TaaSaparot Posted February 12, 2019 Share Posted February 12, 2019 I want to go the Navy Stadium Sattahip. I plan to just go up to the Sukhumvit and get a White Baht Bus going to Sattahip. Can I get off close to the Stadium, or ? Also, will be looking to head back to Pattaya around 8.30pm, will this be possible to do with a White Baht Bus ? Thanks for any advice.

bbko Posted February 13, 2019 Share Posted February 13, 2019 Maybe get a Thai person to write "Navy Stadium Satthip?" in Thai (สนามกีฬาราชนาวีสัตหีบ) and show the paper to the driver/fellow passengers and soon to be hired Satthip motorbike taxi. As for the return trip I have no idea of the evening/night times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From there you will need to know which one to change to in order to complete that journey. Thanks. I did wonder if this was the case in that they only run as far as town centre, but did not realise I could then take another one further south. Also now wondering if it would be best to just board a Rayong bound bus on the Sukhumvit, and tell the driver I want to get off at Navy Stadium (Kilo Haa) ?

Any thoughts on the return journey around 8.30pm ? What time do the White Baht Buses stop running ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certain by that time no go. You could stay the night perhaps . It’s not an easy place to get cabs either. Yellow baht bus runs go that way and pass hospital so that would be the one you need from Sattahip but on return definitely not at that time.

But if I can get myself to Sattahip Town Centre, then I could still get a White Baht Bus back to Pattaya ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I’m sure around 6pm they finish , they have a depot just near Tesco Lotus Sattahip but no idea how to contact them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbko Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 Surely those white mini vans aren't the only way in/out of Sattahip, maybe start looking into buses to and from Rayong or Satthip to Pattaya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TaaSaparot Posted February 19, 2019 Author Share Posted February 19, 2019 Just a follow up to what happened in the end. Crossed the Sukhumvit at Pattaya Tai, and was told by a White Baht Bus Driver that I would be better taking the Rayong Minibus that was also sitting there. Minibus dropped us off at the entrance to the Stadium for a 50 baht fare. Took the advice of everyone that the return journey would be difficult, and on the advice of a Pattaya Taxi Driver I know, booked a local Taxi Driver to take us back to Pattaya for 500 baht, compared to the 1000 baht any Pattaya Taxi wanted, which was well worth the money. Would have no problem doing it this way again. Thanks for all the advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KneeDeep Posted February 20, 2019 Share Posted February 20, 2019 The aforementioned minibus also sounds useful for going to U-Tapao. Might be worth searching out a timetable. I will ask, if I remember when next in the area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
