The Thai government may establish East-West ferry service linking Pattaya and Hua Hin, two of the nation’s hottest holiday spots.
Hua Hin is situated across the Gulf of Siam from Pattaya. Presently, travel between the two locales takes more than four hours. The ferry service would shorten to the trip to 90 minutes. One ferry is expected to accommodate up to 500 passengers and 60 vehicles. The project will involve construction of port facilities as well. The ferry may begin operation by 2020.
