Songthaews or `Baht Buses` are one of the most common forms of transportation in Pattaya used by locals and tourists. Baht buses drive around the main areas in Pattaya providing rides on the back of a pick-up truck with two benches where passengers sit. The cost of a short journey on board one of these authentic trucks will cost around 10 baht, which is paid when you get off the bus. There are buzzers in the rear to press when you want to exit. You can wave down a baht bus from the street or find them around the beaches, shopping malls, and tourist attractions. One of the most frequently used routes on the baht bus is a circular route along Beach Road with a left on South Pattaya Road to Second Raod then to Dolphin Roundabout and back to Beach Road.

There are some metered taxis found in Pattaya, many are taxis that came from Bangkok with passengers and will take fares in the city while they wait to transport passengers traveling back to Bangkok. They can be found in abundance outside strategic locations such as shopping malls and on the main street in town. Many refuse to use their meters so it is best to negotiate the price before you take a ride.
