UNLIKE SUKHUMVIT !!! If you are going from Pattaya to Sattahip there is no way you wouldn't use Sukumvit the new road goes no where near it, however for U-Tapao, Ban Chang or Rayong the new road will be a great advantage in time savings.

UNLIKE SUKHUMVIT !!! 17km tesco sattahip to the end of the new 7 road at ban chang with lots of traffic and traffic lights 18 minutes i would guess 40+ km on the new 7 road 25 minutes @100kmh so a total of approx 43 minutes 28km from tesco sattahip to tesco pattaya with traffic and traffic lights but only as far as ambassador as it thins down there. 34 minutes so maybe 10 minutes and 30km longer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FWIW your the one who took my earlier post out of context...I made that post based on the fact I live in Pattaya and once this new road opens hopefully those travelling to Sattahip from BKK will use the new road and the congestion (for locals) on Suk road will reduce, especially on the weekends. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the road construction surrounding Ban Chang is tiresome. Having the 7 from Ban Chang to Pattaya will be nice when completed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( sarcasm ) By the way his savings are much higher, because 130 Baht is the price for the whole trajectory, and before the highway opens he has to pay from road #36 to Bangkok anyway. Not sure how much that is but I think easily half of that 130 Baht No. It's 100 Baht. So only an extra 30 Baht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
