🚐 Pre-book an airport transfer →Getting Around
Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK) → Mac Garden Hotel, Rayong
💡 Go to the official taxi stand at the airport (gate 4 or 7 on level 1) to avoid touts. Meter plus 50 baht surcharge is standard; the fixed price quoted at the counter is often higher but hassle-free. Ask the driver to use Highway 7 — it's faster than the coastal road.
Ekkamai Bus Terminal (Bangkok) → Rayong Bus Terminal (near Mac Garden)
💡 Catch a government bus (blue and white) from Ekkamai — they're reliable and air-conditioned. Get off at the Rayong bus terminal, then take a songthaew or motorbike taxi (50 THB) to Mac Garden on Sukhumvit Road. Avoid the private vans that hang around the terminal; they overcharge.
Rayong city center (e.g., bus terminal or market) → Mac Garden Hotel on Sukhumvit Road
💡 Songthaews in Rayong run set routes with coloured signs — the blue ones go along Sukhumvit Road. Flag one down, tell the driver your stop (or show the hotel name in Thai), and pay the flat fare when you get off. They're slow and can be hot, but they're dirt cheap and locals use them.
U-Tapao Rayong-Pattaya International Airport (UTP) → Mac Garden Hotel, Rayong
💡 U-Tapao is smaller than BKK but closer. Taxis queue outside arrivals; fix the price before getting in. Morning flights are cheaper as fewer people head to Rayong. Check if your hotel offers pickup — some do for an extra fee.
