I used Apple on last trip, and a couple of my friends swear by her.

pj-transport@hotmail.com

Door to door Bangkok Airport to Pattaya hotel 1100 baht including all tolls.

Apple is very good, she hires good drivers that won't freak you out driving 200 miles per hour. She's super sweet and deserves a break - had brain cancer or tumor but appears to be surviving/recovering.

I used Apple on my last trip in September - she quoted 1200, the driver asked for 1300; I rang Apple to ask what was going on and she apologetically said that 1300 was the correct fare. I paid, but I was not pleased... and probably won't use her again.

[Pongo]

Same happened to me some time ago. Apple was quoting me 1300, but driver was adamant 1400. Later she apologised saying most customers paid the higher figure, so the driver didn't know. Really? Now I use 'Mr T' - cars/drivers are usually good at 1000 baht all in.

Saw this guy touting in Nana recently. 1200 baht to Pattaya from Nana. Didn't use, but took his card, might be good for those going from Nana

Toyota Camry Booking before one day.

I have previously used Mr Toom for taxis in both directions and never been let down, even during the coup and subsequent Yellow and Red-shirt unrest. Even short notice alterations don't seem to faze him. Last couple of trips I have stayed in Bangkok first and found that any number of taxis touting outside the hotels are just as cheap and reliable.

toom39@msn.com is Mr Toom's email address - I've managed to lose his contact number.

I booked Mr T this afternoon and received a confirmation e-mail 30 minutes later, all booked up for this coming Sunday, arrival at 16.15 if anyone wants a ride to Pattaya.

I've tried both Mr Toom and Mr T - both of them good and reliable. If I should rate one above the other then Mr Toom would probably be the best, judging on quality of cars, friendliness of driver and allround information when booking.

Last year, I went with Mr Ts taxi service. For 1000 baht, it was a good deal.
However, I had a difficult time finding the driver as he was in a crowd of about 50 other drivers. Also, since I was going to a new hotel (Fraser resort), the driver had no idea where it was. Luckily, I knew it was close to other landmarks.
This next trip, just to avoid any confusion, I asked the hotel to arrange transportation for me.
They arranged a limo (Toyota Camry) to give me a ride for 1500 baht. Front door service.

PT Taxi also quite good - much the same as MrT but maybe slightly ahead on service

[garrydirty]

I get the bus now Bell Travel.... Emirates arrive at 8-30am time for a quick bite in the Thai cafe on level 1 where u buy coupons up-front and then they give u change if coupons not used.... Then pop on the bus that leaves 10-00am get to hotel around 12-30ish which is good for check in and dont leave me standing about.... best to book bus on - line and then print copy ov e-mail as they try to fill the bus up with other people that just turn-up and if you show ur print out ur on first for seat...........Regards Garry

I've been using Pon Taxi from Bangkok a number of times now and use the guy directly across from the Sunshine Hotel on the way back.
On the way down, the small guy from P Taxi's speedo was broken and he was nipping on a bit. His rev counter was up as high as 5500 revs. Nobody overtook us and he was using every lane to overtake. I just hope his rev counter was faulty as well but i don't think so. (Volvo)
Might just try Mr T next time

[Bwana_LB]

I've always used Mr. Toom. This last trip (Aug.) the driver was almost an hour late when picking me up at the airport. The transfer back to my hotel in BKK went smoothly. I may give someone else a try, but aside from that one bad experience, Mr. Toom's drivers have been great and the cars have been clean. Always paid 1200 baht.

I believe they're related, used PT recently and was very impressed with their service.

[Beerlao]

agree with garry - better to use bell bus if you are arriving early morning - more relaxing than
taxi and very good service to your hotel - perfect if you are not in a hurry
Also agree about excellent food in food court - beside where bus leaves at ground flloor

That's disappointing to hear bad reports about Apple. She was always great and her drivers awesome for me. I'll have to check with Siam Sam, I think he just used her service again last month, I'll get an update from him.

[Somchaitg951]

I allways use Pattaya Limo http://www.thelimopattaya.com/
They meet you at the gate with a sign with your name on and have cold water waiting in the car.
Great drivers and only 1200 baht

Agreed, if you not in a hurry, but if you miss the bus you might have to wait an hour or so, the foodcourt is quite good, but if you getting of a long flight not sure if you want to wait for the bus

always use ,PT TAXI<p.t.taxi@hotmail.com>,
you will be met at gate 3,driver will have your name showing,good service,

[galleon]

Last trip I used someone called Chana and the driver wasn't at the airport when I arrived, continuing my string of dissapointments so will try new this time.

Price is not the main issue for me. I want someone who is there on time, makes no stops, including for gas - I generally arrive late the first night or early in the morning in Bangkok so someone who gets me to Pattaya in a hurry is a priority.

I also often carry a lot of cash to convert at airport to avoid ATM fees so I want someone who is reliable and not a gypsy cab.

Reviewing the above, Mr. T gets a lot of positives, but some negatives, and my one try with them was one of my worst experiences ever with a cab in Thailand.

Mr. Toom may rate 2nd for positives and only one negative, and PT is generally good as well.

However the limopattaya looks very professional (website, cold water) so maybe I'll try them this time.

[vangough05]

I have always used MR. T. Cars are modern, clean and drivers are SAFE drivers and offer good service.

1000 baht BK to Patts/ 900 baht Patts to BK
