agree with you but my wife likes to ask others...mostly friends. she found an airline with a ***
price promotion. i was shocked but the dates did not match my needs. it can happen by asking others.

Afghanistan Airlines lolol.

When you search for flights, open an incognito tab or private tab first then start searching for flights.
Google flights and most booking agencies will use your cookies/search history to make the prices you see even higher because they know you may have searched it before, so it’s best to use an incognito/private tab so that there are no cookies or search history.

OP@Chris **********
when did you go?
Galenus ******
You don't know Google????😳
Ron ********
IMO, no reason to go to Pattaya unless you are a sex tourist. My guess is you are not since you are a female. There are MANY nicer places in Thailand.
Tiffannie *********
OP@Ron *******
nope, hubby and warched youtube and their was sooo much food. We are huge foodies and i wanted to look at the water.Ron ********
@Tiffannie ********
Great food is eveywhere in Thailand. And I mean everywhere. And there is plenty of spots with clearer water and nicer beaches. In any case, have a great trip!
Sam ******
@Ron *******
Pattaya has excellent Muay Thai training, Nong Nuch, Sanctuary of Truth, ferries to Koh Larn, Jomtien beach and many water parks. A lot of Thai's travel there during Songkran too.
Chris ***********
@Ron *******
lol. You must have never visited PattayaRon ********
All true. But IMO there are nicer places. But yes, the Sanctuary of the Truth is sure worth seeing!
Ron ********
@Chris **********
Only a few times. In Pattaya right now in fact.......having to do a border bounce and try to get a bank account through a agent. Know a cheap one? All I get is $5500 baht and up. Not a sex tourist......too old.

thai airline doMichael ******
@Dean ************
there are no direct flights to Pattaya from Atlanta. The nearest airport is U-Tapao, which is indeed an international airport. But for the time being you only can travel there with Fly Dubai. Certainly not directly from Atlanta.

Expect long layovers…
Denny ********
Travelocity is awesome. JAL on Google flights
Bill *********
Constantly varies. Use the websites mentioned above and also momondo.com. they show graphically the best times to fly. I just returned to ATL 2 weeks ago. It was not cheap. The high season is almost over so you should see some better prices. Also some airlines do not show up on aggregator sites so search direct with the airlines too. And Pattaya does not have an airport so you will fly into BKK and take a taxi.

lots of connecting flights. No direct nor nonstop

my bad, you are correct about no direct flights… I have searched a lot of different ways in the last few weeks and forgot. I was just looking on Skyscanner and see that there are no direct flights. There are some one stop that are not bad.Ken ***********
@J.d. ******
I travel ofyem between Thailand snd U.S. and there are currently no nonstop nor direct flight and nothing has been announced.J.d. *******
@John *******
Actually this year Thai air has been operated by another carrier for flights from the west coast. I think it’s like LA or Seattle to Bangkok.David *********
@Dean ************
show me one, just one DIRECT flight from USJ.d. *******
@David ********
best to do a flight from the west coast. There are direct flights to Singapore and that gets you the closest. Then take an Asian Airline to Thailand. Plus Singapore is the best airport in the world.Michael ******
@Dean ************
no way
Darren *******
@Dean ************
not to Pattaya
Lana ***********
There is no such thing. Flight prices are dynamic. Check them on Google flights. PS there are no flights to Pattaya, you fly to Bangkok and take a car/bus to Pattaya
Sam ******

Pattaya has an airport UTP U-Tapao but I doubt direct flights from Atlanta fly thereTiffannie *********

yeah i looked. Thank u

@Sam *****
But sure, 100%, via BangkokLana ***********
@Marc *******
ok, but I seriously doubt it would be the cheapest flight the OP is looking for. Everyone I know fly to BKK
Marc ********
@Oliver *******
I would chose BKK but that was not the questionOliver ********
@Marc *******
OK, but is not directly, i think the way from bangkok to pattaya with a taxi is a better option. It will probably be faster, or what say youMarc ********
@Oliver *******
Not correct. You can fly from Dubai to U-Tapao (Rayong).Atanta to Dubai and Dubai to Rayong
Christopher ********
It really depends on when you go and for how long. I've always stuck with Expedia to find the best flights. This time it turned out to be United and ANA.
Wes *************
@Christopher *******
ANA rocks!
Stuart *********
Use Skyscanner or Google flights to check times and prices.
Bell ******
@Stuart ********
Great sources for research. Also try Hopper. Book directly though the airline once you find the flight. Save a huge headache if there needs to be any changes. Just remember you have to fly to Bangkok and take a bus, train, taxi or private transportation to PattayaJ.d. *******
