Thanks for all the statistics but this thread is more about transportation options between Bangkok/BKK and Pattaya for those who have already decided to go there. Maybe you could start a separate thread to raise awareness about your view of the "real" Pattaya to warn off the less savvy tourists? (My guess is that you overlooked the thread title and maybe thought you were responding to a different thread?) For this thread, is there any chance you could share the transportation options you've utilized, as it's evident you've been there?
