Here are the options for transport from U-Tapao (UTP) airport.  
Search keywords:  Pattaya, U-Tapao Airport, UTP, AirAsia, Minibus, Shuttle, Taxi, Jomtien, Ban Phe, Koh Samet, Koh Samed, Bangkok, Don Muang Airport (DMK), Pattaya Central Festival, Public Transportation, Sattahip, Ban Chang, Bang Sare, Rayong, Sri Racha, Chonburi, Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK)
#1.  Shared Mini Bus:  Price - 250 THB

The desk is located in the arrivals hall on the right before you exit.  (see photo above)  Here you can book a shared mini bus to Pattaya and Jomtien.  You can also get to Ban Phe pier if you're heading to Koh Samet (higher price).  Just tell them the hotel you are staying at and pay 250 baht per person.  They will wait until the van is full (about 10 people) before departing.  I arrived on a very early flight so I needed to wait about an hour before a flight from Chiang Mai arrived to fill the van.   If you're not in a hurry, then this is a good option.

According to their sign, other destinations served include the following (prices vary): Don Muang Airport (DMK), Sattahip, Ban Chang, Bang Sare, Rayong, Sri Racha, Chonburi, Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK).

Pros: 
  • The most affordable option.
  • Great if you're a solo traveler or on a budget.  
  • Good if you're not in a rush

Cons: 
  • Need to wait until the van is full before departing.
  • Takes awhile to drop off passengers.
 #2.  Grab App (Asia's Uber) ~ 800 - 950 THB
Picture
You need to download the Grab app and it works just like Uber.   When my friend got a quote it was 800 baht but today when I tried I got 950 baht so the price may depend on time and availability just like with Uber with a surcharge during busy times.
#3.  Private Taxi - 1200 THB
I received a quote for 1200 baht for a private taxi into Pattaya Central.    If you have a family, a group or a lot of luggage, this may be the best option.

Summary for transport options into Pattaya and Jomtien:  ​​

  1. 250 baht - Shared mini bus 
  2. 800 baht - Grab private car
  3. 1200 baht - Private taxi 
As always, please leave your questions below.  Also leave a comment if the prices have changed and I'll do my best to keep this post current.
