We are looking at ways of how we can get around living in Pattaya and aren't so keen on riding scooters and would be looking at getting a car and possibly a driver to drive us around.

The best way to get around Pattaya as an expat will depend on your needs and budget. Public transportation options in Pattaya include songthaews (shared taxis), tuk-tuks, and motorbike taxis.

These are generally affordable options, but can be crowded and may not be suitable for long distances. Alternatively, you can rent a motorbike or car, which will give you more flexibility and freedom to explore the city and surrounding areas.

You should make sure to have a valid driver's license and wear a helmet when riding a motorbike.
