wineman Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 Hi, I have to drive by car to Nakhon Pathom from Pattaya. Can anyone give me a route that doesn't take me through Bangkok please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmcsusnret Posted October 7, 2009 Share Posted October 7, 2009 (edited) Well, it really depends on what you consider to be Bangkok. Go past BKK airport until you get to the outer ring road (9) and take it south (left), loop around Bangkok to the south and take highway 35 west through Samut Sakhon until you get to highway 4. Head north through Ratchaburi and then into Nakhom Pathom from the west. The shorter route (distance wise) would be to follow the outer ring road north to highway 4 and go west (left) on 4 into Nakhom Pathom. The shorter distance is on suface street (traffic, lights, slow) while the longer is all major highways. You may be able to turn north off of 35 onto highway 3097 a little past Samut Sakhon and shorten the distance, but I have never driven that route or the road conditions. Up to you. Have a safe drive. Edit: there may be other ways but I haven't driven them and I like major roads. Maybe there are other routes.
