tommyt Posted October 22, 2003 Share Posted October 22, 2003 Any advice on travelling Pattaya to Cha Am? There may be 2 or 3 of us going. Reckon we could negotiate a "taxi" for baht1500? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnieB Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 it's a 4-5 hour trip...i would say maybe double the amount and at least you're at a starting point for negotiations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopburi3 Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 Why not offer 1,500 plus gas money? Or 2,000 with? Although you may get for 1,500 the driver is not going to make much as he will have to return to Bangkok empty. Find a happy driver is always a big plus.

chonabot Posted October 23, 2003 Share Posted October 23, 2003 Or get a bus to Ekamai for 60 baht each , and a taxi from there , maybe 1000? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tommyt Posted October 23, 2003 Author Share Posted October 23, 2003 Cheers, I'll try that. We'll be in Pattaya for a week or two before going. Time to find a happy hungry driver :-) Or maybe some of the tour firms do transfers and we can latch on to one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markt Posted October 24, 2003 Share Posted October 24, 2003 Went to Hua Hin last year. What a crappy beach. Nice town though. Apparantly Cha Am has a much better beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sinbadsailor Posted October 25, 2003 Share Posted October 25, 2003 That's in Hua Hin down the road. I think HM lives there full time these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erco Posted October 26, 2003 Share Posted October 26, 2003 If you have a budget of 1500 baht, forget it and stick ti Backpacking. Pattaya is where all the prostitites are and they will cost you money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erco Posted October 26, 2003 Share Posted October 26, 2003 The King does live in Hua Hin. The beach in Hua Hin is lovely as is Cha Am's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
