daveb1 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Anyone got any good suggestions for nice spots to go for a drive to around pattaya say 30 - 90 minutes away. Any nice small fishing villages or nice countryside? Would like to explore a bit more Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PattayaParent Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 Bangsaray Sattahip Ban Chang But as with most of Thailand it's all asphalted road to these places these days. How about a ride out to Khao Kheow and a walk in the hills? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
longball53098 Posted March 10, 2009 Share Posted March 10, 2009 A little farther but the coastal area on the east side of Rayong from Ban Phe to Mae Phim is nice Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suiging Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 Agree with above. Tuther side of Rayong well worth a look, and a stop for a snack at the Rayong Resort well worth the effort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmyd Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 The hills east of Sukhumvit near Bang Saree have some very nice small roads with interesting sites--temples and such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrybike Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 out to the grape field place cant think of the name of the place...then near it too the buddah on the side of the mountain.nice area and not far .lovely beach out in sattahip owned by the army....while there you can check out the big fighter ships near there worth a look ,then on the way back check out under water world ,where you walk around and the fish are over and around you everywhere ....sattahip is good place for some seafishing too if you are into it ,some lovely temples out around that area where grape and buddah on mountain are......then the new floating market on the way to sattahip is well worth a visit......

Silverlake vineyard and Kow Chee Chan buddah image, both signposted from Sukhumvit just south of Ban Amphur. The temple near there is Wat Yansangwarasan or simply Wat Yan, and the Virayah Sien museum. If you drive south on Sukhumvit to AuTapao airport, take the airport road and follow the road towards the coast (turn off the 331 to your left not far after the airport turn), a lot of little roadside resturants on the way, you will come to a small fishing village - the name of which completely escapes me - Ban Samae San or something like that?? there is a marine museum on your right of the village, carry on straight into the village and do a sharp u turn to your left up a hill to a temple on top of the hill - some spectacular views from there!!! All worth a look! Enjoy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spalpeen Posted March 11, 2009 Share Posted March 11, 2009 BangsaraySattahip Ban Chang But as with most of Thailand it's all asphalted road to these places these days. How about a ride out to Khao Kheow and a walk in the hills? Whereabouts is Khao Kheow and does anyone know any other hillwalking spots around here, apart from Pratumnak ?

Cuban Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 ....Rayong from Ban Phe to Mae Phim is nice I was going to mention this area as well, i've not been here for a while but it was quite out of season with enough locals to support places to eat/drink etc. If you stay on the main Hwy 3 out of Pattaya and take the bypass after Na-Jomtiem it's about a 30 minute drive or so. i recall there is a fresh fruit market next to the road just after Rayong, go in a few weeks for some durian when the price has dropped and the quaility improved.
