Trip To Pak Chong

[patsfangr]

I am planning a trip to Pak Chong to buy a stone elephant. Can someone please provide specific directions from Pattaya to Pak Chong, and an approximate time for that trip? Thanks!

enter Pak Chong into the search ... looks like about 3-4 hours from BKK

I only KNOW the road there from Nakhon Nayok through Saraburi and on towards Korat

Pak Chong is an amphur(district) of Nakorn Ratchasima province. Pak Chong is on the Mittrapab Highway. So from Pattaya, take the Motorway towards Bangkok, exit the Motorway at the Ring Road exit south of bangkok. This is well marked as the exit to Bang Na and Bang Pa In. You take the Bang Pa In directions, follow the ringroad until the exit for Nakorn Ratchasima which will take you to the Mittrapabb Highway (N02). This passes though Pak Chong which is 2/30 kms before NK city.

Invest in a map which will make all this easier. All the above roads are 4 lanes or more and outside peak hours very fast. Journey thime 3-3 1/2 hours.

Pak Chong is about 80/90 km south of NK ( and not 2/30 km !)

Thanks much for the help, guys! This information will certainly help me get there, and gives me a good idea of how to plan my time. Hopefully, this will be a successful "elephant hunt"!
