12DrinkMore Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 17 hours ago, Xircal said: Britanny Ferries has a regular catamaran ferry which can carry 835 passengers and 235 cars at speeds of up to 42 knots (77kph) which sounds realistic. But I can't imagine that there would be that many passengers with vehicles that would want to make the journey from Pattaya to Hua Hin on a regular basis which would make it a viable proposition. Most of the customers will be making a day trip from Hua Hin to Pattaya for a bit of recreation in Soi 6, back home late afternon before Mrs Monger realises they've gone.

NCC1701A Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 You should have seen the white caps on the Gulf of Thailand the last few days here in Hua Hin. From my sailing days I can tell you there will some sea sick passengers. But maybe better than dying in a mini van. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ratcatcher Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 10 hours ago, wpcoe said: This topic has come up so many times over the years and I can't find the discussion now, but one of the later proposals was to have multiple ferries daily between Hua Hin and Pattaya (10 or 12 each direction?) each carrying >100 passengers. Additionally there were multiple ferries between Hua Hin and Bangkok and between Pattaya and Bangkok. Where are all those passengers supposed to come from? Also, the ferry terminal had been moved from Pranburi to some undeveloped area 40 minutes north of Hua Hin. Can't wait to see how/if the service actually materializes. Might be a while...............

daveAustin Posted November 6, 2016 Share Posted November 6, 2016 Is this the real Pattaya?... everyone looks so high society. I reality, it'd be flp-flops, vests and pickup trucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
