Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) to Pattaya, and getting around once you’re here — the routes our own members use. Thai Airways runs regular direct services into BKK from across the world.
The main airport is Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi (BKK). Royal Varuna Yacht Club is in Pattaya — allow roughly two hours from the terminal.
From 1,200 Thai baht upward depending on driver and car size. Our members use these drivers personally — arrange a pick-up in advance.
From the 1st floor of the main terminal building to Jomtien Station, then a local taxi to the club.
Level 2, arrival floor of the airport. More comfortable, priced accordingly.
Ride-hailing apps cover most day-to-day trips, cheaply and reliably — here's exactly how to use them.
Thailand's dominant ride-hailing app — the local equivalent of Uber, and the one most drivers and hotel staff will recognize by name.
An Estonian ride-hailing app with a growing presence in Pattaya — sailors on Tripadvisor and forums consistently report it as noticeably cheaper than street taxis for the same trip.
Ask reception at the club to call a private taxi — a fitted pick-up truck or van that takes up to 12 passengers is ideal for teams moving gear and crew together. Neither Grab nor Bolt reliably offer vehicles that large.
