   I had a quote of 1,500 Bahts but had to pay petrol that was from someone in Jomtien so maybe it can be done. thought The big yellow bus from pattaya bus station was only around 400 - 500 baht pp and was ok! even stops for food on route

Having just come back from Buriram you say impossible 3000Baht for taxi from Pattaya to Buriram well i ended up paying 3500 as we ended up stayin in Prasat, Surin which was further than i told him so fair enough!
When he picked me up he camee from Pattaya stayed in the same hotel as me which was Lawadee Garden Resort in Prasat paid for fan room 350 Baht had breakfast etc then 10am we set off for Pattaya! The guy is not from Buriram nor Surin and doesn't know anybody their!
The reason he can drive me to Buriram/Surin is simple his car runs on gas he filled it 3 times on the way back at a cost of approx 100Baht a time so you do the maths he's making around 3000Baht give or take for a long days work or a day and a half either way good money for him!

my car runs on Gas....1 tank from Prasat to Pattaya, 1400 baht, then the return trip same. If he can do it on 300 baht unbelieveable , it cost me that on my motorcycle to Surin and back, about 160 KM.

I know gas is supposed to be cheap, but 1400bt one way Prasat to Pattaya is very pang! I do the trip in my petrol run car from Prakhonchai for less than 1000bt each way - and I don't hang about! Surprisingly, and I haven't established the reason, it uses less petrol when the family come with me.

Now that is with the wife driving at 120-140 most of the time. But my pickup is about the same on fuel.  It cost me about 800 baht for my motorcycle to Pattaya again running about 120 most of the time.

Why would you pay an extra 500 baht when the distance Pattaya-Buriram  & Pattaya -Prasat is vitually identical when you use the shorter route along Highway 24???

To be truethful about this i did say Buriram and wasn't sure where the GF family lived just she told driver Buriram the first time i went was with a driver for Mr Sea and when we said Prast he said that's Surin not Buriram as quoted befrore soi think fair enough! However we didn't set off till around 9pm and by the time we were getting near korat i noticed the driver becoming tired and basically i was just glad to get to the resort in one piece!
The return journey Mr sea himself drove down the night before and stopped at resort so he was fresh for the drive back which did go smoothly!
The GF does live in Buriram but the resort was in Surin!
The last time iwas up there was around a week ago now and i had to attend to some business in Bangkok so the easiest option for me was to fly nok air as a return ticket at short notice was around 3700 with all taxes etc this was a return flight so for not much more we and less hassle we flew there 1 hour we were in Buriram i tried to book a car through this website but appeared to be non available so as we were staying at the samr resort James offered to pick us up from airport free of charge, then later he drove us back to the airport which was really good of him, he's a stand up guy and a gentleman and felt at ease with him as soon as you meet him and nothing seems too much hassle for him!
Anyone wishing to see pics of resort i suggest you follow the link in one of the previous posts!
Buriram see you again soon!

But why go to Korat to get to Buriram,,Highway 24 thro Chok Chai & Nang Rong is shorter & a damn sight quicker!!!!
