Totally agreed. I just go there watch nude dancing before proceeding to Hollywood or Soi 6 for tabao.

Re: Pattaya
 

Fyi.... Pattaya has extended Songkran celebrations until the end of April. So you have more than 2 weeks of Songkran festivities to enjoy. Just remember to bring more clothes to change..... unless you want to walk around in your speedo swimtrunks.

Re: Pattaya
 

You will be absolutely shattered if you go for 2 weeks. Glad it's only a few days in BKK.

Re: Pattaya
 

Until end of Apr is crazy :D
Usually until 19 alr damn shag

Re: Pattaya
 

You've never celebrated Songkran in Chiangmai?
The celebrations there are 2 weeks long every year..... always been like that since the 1970s.

I think Pattaya trying to copy them.

Re: Pattaya
 

Alright thanks bro. hopefully the choices and amount of girls wont be as bad compared to normal days.

side note, anybody knows a cheap and fast way to Pattaya from BKK Suvarnabhumi? Ive seen people recommending going to Ekkamai Bus Terminal to take a bus that takes about 2hr30mins.

Re: Pattaya
 

No need to go to Ekkamai..... there is direct buses from Suva airport itself to Pattaya.

Go down to level 1 (beside the foodcourt) are a few kiosks selling bus tickets to Pattaya. Prices range from 147 baht to 350 baht depending on which type of bus you want to ride.

Actually to me whether 147 baht or 350 baht makes no difference as the buses are similar.... except 350 you get refreshments (H2O + bun). Buses run every hour so you may need to wait if the bus is full.

I always buy ticket first then go the foodcourt to lepak until 10 mins before departure.

Re: Pattaya
 

Nv try songkran in CM before, Pty usually 12-19 alr very long for me :p

Re: Pattaya
 

Yeah, Roong Reung is the main Pattaya bus at Level 1 from Suvarnabhumi airport.

You can have a look at the schedules online - https://airportpattayabus.com/

No need to book online, you can always buy at their counter and proceed to chill at food court while waiting for the bus.

Re: Pattaya
 

that is not true, at least for 2024. I was there on the first day 13th and the water playing around the river ended on the 15th and the last major event was at Maya shopping mall on 16th. everything was back to normal on the 17th with no more water playing. there could possibly be minor event at some pub/club but I did my search for one but couldn't find any until I left on 18th heading south to Sukhotai.

Re: Pattaya
 

Had enough of such parties during the RCA days, no need to get the wrong kind of wet 555.

Wait for all the crowds from around the world to dissipate, then we can get the juicy wetness we need :D

Re: Pattaya
 

Tickets do sell out though, so better to book online.
I had tickets to the last one of the night, and there was another guy creating a scene because it was sold out and he had be down there.

Re: Pattaya
 

Can also book ticket here https://ticket.belltravelservice.com...et/SelectRoute

Re: Pattaya
 

Many travellers assume there is only 1 counter selling tickets to Patts..... not so.
Other counters oso sell tickets to Patts.... look for those counters that have multiple destinations.
Afaik there are at least 5 different bus services running from Suva airport to Pattaya.
