What is a VIP van in Pattaya?
A VIP van in Pattaya is your own van and driver, waiting outside every stop: from ฿6,500 for 10 hours in a luxury van for up to 4, or ฿3,500 each way from Bangkok in a party van for up to 10. Your Pattaya airport transfer runs from Suvarnabhumi, Don Mueang or U-Tapao.
The driver holds your name in arrivals. The bags go in the back, the cold water is in the door, and the group stays together. From there, the same van takes you to the villa, the beach club, dinner and the club, and waits.
Ask Tanner to meet your flight.
The van is one part of our VIP services.
How much does the van cost?
The luxury van with a driver starts from ฿6,500 for 10 hours, for up to 4 guests, VAT included. The party van runs Bangkok to Pattaya for ฿3,500 each way, for up to 10. Fuel is always included, and tolls normally are. Every price is per van, never per person.
- Luxury van with driver: up to 4 guests, all day in Pattaya, from ฿6,500 for 10 hours.
- Party van: up to 10 guests, Bangkok to Pattaya, ฿3,500 each way.
- Party bus: up to 20 guests, Bangkok and Pattaya; Tanner prices it for your date.
- Coach: 20 guests or more; Tanner prices it for your date.
There's no night surcharge, and a late flight doesn't cost you extra waiting time. Hold the van with your flight numbers. Tanner gets back to you right away.
How long is the drive from Suvarnabhumi to Pattaya?
Most groups land at Suvarnabhumi, about 1 hour 55 minutes and 149 km from Pattaya by car (Google Maps, checked November 2026). The toll on Motorway 7 is ฿105 each way, the Motorway Department says, and it's inside our price.
Don Mueang is Bangkok's second airport, with mostly low-cost and domestic flights, run by Airports of Thailand, AOT's own site says. Allow about 2 hours from there to Pattaya.
U-Tapao is the close one: about 40 minutes and 47 km to Pattaya (Google Maps, checked November 2026). It has few flights, but private jets and regional routes land there, and our driver meets those too.
Insider tip: add the VIP airport arrival from ฿6,500, and our host meets you at the gate, using the priority lane where your ticket or status allows. Send Tanner the airport and the flight number.
Pair the van with airport fast track at the gate.

Can we hire the van by the day or the week?
Yes. Pattaya van hire with us is by the day, from ฿6,500 for 10 hours in the luxury van: the same van takes the group from the villa to the beach club, dinner and the club. Half days and 24-hour hire work too, priced for your plan.
By the week, you can ask to keep the same driver for the whole stay. We try hard to make that happen, though it isn't guaranteed. The plan goes to the driver in Thai, so nobody explains the address at 3am.
Ask Tanner for the van for your whole week.
Which vans do you run?
We run three kinds of van: the Mercedes Sprinter, our largest; the Toyota Alphard, the luxury van for up to 4; and the Toyota Commuter, the party van for up to 10.
The Alphard is the one for a couple or a small group who want leather seats and quiet. The Commuter takes the whole group and the bags in one go. The Sprinter is for a bigger group that wants to stay in one van.
Thai law has required seat belts in the back seat since 5 September 2022, with a fine of up to ฿2,000, so everyone buckles up. Tanner's pick: for a group of friends, take the party van from the airport and the luxury van for the nights out.
Can one driver cover the whole trip?
Yes. Your Pattaya private driver stays with the group, and the van ties the trip together: the pool villa, the yacht day from Ocean Marina, a private tour and your VIP section at one of the big Pattaya nightclubs. Tanner matches the cars to your plan, so nobody waits for a taxi between stops.
For a company group, see corporate events: we run van fleets for offsites and incentive trips. Plan it with Tanner.

Our party van from Bangkok to Pattaya is ฿3,500 each way for up to 10 guests, VAT included. A luxury van with a driver is from ฿6,500 for 10 hours, for up to 4.
How long is the drive from Bangkok airport to Pattaya?
About 1 hour 55 minutes and 149 km from Suvarnabhumi, Google Maps shows. Friday evenings and holiday weekends take longer, so Tanner plans the pickup around the traffic.

About 40 minutes and 47 km by car, Google Maps shows. Our driver meets regional flights and private jets at U-Tapao, and the van takes you straight to the villa or hotel.

Yes. The luxury van is from ฿6,500 for 10 hours, and you can ask to keep the same driver all week. Tanner prices the week to your plan.
Is a Bangkok to Pattaya private transfer better than a taxi?
For a group, yes. A private taxi Bangkok to Pattaya takes 4 at most, so a group splits up and arrives at different times. One party van takes up to 10 and the bags, for ฿3,500 each way.
What if our flight is late?
The driver tracks your flight number and waits in arrivals, with no charge for the extra waiting time. A 2am landing just moves the pickup.
Is Pattaya van rental priced per person?
No. Every van is priced per van, never per person, with fuel and VAT inside. Tolls are normally included, and there's no night surcharge after midnight.
Can the same van take us out at night?
Yes. The luxury van waits outside every stop for 10 hours, from ฿6,500, so the driver takes you from dinner to the club and back to the villa.
