Bus stations and bus stations in Pattaya: a detailed overview. North Pattaya Bus Station

Tuk Tuks (Songthaew):

So pickups drive along the main streets and transport people (anyone who waves from the side of the road) along these roughly established routes for 10 baht. If the car is empty, then you may be asked for more. Some even weigh price tags stating that the price depends on the filling of the machine. But in any case, for a "travel" pickup truck, 20 baht is over the roof.

You just need to understand that since such pickups go along certain routes, you can only catch them standing on the side of the very street along which this route runs. If you are not standing on it, then you will not catch such a pickup truck. When they see someone walking along the road, they give a signal. If you react, they drive up and you sit down next to them. You stop by pressing the button. There are several of them attached to the roof of the fat.

There are also the same pickup trucks that do not travel along certain routes, but ride back and forth or stand parked. They have a negotiable price. Agree for lope, for stock and they will take you.

If you really don’t need to ask the price in advance on “regular” pickups, and even more so tell the tuktuker where you need to go (otherwise you’ll go at a special price), but you need to give 10 baht with confidence, then if you take (standing or aimlessly wheeling outside route network) pickup truck, then it is necessary to agree on a price in advance in order to avoid surprises, because the driver of such a vehicle will not put up with the 10 baht you extended and you will run into a scandal.

Don't tell the tuktuker where you need to go otherwise you will go as a "taxi" and pay about 250 baht.

The color of the songthaew in Pattaya within the city is dark blue. According to Sukhumvit - white, and blue - country.

I wanted to describe the new songteo routes in Pattaya in the form of news, but without 100 grams you can’t figure it out and there’s enough material for a short article. Moreover, I foresee questions from those who are going to Pattaya. So, yes.
Everyone knows, loved and loved blue tuk tuks in Pattaya have changed the routes of movement and now they must adhere only to them. Will local tuk tuk drivers follow the new rules and drive on the new routes? How much does a tuk tuk fare in Pattaya cost? A map of the new songteo (tuk tuk) routes in Pattaya, all this is in today's article.

New routes for blue tuk tuks (songteos) in Pattaya

The decision that it is time to change the map and the public transport scheme in the city is not new. Attentive tourists probably noticed even the semblance bus stops around the city, where no one ever
didn't stop.

Let me remind those who are not in the know - public transport in Thailand and in Pattaya in particular is an open Songteo pickup truck. In Pattaya, they are blue, the fare is 10 baht along the route, paid to the driver.

If you need to get off, you need to press a button inside the cab, the driver will hear a signal and stop on demand. Children in their arms for free. In Pattaya, the government changed and the new government decided to put things in order in this and not only in this industry by all means. songteo tuk tuk did not.

4 new routes of blue tuk tuks (songteo) in Pattaya + 3 old>

February 1, 2017 entered into force new amendment on obtaining and renewing rights and issuing permits to drive passenger pickups, and after them came checks.

When several drivers of blue tuk tuks (songteos) in Pattaya were left without cars (they were sent to a fine parking lot), and without driving license, but with fines of several thousand baht, they immediately changed their mind and attitude towards the approved new scheme routes in Pattaya.

To be honest, I don’t understand why drivers might not like it? They can't agree on who will ride the old routes and who will get the new ones? Maybe the new traffic patterns are not so "bread"? Don't know.

Imagine the chaos in the city. If little has changed for drivers of blue tuk tuks (songteos) in Pattaya, a lot has changed for residents and tourists in Pattaya.

Now in Pattaya there are 7 officially approved tuk tuk routes that drivers are required to follow. The approved 3 routes, which include a trip to the center, to Jomtien, round trip + a turn at the Dolphins, remained unchanged. This does not negate the opportunity to earn extra money and give a lift to those who wish to take a blue songteo like a taxi. Let me remind you that the average cost of a trip around the city in a tuk tuk as a taxi is 200-300 baht, depending on your bargaining skills and distance.

New driving routes - Map and Detailed description of songthaew routes

New routes in Pattaya will affect such areas - Bali Hai Pier and Pratumnak - Administration - Big Ring - North (Naklua) Street - Jomtien Beach - Ban Charoen village
-Ratpattana and Najomtien.

New Songteo route in Pattaya 7

Crossroads of North Street with Sukhumvit and to the Central Embankment - South Street - Thappraya - Jomtien Beach - Turn to Chaopryk and return to the original.

Now let's discuss the changes. For tourists coming to Pattaya added at least one and very important route— the blue songteos will finally start calling at Pratumnak.
As far as I understood from the map, they will not drive along the alleys of Pratamnak, but it is already enough that you can take a tuk tuk passing through Pratamnak. That is, those who settle in the 1-2 soi area of ​​​​Pratamnak on Cozy Beach should go to the tour policy and to the Buddha, the songteo will pass there. And those who are on soybeans 4, 5 - respectively, too, in the direction FROM the sea.

That is, now for 10 baht you can get from Pratumnak along Tappraya, and then to Tepprazit.
So, visit a good European Foodmart store, which is open 24 hours, get for 10 baht from Pratumnak to night market on Tepprazit and in general, by and large anywhere.

Has the fare for the blue tuk tuk (songteo) in Pattaya changed?

No, the fare has remained the same. 10 baht for travel. If they don’t want to take you for this price, they drop you off earlier, you can complain by tel. — 1137
you just need to write down, take a picture or remember the license plate of the driver, which is in every songteo. I can assure you, it is enough for the driver to simply say that you will call to complain, as soon as everything will work out.
True, some of my acquaintances in a similar conflict situation were nevertheless landed, throwing the paid money in their faces.

What about other routes? I think they will also be useful for tourists, especially those who are going to settle in the north of the city and do not know how to get out of there.

Let me remind you that the blue tuk tuk (songteo) traffic schedule in Pattaya is 24/7, but in reality it is not so easy to leave late at night or in the morning, especially in the least busy places.

Again, it has become convenient for those who live on Chaopryk or not far from it on the second Jomtien. As I understood from the traffic schedule, tuk tuks do not go to the second Jomten, but you can get off at the first one and cross the road or get off at Chaopryk soi.

White tuk tuks in Pattaya by Sukhumvit

Since I started writing about the new traffic graphics and new blue songteo routes, I’ll say a few words about the white ones that ply Sukhumvit and the fare in which costs 20 baht.

I think you are not aware that the fare in a white tuk tuk in Pattaya is 10 baht. That is, if you, roughly speaking, got into a tuk tuk at the intersection of Sukhumvit and South and drove to Chaopryk, it costs 10 baht.
The difference is in the Pattaya sign, which stands next to the Floating Market (floating market) and is the entrance to the city.

That is, in Pattaya - 10 baht on a white tuk tuk, for Pattaya - 20 baht.
On a white tuk tuk you can go very far. He goes to Siracha, and if towards FROM the center of Pattaya, then right up to Sattahip.

Both white and blue tuk-tuk-songteos run equally often, the mechanism of travel and payment is the same in them. I advise you to immediately prepare the amount without change, because drivers often “forget” to give change or start making noise,
that the fare is not 10, but 20 baht.

Is everything clear to everyone? To be honest, the routes on the map are quite poorly visible, and I didn’t understand some of the new routes, especially the one that is number 7.
Well, let's wait and see if tuk tukers comply with these rules or not.

For those who are in Pattaya for the first time and do not know how to use tuk tuk-songteo for 10 baht,

Hope so:)

For example, you can do this on Songteo (similar to fixed-route taxi in Russia). On South or Central Pattaya Street, you need to take a songteo for 10 baht, get to the Sukhumvit highway, get off at the end. Then you need to transfer to another songteo and get to the intersection with north street where the bus station is a couple of minutes walk.
