TLDR : Answer Summary

The conversation discusses the current travel restrictions for traveling by bus from Bangkok to Pattaya. While some community members speculate about potential restrictions, personal experiences indicate that there were no roadblocks or checkpoints recently. One member confirmed that buses from the Ekkamai bus station operate twice daily (9 AM and 5 PM) with no quarantine required in Pattaya. However, it's suggested that regulations may change frequently, so travelers should remain informed.

- we got out of quarantine two days ago. We decided to stay in Bangkok for awhile, but we went by the ekkamai bus station and we found out the bus runs 2 times a day, 9am and 5pm. No quarantine required in Pattaya. That was two days ago so things could be drastically different by now.

I drove to pattaya from bkk on Sunday and returned yesterday. There were no roadblocks, no check points and no military. Traffic was normal. But, the motorway closes between 9pm and 4am.

Why don't you just get on the bus and go? Please let us know. I doubt there is anyone here in the forum that has done the bus trip this week to advise you.

- yep, the obvious last resort. I certainly would never know if anyone has made that trip, without asking.

yeah for sure. Like anything in Thailand it really depends on which way the wind is blowing at any given time. Given the travel restrictions out of Bangkok my guess is that if you can get on a bus you will be OK. There is a taxi driver here in Hua Hin bringing people down from Bangkok every day. I hope you make it out of the twilight zone....

I ask mostly because the news seems to indicate there are travel restrictions, but always fails to indicate what they are.
