Hi OSGeo,<br>
<br>
Pattaya city is special administrative city of Chonburi province and
located East side of Thailand. It will take about 90-120 minutes to
reach from the main international air-port to the conference venue.
There is excellent Highway road collection by passing the city
traffic. Taxi, buses (every hour) are available at any time and
would cost around 5USD for bus and 30USD for taxi.<br>
<br>
If you have plan for extend your stay and visit Chaing Mai, Phuket
or Samui Island. There is an airport 'U-Taprao' which is 30km from
Pattaya city and daily low-cost flight are available. Additionally,
the low-cost flights for China, Russian and South East Asia
countries are available.<br>
BTW, this airport is being upgraded and will be operated as an
International airport in mid of 2017 [1]. <br>
<br>
We would also like to point out that the conference venue and
surroundings is completely self-contained. Of course we are sure
that participants would like to see Bangkok City and we will have a
on site travel desk to take care of all local traveling needs.<br>
<br>
The weather of Pattaya in September is max 30 Celsius and minimum 25
degree Celsius. It is a wet month where we can expect rains. But it
is not everyday raining. We plan to include an umbrella in the
conference kit!! September is a lean tourist season in Pattaya so
you can expect the cheapest flight, hotel and even discounts at
restaurants and bars.<br>

Bangkok team <br>
<br>
Thanks for your Letter of Intent to host FOSS4G 2018. Here are my
questions to start things off, hopefully more will follow from
others <br>
<br>
For the benefit of those of us who are not familiar with Bangkok,
could you give us an indication of the climate in September <br>
How long is the transfer from Bangkok to Pattaya? <br>
<br>
Thanks <br>
