Pattani Getting there & around

Getting there & around

Sǎwngthǎew go anywhere in town for 15B per person. Daily buses to Bangkok depart from the small lot beside a petrol station near the CS Pattani Hotel – call 0 7334 8816 for ticket purchase and reservations. The trip is 15 to 16 hours and costs between 600B and 1500B, depending on the fanciness of the bus – if amenities like bathrooms and reclining seats matter, ask what kind of bus you’re paying for, otherwise you’ll likely be thrown on the first to depart.
