Ban Phe to Pattaya Distance and Travel Time
The road from Ban Phe to Pattaya is 83 km, about 1 h 15 min. It runs west along the coast to Rayong, through the industrial area of Map Ta Phut and on to the resort city. It is the shortest of the long trips from the piers.
West along the coast
From the piers the car takes the coast road to Rayong, which has lights and market traffic in the town. The road is two lanes with passing places and is quiet outside the town.
After Rayong the highway widens to several lanes.
Map Ta Phut
Between Rayong and Pattaya the road passes the port and chemical estates of Map Ta Phut, one of the biggest industrial areas in the country. Trucks fill the left lane, and on weekdays the traffic is steady. Plants and tanks line the road, not what visitors expect on a beach holiday, but the stretch is quick.
Past it the countryside opens up for the last 30 km.
Into Pattaya
Pattaya begins with traffic lights and motorbike taxis. A hotel in Jomtien is reached first, Naklua last. On a Sunday afternoon the road into the city fills with returning weekend visitors, and a morning departure avoids it.
