GN, do you mean the road from Amphawa, just after Samut Songkhram down to Cha-Am? I use it all the time. Very relaxing compared to Phetkhasem. Fortunately it's too slow for the "in a hurry" crowd. I can't see on Google maps how you would get on it at Samut Sakhon, but it would be great if it's possible.

Absolutely Steve - these are "must haves" to assist in the fatal injuries of your passengers. IF that vehicle has a passenger airbag, it would surely not work.

GN - I've not tried that road as yet, tho' I'm assured that it is well liked by the bikers. :D

hhinner,
try this link from Google Maps:
https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?saddr=35 ... 1,2,3&z=10
I'm pretty sure this is the route I took today more or less.

Perhaps worth giving it ago one of these days Terry. Bit slow to start with as no overtaking and some tight bends but from around Petchaburi to Chaam the road is pretty good.
No stopping the Ninja of course.... 8)
:cheers:
GN.

Edit: hhinner, yeah you are correct; not Samut Songkhram but Ampawa. Thanks for the correction.

It was Samut Sakhon I was questioning. Samut Songkhram is good enough. I was imagining people wandering around Samut Sakhon trying to find a non-existant road. :D
