Depending on the hotel and how many nights you stay, sometime you can negotiate for a free transfer by saying its your first time there and do not know how to speak or tell the taxi how to go there. If they don't then threaten you will change to another hotel. 50/50 chance of working.

Later communication breakdown lol
bkk vs phuket and pattaya
not as much cab, cab expensive lol
distance from htoel to town is far
bkk : airport to town 35min
phuket and pattaya is at least 1 hour

eh hotel wont give free transfer
tats my understandings
they noramlly charges a high price for tat
for example, 4 to 5 stars hotel airport transfer is at least 50sgd to 80sgd

came bck from my pataya trip
think many singaporeans sure shock liek myself
the airport is pretty small
maybe the size of rivervale mall ...

oni 6 immigration counter station
2 checked in counter by airasia, 2 checked in counter by bangkok airways
think very little flight flies there
think is a army airbase ...

went there oni 2 flights...
airport to central festival mall is abt 1.5 hrs
if u hire own driver is abt 600 to 800b
however they would speed up to 120 lol cox super far
if u take go airport counter, think is abt 1000b for cab

since airasia flies singapore to pattaya at 9.15pm , reach there 11.15pm
hardly can find cab ...
the place lots of bar and lots of ang moh with gals

hotel prices kindly cheap, abt 45sgd can stay 3.5 stars hotel with breakfsat
some rooms with bath tub

booked land tour 20sgd for 3 places not bad kinda worth !!!

Thank you for the list. But I can't find your price of $50+ for baron even though I tried searching on non peak.. I don't have any loyalty program or points, so I guess this is out of my budget.
