new airport ransfer to pattaya

Can a local or recent past visitor please advise on transfers (taxi, bus) from the new airport to Ptya. Regular services? Taxi: official versus private. I knew the deals at the old don Muang etc but would like to hear about the tricks of the trade at the new airport. Distance / time from airport to Ptya? Any transport there for late night arrivals?
Better to stay a night in BKK and take the bus? Is the new airport located closer to Ptya and can one thus bypass BKK altogether?
Please advise (only serious comments, please). Thanks guys.

I agree if any hotel offers pick up as good as Ambiance, I would definitely take it all the way to the room.

Can't resist this one.... Wx ???? YOU got nerve to say someone has a bad username. Who could have worse than you?

My thoughts exactly but I refrained from commenting directly as the mentally challenged one thrives on throwing insults but ignores those thrown at him (perhaps he doesn't really understand or is too thick to know when he is being insulted :geek: ) .

thanks, ttom, for the info - much appreciated.
to the nutcase with that ridiculous username (is it a name? or a description of intelllectual inferiority?) wx40afp: get a life, my boy, you must be part of that trailer trash that inhabits much of ptya. ah, but what does one expect from acdc fans - mate, you really are so seventies ..... you are living proof that normal communication in this forum is becoming increasingly impossible. to top it off, you lack wit, intellect and i certainly hope that i don't bump into you anywhere..... if you do find some spare time, brush up on your english - it is atrocious.
