How to get there

It is fairly easy to get to the Pattaya Music Festival 2007. There is the possibility to reach Pattaya by plane directly from Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Phuket. Orient Thai Airlines will fly you directly from these 3 Thai cities to the U-Tapao airport in Pattaya. From there, you have to calculate another 45 minutes to Pattaya. This makes the plane a good option when coming from Chiang Mai or Phuket but when coming from Bangkok it is nearly not worth it as a car ride (with a taxi or rented car) takes only around 2 hours.
Bus service is also available and the cheapest option to go to Pattaya which takes around 3 hours. You can even reach Pattaya by train but this takes 5 hours from Bangkok so is not advisable.
