HowardJohnson Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 We need a lowloader truck and driver to take a small vehicle from Pattaya to Phuket. (Its one of those little advertising trucks you see around town and it would take about 3 days to drive it there under its own power!) Any suggestions or contacts? Many thanks.

nonthaburial Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Would it not be a better option to put it on a barge and sail it across Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bino Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Would it not be a better option to put it on a barge and sail it across Probably not- to reach Phuket from Pattaya by sea would require sailing down the coast of Malaysia, past Singapore and up the Malacca strait.

raro Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 The barge would also need longer than driving the vehicle under is own power...and there are pirates out there...the Malakka Straight is not for the faint hearted! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nonthaburial Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Silly me. Honestly my Geography is usually good. i mean I do know that London is near Delhi and oh never mind I take the Barge bit back again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kan Win Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 (edited) We need a lowloader truck and driver to take a small vehicle from Pattaya to Phuket.(Its one of those little advertising trucks you see around town and it would take about 3 days to drive it there under its own power!) Any suggestions Many thanks. HoJo Sure drive it down there and stop over all the way down. Make it a 7 day trip, like a family holiday (Use your car/pick-up as a back up and carry a tow rope). Start from Pattaya 1st Stop Bangsaen Beach (no photo) 2nd The New Airport (Bangkok) and see planes taking off and landing. 3rd Cha-Am Beach, quite during the week-days. 4th Sam Roi Yod "Nantional Park" (Pure Magic that place) 5th Rajjaprabha Dam on the 401 road from Surat to Phuket. 6th Sarasin Bridge which takes you onto Phuket Island. The way back to Patters 7th stop is up to you. Hope this helps. Have a great trip Kan Win P.S. approx 999.99 kms one way to "Sarasin Bridge" with a few de-tours Edit// tow rope Edited May 21, 2008 by Kan Win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bino Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Kan Win has the right idea! However, if you don't have time to make the trip, why not hire a Thai driver to deliver it for you? Fuel for the little truck, a wage for the driver and a bus ticket to bring him home has gotta be cheaper than the fuel for a big truck to carry the little truck, a wage for the big truck driver, and a profit margin for the truck company....?
