(Steff @ Jun. 12 2010,17:40) 1,100baht. Call Apple

She charges me 1300, so obviously Steff has something going for him! (maybe that was just from airport to Pattaya?) Usual 'fixed rate' quote from taxi for BKK to PTYA is 1500 baht, perhaps less in these hard times. The limo service in Soi Nana is 1200. Mr T 1000 baht. All these figures are with toll fees paid by the driver.

Do watch out though, they may avoid the tollbooths to save money in some places, going on the low road with plenty of humps & bumps. I prefer to keep those bumps for my first night in Pattaya

Apple's is a good service.

Yes it is from the airport to Pattaya. My deal with her is 1,100 but I give her 1,300 with tip. And she also pays the tolls.
