The Molokai hawaii race is the top open ocean sup race. 51 km usually downwind. Fastest pro time is 4 hours or 13 km/hr. so the best pro in the world would do Pattaya to HH in about 9 hours. A normal paddler would be half as fast or 18 hours to cross. But if you paddle into the wind it can more than double the transit time. Also December and June have the most extreme tides which will push you either north or south as the tid moves in the gulf. I would start at high tide in Pattaya and paddle directly downwind letting the wind determine the landing location on HH side. Probably would end up between cha am and Prachuap. 

You write absolutely true! I plan to start from Pattaya at 4am and reach the west coast of the bay at midnight. Here will be my geolocation on the way: https://aus-share.inreach.garmin.com/T3UGX More information and the exact start date on my page in FB: https://www.facebook.com/vladimir.kruchinin.7

Have a good one, should be 12 hours under the right conditions. ? 

I think it will take 18-22 hours. I don't expect perfect conditions all the way. The strength of the wind and its direction will change during the day.

He is crazy to paddle in that direction. Should go Pattaya to HH. Wind is almost always from NE which means he will paddle upwind rather than downwind. This makes a huge difference.

You are absolutely right! I will cross the Gulf from Pattaya to Hua Hin. There is an error in the title of the article.
