The bus is a great inexpensive way to get to Pattaya, maybe a couple hours at most depending on the traffic. Buses are comfortable and have I believe 3 stops in Pattaya. North, Mid (for lack of a better way to put it) and Jomtien if I remember correctly. I would get off at the North (1st stop) for View Talay 6 if that helps.
The best option is 140 baht bus takes a little longer that a taxi does and costs less, that's obviously prior to 2100. After that it's taxi only. Calling people idiots for answering a question you obviously thought you knew the answer too, priceless....
that's what I plan on doing. My question is, since it has to be in my name only, after I pass, hopefully not anytime soon, how do my people here access that money?
