funlovinkid Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 I just moved here from Chiang Mai, which is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and is a great place for exploring peaceful, curvy roads on a big bike. I'm wondering if there is anything similarly appealing around here. I've looked at the map, and it looks like there are several lakes and some mountainous areas east of Pattaya, but haven't made an effort yet to explore. Anybody know of any good places for this for a casual day trip? I've been to Koh Chang, and it looks great for a motorcycle, but way too far for a day trip. Thanks in advance for any feedback.

NightRider70 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Pattaya sucks when it comes to those kind of roads in general. Some exceptions: 3240 The part between 36 and 331, short but sweet. 1015 Smaller road. 5054 Smaller road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ezzra Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) Yep.. the one that meanders thru girly/gay bars, massage parlours and mafia concessions stands practically every where in Pattaya, oh yeah, and if you take a moment to gaze upon Pattaya's finest at work, your trip was a worthwhile one....

crazygreg44 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 (edited) Maybee the tour to Buddha Khao Chee Chan, via the Phra Racha Anusaowari Park , will compensate. After the nice golden Buddha imprint in the mountain ( which material was used, bring good binoculars and tell me your find by PM me !!) keep going on towards Rayong using the mountainside roads. I just googled it to make sure I give you the correctly spelled names. It's however just hilly terrain compared to the Chiang Mai area. Real mountains are up north in the Khao Yai National Park, way north of Kabin Buri. Maybe a visit to the beautiful beach near Sattahip, Had Nang Ram, will result in you making peace with the fact that you have landed in a seaside resort, and not in Aspen, Colorado Edited July 21, 2015 by crazygreg44 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JESSVANPELT Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Contct some one at the Jesters Biker club or one of the other local clubs, seems kinda simple to figure out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
digbeth Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 The road around Bang Phra reservoir in SriRacha isn't too far for a day trip from Pattaya A bit further out in Chantaburi there's this scenic road that's quite an attraction Depends on what you enjoy more the scene or the curves in the road to play on your bike? There are plenty of roads around 331 highway that cross back and forth with Sukhumvit around Pattaya that's quite curvy and moderately enjoyable on a bike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emilymat Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 You'll soon be able to drive your motorbike across Lake Mab, if the drought continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really give a great sense of what can be expected on these rides! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
