Used the Ferry from HH in March. My impression was close to 75% full. Lovely trip.

A ferry from Pattaya too Samui may work as return airfares are from Baht 8,000 plus you have to get to an airport this end.

Either you maths suck  or your pissed or I'm pissed . LOL

 

Your logic dissecting your information and taking max income.

*two round trips Cost what you want per round trip 1,600 B

80 passengers and they all have return trips. Questionable on that alone?

 

Ok  Here we go: 2(trips of boat ) *80 (passenmgers) *1600 B (return trip per passenger) EQUALS = 256,000 Bah.

 

So where do you calculate 800,000 Bah or 500 round trips. You the guy that ordered the other two ferries? LOL I won't invest in your ferries if you did.LMAO

Not necessarily supporting the business plan, but maybe you missed that he appears to be basing his calculation on three ferries, not one.............

Well then if he bases it on three and all have return tickets  his maths still suck. With the one and only ferry at this stage not fully booked.Must be an employee to the boss LOL

Did anyone know when there will be a car ferry to transfer to Hua Hin?

 

On the face of it, this project just doesn't  seem  to add up.

Is this a matter of "face" over finance  or profit?

Even the most basic business plan would include sales of snacks and refreshments on the trip....This for many business is the difference between loss and profit.

I would still question both the need and support for this service...how on earth can it survive without commercial traffic....bikes motor vehicles and local people?

Billions of Chinese hi so tourists ?

 

I too think a "proper" roll on roll off ferry would be a better business model as it could sail in all weather and take freight (Chonburi, Rayong produces a lot of stuff )

on a good shortcut

to the other side of the gulf along with the hi-so Chinese tourists

Maybe the problem is there is no suitable ports at either end. ?

 

Best not to serve food onboard the current boat the water can get a bit choppy

and there is no access to the outside once underway so even those not sea sick will be heaving at the smell of those who are
