See what the cruise port of Laem Chabang (Thai: แหลมฉบัง) looks like- the gateway to Pattaya and Bangkok. We were at Laem Chabang in March 2018 as part of our 14 day Asia cruise aboard the Majestic Princess (aka 盛世公主号). Take a tour of the inside of the terminal building, where there is plenty of local shopping inside.

Getting off the ship, you will need the cruise card, arrival card, and passport. In the Laem Chabang Thailand Cruise Port Terminal building, Thailand Immigration does a full mandatory immigration inspection, and everyone has to attend even if you are staying on the ship. The cruise line (in our case, Princess Cruises) will then re-collect your passports while you can go on shore with just the copy.

For us, the arrival time was 8:30 AM while all aboard was 6:30 PM. We chose not to go to Bangkok because it is a 3+ hour drive there one way, so we do a DIY excursion and went to visit Pattaya instead which was about 45 minutes one way. Taxi there is $60 USD, but we chose the sightseeing option where the driver will drop us off at our destinations in Pattaya and wait for us. That was $110, but we were able to convince them to do it for $90. We visited the Sanctuary of Truth (see our video: [ Ссылка ]), the museum Art in Paradise, and had a bit of free time in the Pattaya streets.
