The ferry service between Pattaya and Hua Hin has been discontinued and is no longer operational. It shut down during the COVID-19 pandemic and was officially closed afterward. There are mentions of other ferry services operating in the region, but the specific route from Pattaya to Hua Hin is not available.
Sadly the Ferry is out, and the departure area dismantled, you can understand the reasoning . But, it was very popular and as things change over the long term, eventually , I see it returning in some form.
it was always full in normal high season Dave , have taken the trip MANY times , it will happen again , it's was never aimed at the bottom of the pack , it's an excellent commute .
The one in Pattaya shut down quite a long time ago but they opened one that I believe runs from Si Racha (just south of Pattaya) to Yala in South Thailand. I may be mistaken on the exact arrival location in South Thailand but it will definitely get you across the Gulf of Thailand.
my mistake. There's a YouTube vlogger in Pattaya, I believe his channel is called "Rides 4 Kicks." He did a video a couple of months back on the new ferry route. Recommend you check out the details for of location, time and costs of the ferry. Sorry for the bad info.
