It's about 300km if you use Route 4, how fast can you average on the scooter?

I'd guess 6-8 hours.

It's about 300 KM. It's about 5 hours by car, each way! I think going on a scooter would be a pain in the ass! Literally!

I've done Surat to Phuket a couple of times (Honda Wave) about the same distance... It really is a pain in the arse 6hrs including lunch break and 2 stretch breaks...

A 600 Km round trip on a scooter ?

Thanks but I will give that a miss

Ive done it a few times when i have been broke. Did it once with a bar girl on the back in the rain. It takes at least 6 hours. Kao Lak is ok to stop at. The rest of the towns are very quiet

It would be best to plan for an overnight trip. Don't forget you need to take some sort of boat over to Myanmar. The Andaman Club ferry is most comfortable. If you want to go down to the port and find your own longtail then you need to stamp out of Thailand at Immigration office near the docks, then when get back to Thailand (some 2 hours later) stamp back in (and before the office closes) - a real pain in the derrier. Did it just the once in my first year here, never again. Thereafter the Andaman Club ferry.

4 h 54 min (296.6 km) via Route 4

It's a nice area, if I were you, I'd stop a few times to see the nice places. Let's say you're coming from Phuket, heading to Takua Pa.

Then you'll come to Kao Lak, short after Kao Lak on the left hand side is Bang Sak, a beautiful beach.

But you could also take a van and sit in an air conditioned vehicle.

Might be worth to add that the OP should never try to buy any sorts of drugs there.

I've seen when they arrested a foreign guy who wanted to buy something from a street vendor who's obviously part of the team.

But I wouldn't make the trip on a damn scooter, to be honest.

Up and back same day, includes Andaman Club ferry, in/out stamps and lunch. Really can't beat it, and maybe less dangerous than a bike.

Should be no problem. That route was a part of my 3-day-trip from Nong Khai to Phuket, on a PCX 150. The last part (day 3) was Prachuap Khiri Khan to Patong, and the way from Ranong to Phuket is quite enjoyable.

I have a pcx and loves to drives arrround to stop when I like to stop.

With the car i'am just only focus on fast go and return. minivan is nothing for me same as lowe budget airlines stick with people left and right not my thing but the pain in the .... thats can be true.

I know now sure it will be one time and never annymore will share my small adventure and experience here when I am back
