Yes, I mentioned April on the earlier post. I got that from their web-site that Robislo posted a while back.

Any word on the cost to get from Airport to Nana? Someone on another site mentioned around 100 baht.

A useful contact for a limo ride between Bangkok/Pattaya and Pattaya/Bangkok.
I recently used the "Jimbo Taxi Service" from The Nana Hotel (The Bangkok Mothership) to the Evergreen (Areca Lodge - Pattaya). A very pleasant, safe and friendly driver with an agreed cost of B1,300 (inc. tolls).
24 hours notice is required, unless you catch this friendly bald Thai chauffeur in the a.m. in or around Sukhumvit Soi4 (outside NEP/Nana Hotel).

It may not be the most convenient, but definitely the cheapest option. Most people are chomping at the bit to get to Patts, so waiting around for one of the 4 buses could be unbearable . Plus you arrive at bus terminal in Patts which is more than a walk to hotels.
Bangkok Airport to Pattaya By Bus
There lots of tour buses going from outside the Arrivals Terminal, but these are chartered to groups, so for the independent traveler, its necessary to go to the Ordinary Bus Terminal.
There is a free shuttle bus from outside the main terminal.
The stop is at the far end of the row of bus stops outside the convenience store, having turned left when coming out of the lower floor of the main building.
The free shuttle takes about 15 minutes to get to the bus station as it stops at various administrative buildings on the way.
The bus station is the last stop, so there’s no need to worry about getting off at the wrong stop.
The bus to Pattaya is at the far end of the row of bus stops, and is signposted in Thai and English.
The fare is around 110 Baht for the air conditioned bus and they currently have four services from 6am through to 7pm.
The bus number is 999 and the journey time is around 2hours.
