Pattaya to Hua-Hin by Catamaran


Recommended Posts

Do you have a link to the reviews? That shows the home page, and I didn't see anything about a boat or catamaran. I'm seriously thinking of Hua Hin for Songkran. A bus or van would be a lot cheaper, but I like being on the water. A boat cruse would be nice. At least one way.

 

I would really like am enterprising farang start a sea plane route from Pattaya to Hua Hin. I'd do it myself if I had the money.

 

I think this is what was needed;

Thailiving Ferry is excited to announce the launch of its new high speed Catamaran that will provide water transportation between two of Thailand ’s most popular tourist cities, Pattaya and Hua-Hin. The company hosted a grand opening party Friday night to introduce its sleek new transport, with luxurious seating, and state-of-the-art technology. Ferry service will begin on the 19th of November 2010 and they expect to operate a regular schedule of three crossings per week. With the new catamaran service it will be so much easier to travel across the gulf from Pattaya to Hua-Hin, and then on to Ko Samui and Phuket if desired.

 

The trip takes 3 hours and 15 minutes and will be made by a high speed catamaran, 18m long, cruising at 20knots. The Catamaran is built to international standards and makes use of the latest in navigation and safety equipment. The transport service will operate between Pattaya at Ocean Marina and Hua Hin at Pak Nam Pran. Customers will get transportation to and from the piers with minibuses making stops at central locations in each city. One-way trip fare will be 1600 baht and for return 3000 baht. In November and December, Thailiving will offer promotions from 1200 baht.

Two weeks ago, I went to Ocean Marina to buy a ticket for the trip as advertised above. But the operation has been stopped. I also asked the ticket officer for the next operation. But she gave me no answer.

Ah ha, so that's the one that's been hanging around the islands lately that none of the Thai guys know.

 

It's a bloody hard slog for a new business in low season (especially out of Ocean Marina).

 

I wish them the best and hopefully ALL of us will have a good season.

Guys,

 

I have read as much as I can find online ref this ferry boat service, wether it be boat, catamaran or whatever and I am stil unclear. I have read that due to the low season the service does not resume until Oct. Is this true? Is their any ferry or boat service at present? Is there more than one company operating this service after Oct?

 

I would be coming from HH to Pats for a few days in Oct and have been advised that the direct minibus service from HH to Pats is my best option. How long would it take by road and how much does it cost?

 

Any advice is appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.

After "the cheque is in the post" the second and third biggest lies in Thailand are "closed for renovations" and "closed for low season".

 

Don't expect to go to Hua Hin by water except you hire a boat yourself. Don't give anyone your credit card details to book a trip in October.

I thought number 2 was 'No, I won't cum in your mouth.' and number 3 'Black is beautiful.'

I thought the biggest lie in Thailand was, "OH! You hab big dick!"

Back to topic:

The boat is a cat but not nearly the size of the Lomprayah cats that go from Chumpon to Samui.
