pegman Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 I have not traveled to the south end of the island. Can anyone give a rough idea how long time wise from the pier to White Sands Beach? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did think about that, but as all the other places mentioned - Sattahip, Koh Chang, Pranburi - are precise locations it seemed inconsistent to throw a province into the mix.

Tarteso Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 I have not traveled to the south end of the island. Can anyone give a rough idea how long time wise from the pier to White Sands Beach?Riding motorbike, about 50 min. Very good views. Drive calm and beware with the curves. Regards.

The current ferries take cars they dock in the north of the island, this new ferry to my understanding will be a passenger only ferry with no cars as Bang Bao pier would in it's current form not be able to take cars.

gk10002000 Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 interesting. I would think there would be some conflict with the current land and smaller ferry infrastructure. Is this a sign of the times, bigger business putting the smaller shops out of business? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overherebc Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 I think you are all missing the fun part. Let's say a few bus loads of zero dollar tourists and a sprinkling of Europeans getting off in K.C and some taxis waiting. With certain groups noted for their patience and orderly queuing manners just imagine the enchanting scenes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They won't reach that level of thinking for another 100 years. They're smarter than you think. How many of those tourists who took the ferry actually have cars or bikes? Obviously they've determined the cost of ferrying motor vehicles is not cost effective because there are not enough to make a profit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder who owns Royal Passenger Lines, but for me they can go to hell! Every time some actual person is quoted in any of the news reports regarding this service, it seems to be someone from the Thai government like the Marine Department folks.... Perhaps that's a clue... That also could well explain why they seem to operate the way they do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tprender Posted May 3, 2017 Share Posted May 3, 2017 But how long is the ferry? Sent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk About 200 feet or thereabouts. Sent from my Lenovo K52e78 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICECOOL Posted May 10, 2017 Share Posted May 10, 2017 7000 passengers in March ! 225 average! A little exaggeration perhaps. I can't justify the 5k fares for 2 plus taxi's when I have to be there 1hr before. For me thats a 4hr total trip. I can easily drive to Pattaya myself in a little over that for a lot less.Sent from my SM-G900F using Thailand Forum - Thaivisa mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
