Trip took 16 hours non stop. First 30 minutes were very enjoyable. Then we drove it back. 4wd. Scooters are fun for 30 mins only. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAFETY FIRST Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 Forget that other stuff, head straight for the Sukhumvit at Trat, once you get there follow it south, it narrows and follows the beach. Bloody beautiful views and beaches, continue driving to the border and cross onto Cambodia if you have time. I've done this trip a few times from Pattaya on my motorbikes, great adventure.

rwill Posted November 29, 2023 Share Posted November 29, 2023 If you want to detour a bit Sam Phan Bok (3,000 holes) is worth a visit (assuming they haven't finished the dam down river from there). Also best viewed out of the rainy season when water levels are lower. Definitely worth it to pay for a guide as they know where all the best formations are.

sandyf Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 13 hours ago, bignok said: Yeah its out of the way too. The views look nice but thats half a day. If drop Nan then adding a beach is more doable. The road between Pattaya and KC is pretty good. Ive done it before. There is no need to go near Pattaya or KC. From Kabinburi you can turn east on the 33 and the 317 down to Chantaburi. Not far from the junction with Suk there is a waterfall and nearby the turning to Laem Sing, nice beach there, or carry on to Chao Lao. From there you can head to U-Tapao and pick up the No 7 going north. Endless combinations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianthainess Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 If you want to avoid long ferry queues and surly staff, to KC, then the old Centre Point ferry is up and running again, albeit a limited service. And a return ticket is available at a reduced rate valid for one month. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kao Yai national park after you pass Korat Going to the US for Christmas , just as soon as I come back we plan to make the same trip. Have fun and post pictures.

Asian elephants peak musth period is in "winter". This is the reason they are more visible in those months...and also more aggressive. I'll be in Khao Yai in December to photograph birds and (hopefully) some pachyderms. Seeya there❗🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
