Reasonable Western Breakfast at Pattaya @ Baht 60 per person. You can have various choices consisting of 2 pieces of toast with butter & jam, coffee or tea, plus bacon, ham, sausages and 2 eggs cooked in various styles.
The most reasonable and delicious Western breakfast at Pattaya at Baht 60/person. We can hardly find similar breakfast in Malaysia at similar prices.

We had a simple and economical 5 Days/4 Nights trip to Pattaya and Bangkok from 16th - 20th July 2009. Our group consisted by my younger brother & family, i.e. Heng Wan, Sister-in-law, Rina Chee and my 2 nephews, Wai Onn & Wai Kit plus my elder sister, Lai Meng and myself, Heng Kei.
We arrived at Bangkok Airport, cleared immigration and then took the airport shuttle bus to the transportation centre. From here, we boarded the Pattaya Bus @ Baht 106/each. On arrival, we took a Tut-tuk to our guesthouse - The Victoria Inn, Soi 6, Pattaya. It was a reasonable guesthouse with free wifi and cost us Baht 600/standard room. The next day, we had an economical tour to Coral Island, etc. plus lunch @ Baht 400 per person.

We left Pattaya on 18 July 2009 by Bus directly to Ekamai Eastern Bus station @ Baht 113/person. On arrival, took another bus to our guesthouse, The Riverview Guesthouse which was nearby Hualamphong Railway Station and Chinatown - which were our usual places of accomodation within Bangkok due to the reasonable food, shopping, easy transportation within Bangkok. The cost of our guesthouse was Baht 650/standard room. As usual, we had our usual Chao Phraya River Taxi ride to The Grand Palace and the nearby attractions.
We left Bangkok via our usual economical travel via train from Hualamphong to Hua Takhe @ Baht 7 person for almost an hour ride to this station. However, we were surprised that they have stopped the usual bus service from this station to Airport transportation centre (usual: Baht 15/person) but nevertheless, taxi services are available from here to the airport and it cost us a reasonable Baht 100/taxi right up to the airport.
