Ferry service linking Pattaya and Hua Hin, two of the nation’s hottest holiday spots, will begin in January.
The ferry will depart from Pattaya's Bali Hai Pier and arrive at Hua Hin's Saphan Pla Pier. The journey will take about 90 minutes, as opposed to the current five hour drive.
A free trial is scheduled for late December, and the fare has yet to be determined. Operated by Royal Passenger Liner, the service will start with one ferry accommodating up to 150 passengers. Based on demand, one more vessel may be added.
