Cruising down to Bang Saen
- Thread starter NorThai
- Start date
Hi Northai,
I've done Udon Thani to Pattaya a few times. 8 hours at reasonable speeds and plenty of rest stops.
I would do a fast run to Korat and turn left on the 304 to Kabin Buri. Nice road. Then carry straight on on the 331 and look for the signs for Chonburi (right turn). You will get on Sukhumvit Road (turn left) for Bang Saen.
Alternatively drive on to Pattaya for the night and maybe ride up with a few guys to the Bike Week.

I used to live in Bang Saen before I became a "Falang-Lao" :wink:
I might try out your route, I alredy booked a hotel in Bang Saen for the Bike Week, but not for sure about if I take my bike or my Vigo.
My lady want to come along to, but she is not so keen on riding the bike to Bang Saen :?
I have to see what we do...
Well, anyway I hope to meet some of you down there. I now I will meet Bard if he show up. I`m pretty sure he will do :wink:

Good one NorThai.
Well you will obviously know where you are when you get close to Chonburi.
Bard said he was going so maybe a few of us will meet up there.
One thing, the Bang Saen Bike Week is big and the past 2 years over 4,000 people going. I remember 2 years ago my bike number was 3,470 and there were bikes arriving up to 2 hours later.
What I'm saying is we better have a good place to meet that is easy to find.

HI Peter and NorThai,
I will be there, like Peter said the 304 is a very nice scenic road to do, I will go for the route he suggested.
Your missus, I tell mine you have 2 choices, ride with me or take the bus, up 2 u. Can't go to bike week with a car... Last time we went to Khon Kaen I did a lot of experimental roads with her on the back and I burnt 800 km with her on the bike, she was tired blabla, good I said now you know what we guys do on tour, ride, stop get some food and sleep
because we're so tired just like you.
Peter why don't we all meet up outside Pattaya and ride up to the bike week together? Last time we went early got plenty of seats and it was easy for others to find us when we were there.
Cheers Bard

Bard, I just book in at my hotel when I arrive Bang Saen. My hotel is very near the bike stand (200m). You alredy have my phone number, so no problem to meet up. Nice to have an our sleep after driving for many ours.
And it do make sense Bard, nobody goes to a Bike Week in a Vigo :lol:
For others who will need a hotel, you can try to book whre I`m staying:

Bard,
Sounds good to me. I may have a couple more coming, need to check.
How about the Petronas station just before the turn off from the 36 to Chonburi/Bangkok Route 7? There is a PTT station opposite and a flyover crossing the 36.
One thing, I've seen different dates for this; can we confirm it is 6th. Nov?
