These are the boats that go between Hong Kong and Macau. Its about 70km and takes roughly an hour . It's not a bad journey as the seats are comfortable and they serve snacks and drinks . I couldn't tell you if the sea conditions on the South China Coast are similar to those of the Gulf of Thailand.

Here's a thought , If the junta allows casino operators to open in Pattaya they might throw a few of these in for free and cover the costs of the service .

how many cars do you get on those ? ...a couple of mini's ?

Trolley cases only, and lots of them.

Yah the only advantage over the chopper is the ability to take a case.

This is the boat they need..

Looks like its also good in ice conditions, may be handy in thouse freezing cold winter month, I mean you never know when the next iceberg is getting in there way.
