A taxi is the best way BUT:
As said before, the price is definitely NOT only 800 Baht.
The price is 2000 Baht whereas it can probably negotiated down to 1500.Less than that is impossible.
Don't take a plane. Adding check-in time, check-out and transport to Pattaya city (as the airport is not in Pattaya) the whole trip takes at least as long as the taxi ride. on a normal day the taxiride shouldn't take longer than 2 hours.

Take a taxi direct from the Airport to Pattaya - costs around 2000 Baht, maybe cheaper if you negotiate, takes around 2 to 3 hours depending on traffic

I did it last week - from the airport simplest is to take an airport taxi for 1,500 - 2,000 baht (depends on type of car). You will see the signs once you pass customs and people will approach you asking if you need a ride somewhere. If you take a taxi with meter be prepared to argue with the guy etc. because they will want a flat rate of 2,000 baht in a smelly taxi. Its a 2 hour ride - so if you pay a little more it will be a better ride.

Van like busses or regular busses leave airport constantly for only about $2.00 US. Hotel reccomendation: Tui's Place, right on the beach and about $12-14 a night. Great place to visit and have lots of fun. I live in Bangkok but go there often. Friend has a new condo on beach.

Regular taxis @ Bahts 800 onwards
Chauffeur driven cars from rental companies from Bahts 2000 onwards
Bus from Mo Chit or Ekamai Bus Terminals at Bahts 110
Give yourself 2.5 hours of travelling time. Have fun.

Yeah, a taxi will take you there. But you will probably have to find some other way to get back, like a bus.

A senior banker has warned that there has been a dramatic rise in the number of counterfeit credit cards and ATM cards in Phuket and other tourism centers, such as Chiang Mai and Haad Yai.
Prayootd Tansrisuwarn, Senior Vice President of Kasikorn Bank’s Retail and SME E-Business Department, told the Gazette that gangs of con artists are using “skimmer” devices to harvest information from magnetic strips on the back of cards used by unsuspecting victims.
The skimmers are used in two ways. Either they are inserted into the slot of an ATM machine, or they are used by accomplices working in jobs that involve handling credit cards, such as hotel cashiers and supermarket check-out staff.
The information skimmed from a card is then used to make a fake credit card or ATM card.
K. Prayootd said the rise in counterfeiting may be the resu lt of Thailand’s neighbors switching from cards with magnetic memory strips to “smart” cards with computer chips embedded in them. As “smart” cards cannot be read by the skimmers, K. Prayootd is urging card users in Thailand to switch to smart cards as soon as they find a bank that can issue them.
Counterfeiting gangs have been using “cloned” credit cards to buy goods from retail outlets, especially hypermarkets such as Tesco-Lotus and Big C, he said.
Those responsible for handling credit cards should therefore examine them very carefully, he added.
There are ways to detect the fakes, he explained.
“The logo of the issuing company, such as Visa or Mastercard, should be printed very clearly and the credit card number should be sharply and clearly embossed – you should not be able to erase it or scratch it out.
“On the back of the card, the signature area should be sharpl y defined and impossible to scratch off. In addition, examine the credit card number on the back. If it is in italicized numerals that are leaning to the right, it’s fake,” he said.
Banks advise users of ATM cards to change their personal identification number (PIN) regularly in order to stop counterfeiters from drawing cash from their accounts. In addition, anyone suspecting his or her credit card has been cloned should contact the issuing bank immediately.
