£3 bus from BANGKOK to PATTAYA - Worth it? ประเทศไทย

Hi everyone! This is episode four of my Thailand series. In this vlog, I leave Bangkok and travel to Pattaya, which is situated on the east coast of the Gulf of Thailand. It is also known for its party atmosphere and great beaches, and hence it is a very popular tourist spot in Thailand. In fact, it is the second-most visited city in Thailand after Bangkok! I thought this might be a useful video for some hoping to do a similar journey between the two cities. I decided to travel by bus from Bangkok Eastern Bus Terminal, also known as Ekkamai Bus Terminal. The vlog starts with me arriving at the bus station and without a ticket. I was told I could simply buy a ticket at the bus station and that there are many services to Pattaya on a daily basis. I was immediately struck by how long a particular queue was for buses to Pattaya, but another ticket officer grabbed my attention and said there is a bus leaving right away for the cost of 150 Thai Baht (currency conversion: 1 British Pound = c. 45 Thai Baht). I decide to buy a ticket but cannot help thinking why the other queue is so long! Anyways, I get escorted onto the bus by another man and I manage to grab the back seat with a window - a huge bonus given my intention to vlog the journey! I have a brief conversation with other passengers asking why the queue was so long, but they also mentioned that they have not been to Pattaya before and, like me, were simply happy to take the first service possible. We then drive from the bus station through the streets of Bangkok before getting onto one of the main roads towards the coast. I notice several nature scenes, impressive engineering, loads of trucks and a few toll gates! As we drive into Pattaya, the weather starts to turn for the worst and it starts to rain cats and dogs! When I get off at the final stop, it is still raining and I quickly take shelter. At this point, I have no idea how to get to my hotel, as I do not have roaming or internet and have to rely on a screenshot of my hotel name and directions from the seafront. Luckily, a few locals help me out with directions towards the right alley, or soi as it is called in Thai. I finally reach my hotel and check in, after which a hotel employee takes me to my room. I give a quick tour of the room and decide to rest for a bit after the two hour bus journey. During my rest, the rain also stops and I go to the rooftop to get an idea of the swimming facilities and the view of the city. I also head out to get a glimpse of what the city holds, and treat myself to a delicious mango roti. I then arrive back at the hotel where I talk about Thai money and give a useful travel tip in relation to currency notes. Apologies for my ad hoc pronunciation of Pattaya - in same parts I get it absolutely spot on, but in other parts I butcher it! I do get better at it as you will see in upcoming vlogs. Also, my voice is steadily improving, day by day :) I hope you enjoyed this vlog about travelling from Bangkok to Pattaya! As mentioned earlier, I also hope this gives you an idea of what to expect, but do not hesitate to reach out to me if you have any further questions about the journey.
