jingjoe Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 What's the driving time (on average) to get from Central Pattaya area to the car ferry (near Trat), to Koh Chang please? Are there any more frustrating road works? Advice appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simbo Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 3 hours is about right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuban Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 I agree, three hours has been a typical run for me. Not tanking it down there but a steady speed in my 4x4. There's a nice dried river bed at the end of the island if you fancy a bit of off roading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcr Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Usually takes me around 2hrs 30mins. My God, thats moving it! Allow 3 hours of normal driving. My friend when he does it takes him 4 hours, but he drives like an old woman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattyboy Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 Yeah, a few (3 or so) hours driving at a reasonable pace seems right. Also, make sure your car's registration stickers, insurance, etc. is up to date and you're not doing anything illegal in your car when you arrive at the Trat border. I believe there is always (almost always?) a check stop set up on the highway where they will pull you over and check all that stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuban Posted October 31, 2007 Share Posted October 31, 2007 I believe there is always (almost always?) a check stop set up on the highway where they will pull you over and check all that stuff. If you are talking about the big curved bridge over the river, it's so easy to keep you speed up as you crest the peak only to find the police check point a few hundred meters ahead of you. That was an interesting afternoon for me. Otherwise I've not encountered anything unsual about the police down that way, I did however get some very interesting looks from the Army checkpoints near the Cambodian border when I got lost on the Thai side near Pailin.

It all depends whether you're lucky with the traffic lights or not, I estimate about 25 of them cheers onzestan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
