Chennai To Pattaya Distance

Chennai is the city most easily connected from India to the South-east Asian destinations. Chennai to Pattaya distance is the least among the other major metro cities, the flights are more frequent and often much cheaper than other airports.

Here's how to reach Pattaya from Chennai by air, road, and rail.

By Air: Keeping in mind that Chennai to Pattaya flight distance of 2245 km is the least among all the other cities, availing a flight is the best possible means of transportation. However, there are no Chennai to Pattaya direct flight usually from Chennai International Airport, Meenambakkam to the nearest airport in Pattaya, U-Tapao. They usually have one stopover, mostly at Bangkok, sometimes at Kuala Lumpur or Phuket City. Sometimes they have two stops. The whole journey takes 11-13 hours depending on the airline carrier. The best and fastest flights are offered by Air India and Bangkok Airlines.

By Road: Travelling the 100-hour road distance from Chennai to Pattaya is very much time to consume as well as effortful. The road distance between the two cities is more than 5000 km – one has to cross the entire east coast of India, take the India-Myanmar-Thailand road and then avail buses from Bangkok to reach Pattaya. Since buses are frequent and convenient from Bangkok airport or Ekamai terminal, many people avail that road route to Pattaya. But it is best to take a flight at least till Bangkok.

By Rail: There is no railway connection between Chennai and Pattaya because of obvious geographical and political barriers. But if one wants to reach Pattaya by rail anyway, there is a daily train from Bangkok’s Hua Lamphong station to Pattaya station. The 3-hour journey is enjoyable and costs less than 40 TBH – a real bargain.

Ahmedabad

Pravinmdeshmukh's 4 days trip to Pattaya

Very good experience, every thing was as planned. All services and arrangements were good.

Naveen Shrivastava

New delhi

Naveen's 14 days trip to Pattaya

Overall, we had a very good experience with our travel agent. The trip was planned well, all commitments were fulfilled as promised, and the coordination throughout the journey was smooth. The team was responsive, professional, and ensured that transfers, sightseeing, and bookings were arranged prop

erly, making the trip hassle-free. The only major disappointment was the hotel selected in Pattaya. The rooms were quite compact, we encountered cockroaches in the room, and the towels provided were not up to the expected standard. This part of the experience could have been much better. The itinerary was well designed overall; however, for some outdoor attractions, scheduling visits during the evening would have been preferable, especially during the summer season, to avoid the intense daytime heat and make sightseeing more comfortable. Despite these points, we appreciate the effort and support provided by the travel agent. The trip was enjoyable, and with a little more attention to hotel selection and timing of certain activities, the experience could have been excellent.

Abhi Pawar

Mumbai

Abhi's 9 days trip to Pattaya

I recently completed my Thailand trip with Travelopedia, and it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. Everything was very well organized — right from airport transfers to hotel stays, island tours, and local coordination. The itinerary was smooth, comfortable, and perfectly planned, which

made the trip completely stress-free for us.

Vrushabh Shah

Mumbai

Vrushabh's 7 days trip to Pattaya

We recently booked an 11-day, 10-night land package to Thailand with Travtree Holidays, covering Bangkok, Phuket, and Krabi. Traveling with a 2-year-old can be challenging, but the overall experience was smooth and well-coordinated. Our itinerary was packed with great activities. In Bangkok, Safa

ri World was a huge hit with our little one, and the temple tours were beautiful. The Krabi leg was fantastic—the 7 Island Tour and the Jungle Tour were standouts. In Phuket, the Phi Phi Island tour and the Old City tour were both well-managed and enjoyable. Since we only opted for the land package and airport transfers, we relied heavily on their punctuality. The transfers were seamless, which is a massive relief when you’re hauling luggage and a toddler! The only disappointment was the Elephant Sanctuary tour. It felt very rushed, lasting only about an hour and a half, which didn't quite meet our expectations compared to the quality of the other excursions. Overall, we had a wonderful family holiday. Travtree Holidays provided great service and reliable transport. Highly recommended for families looking for a well-organized Thailand experience!

Lizandra Rodrigues

Goa

Lizandra's 5 days trip to Pattaya

We recently booked our family trip to Thailand with Travtree Holidays, and it turned out to be an absolutely wonderful experience from start to finish. The entire itinerary was very well organized, making the trip smooth and stress-free—especially important when traveling with young children (our ki

ds are 2 and 5 years old). All pick-ups were perfectly on time, and the vehicles provided were clean, comfortable, and spacious, which made commuting easy and relaxing for the whole family. The hotels arranged for us were excellent—family-friendly, comfortable, and conveniently located. Everything was thoughtfully planned, allowing us to enjoy each destination without any hassle. A special mention goes to our visits to Siam Ocean World (sea life) and Safari World & Marine Park. Both experiences were incredibly impressive and became the highlight of our trip. Siam Water World was fantastic for the kids, with exciting views of the sea creatures penguins etc that they thoroughly enjoyed. Safari World was equally amazing—the safari drive and shows were captivating, and seeing the animals up close was a memorable experience for both adults and children. Overall, Travtree Holidays ensured a seamless, enjoyable, and perfectly managed vacation for our family. We truly appreciate their professionalism and attention to detail and would highly recommend them to anyone planning a trip to Thailand—especially families traveling with young kids.

Frequently Asked Questions

Pattaya Travel FAQs

What is the nearest airport to Pattaya?

The nearest airport is U-Tapao, or Rayong-Pattaya International (UTP), about 45 km south of central Pattaya. That is roughly a 40 to 45 minute drive. It runs limited regional and charter flights, so most international travellers fly into Bangkok instead.

Does Pattaya have its own airport?

Not a major one. U-Tapao (UTP) serves the Pattaya and Rayong area but handles only a small number of regional and seasonal routes. For a flight from India you will land in Bangkok and travel on by road.

Which is the nearest international airport to Pattaya?

Suvarnabhumi (BKK) in Bangkok is the nearest international airport with wide connectivity, about 120 km away and 1.5 to 2 hours by road. U-Tapao is physically closer but has far fewer international flights, so BKK is the practical answer for most trips.

How far is Pattaya from Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi airport?

About 120 km, which takes 1.5 to 2 hours by road down Motorway 7 depending on traffic. Don Mueang (DMK), Bangkok's other airport, is farther at about 150 km and 2.5 to 3 hours.

How do I get from Bangkok airport to Pattaya, and what does it cost?

Take a Roong Reuang Coach or Bell Travel Service bus from Suvarnabhumi to Pattaya's Jomtien or North Pattaya bus station, or a taxi. A shared minibus is about 200 to 250 THB a seat and a metered or private taxi is roughly 700 to 800 THB, with fixed airport taxis closer to 1,000 THB. Confirm current fares before you travel.

How do I reach Pattaya from India?

Fly nonstop to Bangkok (BKK) in about 4 to 4.5 hours from the major metros, then take a bus, minibus or taxi to Pattaya, roughly another 1.5 to 2 hours. Allowing for immigration and the transfer, plan on about 6 to 8 hours door to door on a nonstop routing.

Is there a train to Pattaya?

Yes. A local train runs from Bangkok's Hua Lamphong station toward the eastern seaboard and reaches the Pattaya area in about 3 to 3.5 hours, plus a short transfer into town. Departures are limited and it is slower than the coach, but it is inexpensive.

How long does it take to reach Pattaya from the airport?

From U-Tapao (UTP) it is 40 to 45 minutes. From Suvarnabhumi (BKK) allow 1.5 to 2 hours, and from Don Mueang (DMK) about 2.5 to 3 hours because of the extra distance across Bangkok.
