Flying into Suvarnabhumi, Don Mueang or U-Tapao? Start with the right airport connection, then leave time for the transfer to Bali Hai Pier and your island ferry.
All three airports have a published road connection to Pattaya. None of the sources below establishes a protected connection to Koh Larn: your airport bus, pier transfer and ferry need separate planning. Posted bus fares were checked on 13 September 2026; confirm your travel date before booking.
Fares below are per person for the airport-to-Pattaya service—not the full journey to Koh Larn.
Bangkok · BKK
130฿posted / person
Roong Reuang Coach
The operator estimates about two hours, depending on traffic, and asks passengers to arrive at least 15 minutes before departure. Check seats before travelling.

155฿posted / person
Transport Co. express bus
AOT lists a 06:30–17:30 service window, not a complete set of departure times. Confirm your exact departure, seats and journey duration before booking around a ferry.
Check the airport listing for Don MueangPattaya–Rayong · UTP
150฿posted / person
Suvarnabhumi Burapha minibus
The operator publishes these three airport departures. The airport warns that schedules can change: confirm your date and pickup before relying on a connection.
Check the airport listing for U-TapaoThe important gap is the last mile. A Pattaya bus arrival is not arrival at the ferry. Confirm your drop-off, arrange the onward ride and check the ferry departures and ticket cutoff before committing to a same-day crossing.
Use this sequence when checking whether your flight and ferry work together.
Allow time to clear the airport and reach the correct bus counter. Confirm seats and the Pattaya drop-off with your road operator.
Your airport service does not establish a pier transfer. Arrange that separately and leave margin for traffic and the ticket queue.
40฿ per person was displayed when checked 23 August 2026. Reconfirm the island arrival and return before boarding.
Before you go: A flight delay or missed road departure can break the connection. If the timing no longer works, cross the following day instead of treating a late ferry as guaranteed.
Compare your available flights with the whole journey to the island, not just the airfare. All three airports have a published Pattaya road connection, but the road arrival, transfer to Bali Hai Pier and ferry are separate legs. Leave room for flight delays and traffic.
Link to this answerYes. Don Mueang’s official airport site lists a Transport Co. express bus to Pattaya at 155฿ per person, checked 13 September 2026. Confirm the exact departure, Pattaya drop-off and seats with the operator; these are not guaranteed by the listing.
Link to this answerNo through-ticket or protected ferry connection is established by the sources used here. Continue from your Pattaya drop-off to Bali Hai Pier A, then buy the appropriate Na Baan or Tawaen ferry ticket separately.
Link to this answerDo not plan around the last ferry without confirming all the intervening legs. Check the current ferry timetable against your actual road arrival and allow for the pier transfer and ticket cutoff. If that does not leave a workable margin, stay on the mainland and cross the next day.
