I am riding from Hua Hin to Pattaya. Does anybody know which bridge I can cross on a big bike? I heard last year they made some bridges illegal to cross?

 

Thanks in advance for any info.

Unless someone has been on it lately I do not believe the Phrapdeang Ferry operates anymore. Most bikes will use Bhumipol 2 bridge for the short squirt across from Suksawat road via Industrial Ring to Phuchao Saming Phray road. Technically not allowed but everyone does it.

 

Depending on the time of day, your wish to ride in BKK traffic and your nav. skills and the fact you do get a bit of a break. The Wat Bang Nam Phueng Nok motorbike ferry is the one. 13.682603 100.586718 .It takes you straight to the end of Bang Na-Trat. If you have a very large bike and short legs it does take a bit of slow speed riding skill at the Bang Na end but other wise OK.

The Wat Bang Nam Phueng Nok motorbike ferry is still running. 13.682603 100.586718 . Agreed it is a challenge to find it but it takes you straight to the end of Bang Na-Trat. 

 

This is the OPs best bet, unless they want to drive through downtown BKK.

I used this ferry, about a year ago, and it was only about ฿15 for crossing.

And like VocalNeal said, it brings you out just a few blocks from the Bang Na-Trat expressway.

thank you everyone for taking the time to respond.

 

very helpful.
