Pattaya sits about 124 km southeast of Bangkok — roughly 2 to 2.5 hours on Motorway 7, or closer to 3 if you leave the city centre during rush hour. Chartering a private van means door-to-door pickup from your hotel or the airport, real luggage space for the whole group, and the freedom to stop for photos or roadside snacks on the way. Kingtocar charges one flat price per trip: ฿4,000 for a Toyota Commuter (9–13 seats) or ฿9,000 for a Toyota Alphard (6–7 seats), with fuel, tolls, driver and bottled water already included.
Bangkok to Pattaya
฿4,000 for the Commuter and ฿9,000 for the Alphard, per trip. Fuel, Motorway 7 tolls, driver and bottled water are all in the quote — nothing extra is added when you arrive.
We pick up from your Bangkok hotel, Don Mueang or Suvarnabhumi. Suvarnabhumi is right by the motorway entrance, so starting there skips most of the city traffic.
Want to see Khao Chi Chan, browse Nong Mon Market or take a coffee break at the Bang Pakong rest area? Tell us when you book and the driver plans the timing around it.
The Commuter seats 9–13 with room for full-size suitcases. The Alphard is quieter and more comfortable — a good fit for families, older travellers or business guests.
Our network drivers do the Bangkok–Pattaya run constantly. They know when Motorway 7 flows, when to avoid Beach Road, and how to reach hotels in Naklua, Wongamat, Central Pattaya and Jomtien without you navigating from the back seat.
Naklua, North, Central or South Pattaya, Jomtien and Na Jomtien are all ฿4,000 in a Commuter — no zone fee, no delivery surcharge. If you are staying further out at Bang Saray or Sattahip, tell us when booking and we will confirm the price first.
The natural halfway break on Motorway 7, with clean restrooms, coffee, food stalls and fuel. Fifteen minutes here makes a big difference if you're travelling with kids or elderly passengers.
Chonburi's classic souvenir market on Sukhumvit Road — sticky rice in bamboo, coconut custard sweets and dried seafood. It's a short detour off the motorway but worth it for local snacks.
A giant Buddha image laser-carved into a cliff face in Sattahip, south of Pattaya, usually visited together with the nearby temple complex. Best photographed in soft morning or late afternoon light.
An entirely hand-carved wooden temple on the seafront in North Pattaya, open roughly 08:20–18:00. Allow an hour to an hour and a half to walk through it properly.
A very large botanical garden in Na Jomtien with themed gardens, a dinosaur valley zone and cultural shows. Easily a half-day stop and a reliable favourite with children.
The departure point for the island ferry, a 30–45 minute crossing. Schedules start early in the morning and can shift with sea conditions, so check the day's timetable before you commit.
A large recreated market on Sukhumvit Road just before town, grouping food and crafts from Thailand's four regions in one place. An hour to ninety minutes is plenty, and it works well as the last stop before your hotel.
A long, calmer stretch of sand south of the main bay with clearer water and a row of beachfront seafood restaurants. A better choice than Pattaya Beach if you have children with you.
The classic panorama over the whole bay, with the PATTAYA CITY sign for photos. The van can drive right up, so a 15–20 minute stop is enough. Late afternoon light is the best.
