Pattaya-Hua Hin ferry suspended ahead of Pabuk storm

By The Nation

 

 

Ferry services between Pattaya and Hua Hin have been suspended ahead of the arrival of Tropical Storm Pabuk that is expected to hit southern Thailand tomorrow.

 

Although Pattaya and Hua Hin are not expected to be hit by the storm, the operators decided to suspend the services as a safety measure. Hua Hin’s beaches are now experiencing strong currents possibly from the impact of the impending storm. 

 

The operators will decide whether to lift the suspension on daily basis.

 

The Met Department has forecast that Pabuk (a Mekong giant catfish) will come to Surat Thani and Nakhon Si Thammarat on Friday and Saturday before moving to the Andaman Sea.

 

The presence of the storm would result in heavy rainfall, strong winds and high waves. Some southern residents have moved to higher ground.

Those huge cats are designed to plow through extreme weather but I guess authorities are terrified of killing more China men ????

The cats in question are not the huge car carrying cats you imagine. These are passenger only & spent a long time plowing the South China sea. First sensible news I've heard about them.

"Hua Hin’s beaches are now experiencing strong currents possibly from the impact of the impending storm," what a load of rubbish, my guess is, not enough passengers, so use the "storm" as an excuse, not to sail.

well that's a pity cause the soapy and quickies in Hua Hin are more expensive, less choice, and sorry but not all that attractive, as those bargain bar stool hotties on Pattaya !!  ????
