Central Festival Pattaya Beach

Central Festival is a huge Shopping mall located along Pattaya Beach Road (see map). You can reach there by taking "baht bus" (minibus). Or in Thai called Songtaew (meaning two rows).

You can wave at them wherever you are and press the buzzer when you reach your destination. No bus stop. Once you press the buzzer, they will stop.

They horn to catch passengers along the way. Usually the fare is 10 Baht for short destination. Just hand over THB10 to the driver when alight and go off. If THB20, he will call you back. I took few times always THB10. Usually i board and alight around the red route highlighted below. Very easy and convenient.
