June 3, 201213 yr That's really interesting! I've been having about the same idea of tunnels exactly the same route. The water is shallow enough for bridges and I guess it'd be cheaper than tunnelling all the way. But IMO a tunnel would be more longer lasting and less maintenance in the long run. Really hope this project will be reality within my lifetime. That'd be really nice to experience!

As for the boar, I was informed by a reasonably good source that this is true, still alive and running around the island.... I won't bore you with anymore details!

June 4, 201213 yr Popular Post Where's this from?! Bangkok Air offices. Wait till you see the toll charges.
June 4, 201213 yr 7.5 billion Baht? Nah. 7,500 millions baht............ did you not read the thread title ?
June 4, 201213 yr Well, I guess a bridge isn't too bad of an idea since Koh Samui doesn't get hit with typhoons too regularly......
June 4, 201213 yr 7.5 billion Baht? Nah. 7,500 millions baht............ did you not read the thread title ? Thanks for clearing that up
June 4, 201213 yr 7.5 billion baht is something that our favorite fugitive from the law could finance right out of his pocket....So the money is around if someone wanted to get it done. Realistically, the toll price would be interesting. The Chunnel toll is about 2,500 baht equivalent for a car one way, I think. Someone can correct me on that.
June 4, 201213 yr Doing a quick add up of length assuming figures are correct in the picture from OP, this would be about the same length as the Penang bridge in Malaysia. Which is the 4th longest bridge in Asia @13.5 Kms.... You pay a one way toll.... 14 MR or about 140 baht for motorbike, and starts at approx 70 baht for vehicle (based on 10 baht to MR, I think slightly less now. ) http://www.penangbri...loperation.html I guess this would mean a big "fire sale"of all the ferries! .... if it ever happens of course!
June 5, 201213 yr What a nonsense! The bridge will connect Don Sak with Nathon and not with Tong Krut. There will be an intersection with red lights close to Koh Tan, including U-Turn and noodle soup supply
June 5, 201213 yr I see the Penang bridge took 4 years from announcement to completion, 3 of those in construction. How long the Thai version?!
June 5, 201213 yr I see the Penang bridge took 4 years from announcement to completion, 3 of those in construction. How long the Thai version?! Depends if paid in cash or cheque ...
June 27, 201213 yr After crossing the Penang bridge this morning, jammed packed in three lanes both ways, (but traffic moving)..... I thought to my self, a bridge to Samui is long in the distance future..... if ever .... there is not the infrastructure here to support the volume of traffic needed to even begin to justify the cost of building a bridge of that kind of magnitude. Or toll rates so high no one would use it! Another skeleton!!!! Just bye the bye, on a bike at least.... it's 2 MR to take ferry to Penang (20 baht approx) and free to drive over bridge back to Butterworth and the freeway north or south.
June 28, 201213 yr Where's this from?! Bangkok Air offices. Wait till you see the toll charges. get a tunneldugon the cheap. lock the best escape criminals in a" prison"on thecost of samui where the only way is down and out.. get crinimals that are famous for digging tunnels. once then have comlelted the tunnel. arrest them on the other side. give them a thank you anda biscuit and a kick in then send them back to where ever they came from let the construction people do the rest. or we could sendmole in there under cover to help them
