balo Posted December 28, 2016 Share Posted December 28, 2016 I find it strange that no pictures has been published of this amazing new ferry that will provide you with a safe journey in 1 hour and 40 minutes. Just one picture so we can get an idea would be nice. Or maybe they need to buy one first ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Open youtube.com and enter "WU YI HU" in the search field. Among some other stuff you will find a couple of videos about this catamaran in action. Who will be the "ship spotter" who publishes the first picture of it around Pattaya?

Just watching some of the videos of it bobbing around like a cork made me feel seasick and it's not as if it was rough, just a mild chop. Pity the poor soul in the centre seat of seven (yes 7) abreast when the well trained staff haven't replaced the barf-bag from the previous trip. Actually pity the three he has to climb across.

digbeth Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Just saw on Thai news website, it couldn't cross the bay due to rough seas and only circled Koh Larn and came back to dock in Pattaya Some people that booked hotels on the other side was furious Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

digbeth Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 Also read that yesterday (31st December) when they took some VIPs and press out they managed to make it all the way to Huahin, but couldn't dock due to rough sea too, they were going to go to another port nearby but the engine developed some trouble so they repaired it while it sat in the water and hightail back to Pattaya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

siam2007 Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 it would be interesting to learn where this 25 year old vessel was deployed during its lifetime. Maybe built for river cruises and not traveling the sea. Not many such places in mainland China where they need a ferry that cruises the open seas, the only idea I have would be from Dalian to the East coast. Or it was being used on the Macau / Shenzhen to Hong Kong route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
