What the cheapest, most economical way to get to Pattaya from Bangkok?

I'm planning to take a trip to Bangkok and Pattaya in Jan 07 on a low budget. Any recommendations or suggestions? Thanks!

1. swimming very hard
2. Apart from walking - Hitch-hiking is the cheapest but not a good idea as yo will likely be robbed. Take a bus - cheap, and adventurous and you will see a lot along the way. There are also plenty of tour operators with very good prices. The link below will give you more info
3. share a cab
4. The cheapest way is the bus. Should take 3 hours or more though and will cost somewhere in the area of 200 baht.
5. From Bangkok, catch the bus from Ekamai or Mo Chit Bus Terminals. Costs less than Bahts 120. A 2-2.5 hours ride and you'll be in Pattaya. The other way is by a taxi. Negotiate for the price, should be around bahts 1000-1200. Have fun :-)
6. Most economical and cheapest? Walking, just kidding. There are buses that come from either the Airport, hotel, or Eastern(Ekkamai station) or Northern(Mo Chit station) bus station in Bangkok. Cost from 80baht to 200 baht. See website below for further info and phone numbers. http://www.pattaya.com/pattayainfo/go/index.htm or http://www.a2zpattaya.com/index.htm I think the www.a2zpattaya.com has the more current info. Have a good trip.
