There are several regular minivan services between Pattaya and Bangkok and other locations in Thailand, including Koh Chang, Koh Samet, and Pattaya Utapao Airport. Sometimes, it’s easy to find arrival and departure schedules and book online. Otherwise, you need to show up and book in person.
Being a responsible sort of person, I have to inform you that though minivans are cheap and convenient they are not the safest way to travel around Thailand and whenever possible you should go by bus. You can travel safely by bus to and from Pattaya from a number of bus stations in Pattaya.
Alternatively, there are many taxi services in Pattaya along with the Bolt and Grab taxi apps that you use to commute around and to and from Pattaya cheaply. Read this guide on getting around Pattaya to find more information on taxi booking apps.
