One of the most famous resorts in Thailand has long been firmly inhabited by tourists from the countries of the former socialist camp. Now they are happy to indulge in all the delights of a capitalist vacation, especially since there are many places in Pattaya where you can have fun and relax.
In this main resort in Thailand, many things are unusual for a European tourist, for example, transport in Pattaya looks very exotic. Lots of bicycles and mopeds, obscure passenger cars, adorned with advertisements from roof to wheels.
The resort has several main highways, some run parallel to the beach line, others circle the city in a circle, linking its different areas into a single whole. The main feature is that no European will remember the names of these roads either the first time or the second.
Caution: Taxi
In Pattaya, as in any world resort, taxis are well established. And exactly the same cunning or arrogant drivers can be. Therefore, if there is a need to quickly get to some point in the city, you should try to catch a car with checkers, without resorting to the help of those who are in the parking lot.
This method is always cheaper. But it is important that the taxi driver turns on the meter, otherwise the cost of the trip will be much more expensive than the official price. If the taxi driver does not agree to turn on the meter and there is no other way to leave, then serious bargaining is appropriate.
Motorcycle taxis are also popular with resort guests; it is easy to recognize the driver of such a vehicle by a brightly colored vest. Traveling on a motorcycle is a pretty extreme form of transportation, so you should definitely wear a helmet.
Almost your car
If a group of tourists is planning to travel a lot around the city and its surroundings in addition to relaxing on the beach, you can rent a car. The rental period is from a day to a month or more, the cost decreases as the time increases.
Moreover, you can use a car or rent a motorcycle, which is much more convenient to move around the city. The amount of the payment is immediately paid in full, the car is driven to the hotel for the client, and the car is picked up from here. The tourist will have to buy gasoline for their hard-earned money.

Knock knock: car
A covered pickup truck with two rows of seats is the most unusual form of transport in Pattaya, of course, in the eyes of an inexperienced tourist. It is somewhat reminiscent of a fixed-route taxi, but with some peculiarities. If the tourist persuades the driver to go in the direction he needs, then everyone else is forced to leave the car, however, there is no need to pay for the fare in this case.
