Pattaya's Baht Buses are less than a dollar for "in route" trips a tour will cost a couple of bucks. In Thailand, as in neighboring Malaysia and Indonesia, they drive on the left side of the road - obviously not a problem for British, Irish, Australian/NZ or Japanese drivers.

There are eight stops throughout Bangkok between Phaya Thai and Suvarnabhumi, taking 15-30 minute trip for the full distance, depending on the line.

Suvarnabhumi International Airport, the new airport about 20 miles east of Bangkok, has been taking over all international flights from the old Don Muang Airport.

Gorgeous beaches they are too, set along the beautiful bay and extending some distance beyond. Visitors arrive in their millions each year to experience such delights, along with a variety of other diversions such as water sports, fishing, and deep sea diving, taking walks through ancient temple grounds, tropical gardens, or busy marketplaces, or just enjoying lazy time on the beach. The city thrives providing travelers with some basic human comforts that still lie beyond the pale in many societies.
