What is a VIP airport arrival for Pattaya?
A VIP airport arrival for Pattaya is a host at the gate with your name, your bags handled and the car outside, from ฿6,500 for the full arrival. Our VIP airport arrival Pattaya service runs at Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang, and Pattaya is about 1 hour 55 minutes by car from Suvarnabhumi. From the gate, the group stays together and the bags go to the driver.
How much does the arrival cost?
A VIP meet and greet at Suvarnabhumi is from ฿6,500 for the full arrival, or from ฿9,500 with the car, VAT included. The priority lane on its own is ฿2,400 per person. The right choice depends on how much you want handled. Send your flight numbers, and Tanner gets back to you right away.
The four ways to arrive:
- Full arrival with the car: host at the gate, bags handled, car waiting. From ฿9,500.
- Full arrival: host at the gate, bags collected and handed to the driver. From ฿6,500.
- Priority lane only: host at the gate and through passport control. ฿2,400 per person.
- Arrival and departure: the whole trip, both ends. Quoted for your dates.
Which is better: the full arrival or the priority lane?
Full arrival with the car is best for a group, from ฿9,500, because one host keeps everyone together from the gate to the car and nobody waits on a carousel. The priority lane on its own, at ฿2,400 per person, suits a guest travelling light. Tanner's pick for a group is the full arrival with the car.

How does the arrival run?
Your host meets you at the gate, and the bags go to the driver. At the Bangkok airport VIP arrival, your host uses the priority lane where your ticket or status allows, then collects the bags and hands them over. Tanner checks the lane against your tickets before you fly. Some flights arrive at the satellite terminal, SAT-1, about 1 km from the main terminal. A driverless train links the two in about three minutes, AOT's SAT-1 page says, and your host meets the group off the train. Tanner needs every guest's full name and flight number at least 24 hours before you land.
Which airports do you cover?
The VIP arrival Bangkok airport service covers Suvarnabhumi and Don Mueang, the two Bangkok airports, and our airport meet and greet Bangkok hosts work at both. Landing at U-Tapao? It has few flights, but the meet-and-assist and the van work there too, and it's about 40 minutes and 47 km to Pattaya by car (Google Maps, checked November 2026). Landing somewhere else? Tanner meets the group with the car instead and plans the drive.
Suvarnabhumi is the main international airport, run by Airports of Thailand, AOT's own site says, and most groups heading to Pattaya land there.
How long is the drive to Pattaya?
The drive from Suvarnabhumi to Pattaya is about 149 km, about 1 hour 55 minutes by car, Google Maps shows (checked November 2026). A luxury van with a driver is from ฿6,500 for 10 hours, for up to 4 guests. Tanner matches the cars to your plan, and the driver takes you straight to your pool villa or hotel. See every car on the VIP transport page.

What do we need before we fly?
Every guest needs the free Thailand Digital Arrival Card, filed online within 3 days before landing, the Royal Thai Embassy says. Save the QR code to your phone, because the signal can drop when you land. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs revised Thailand's visa exemption from 15 September 2026, thailand.go.th says, so check your passport's stay before you book flights.

What happens on the first night?
On the first night, you're at the villa by lunch if you land in the morning, and the party starts that evening. Dinner from a private chef, a nap, then your VIP section at one of the big Pattaya nightclubs. Or go straight to the water the next morning on your own yacht. Tanner builds the first 24 hours around your flight.
