Just trying to be funny sir my regrets. Trying to connect the ferry up with that mess with the buses bound for Bangkok that are being held by customs....

dksharron Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Ace of Pop Plus ++ parking at the marina, transport between the boat landing location and Hua Hin as well. As it is Chinese owned, I can see the plan is a way to get more and more Chinese looking at HH, and then the Chinese who are operating hotels and the like here, would then do the same in HH. A conduit for the colonization of HH, to go along with Pattaya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JHolmesJr Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 "Final checks are being made to the 300+ seater vessel from China at a dock in Samut Prakarn." So norway built it in china….or just sailed it there before delivery? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anotheruser Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 Think they have over priced it. 700 baht, would get people going for it. 1200 nah !!!!!!!! I just did Bali to Gili today. Pretty horrible boat, duration of the trip is a bit over two hours. Cost per person is 500,000 Rupiah one way. Boats are never the cheapest way to travel these days.The ferry doesn't compete with the mini vans because if it does based on price it is doomed.Fwiw the boat ride from the gili to Bali is spectacular. If the new ferry just stirs up poop on the way in murky water there might be an argument for why it won't work. A two hour trip over the strait of Bali in the pacific is well worth the money.

Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Don't see why making a references to other countries, has any real meaning here , in Thailand. But i feel its over priced. The only people that will use it at that price , will be Chinese tourists. Is it a smart move to transport the tourists out of Pattaya ? Time will tell on this enterprise , but i wish them luck.
