No, a train isn't going to work. There's only one slow one per day Pattaya to Bangkok, then a change of trains for the south and I don't think they allow cargo transported like that on the passenger trains.

The best is for your Dad to hire a baht bus driver and give him 3,000 Baht, about 1,500 he'll spend on fuel. Wise if your Dad or you accompany it as well to assure it gets there. Pete :cheers:

EDIT: Wouldn't hurt to contact Barry at Mermaid Cruises, as he's the agent for the Pattaya <>Hua Hin ferry. Don't know if they would be willing to transport a small motorbike. http://www.huahinafterdark.com/hua-hin- ... -trips.htm

We accept mopeds on the ferry service between Pattaya and Hua Hin.
The cost for the moped is 750 baht one way.
If you need any more info, please let me know.

Alternatively, go pick it up and drive it back. It's great fun, but expect a sore backside by the time you get back. I've been down to Ranong and back several times on my Honda Wave, also many times to Bangkok and back, and wait for it.....................to Ubon and back. I know, it's crazy, but that's what makes life a laugh....lol.

I am sure that this question has come up previously. Silly as it may seem, I think it is possible to "post" it via the mail system.

But, if you pass up Barrys offer, then you must be hard to please!

Best way, of course, is with Barry. Second best way is with Thai Post. Takes less than a week and cost about 2 000 THB.

Ask the post office in Samui. Thailand Post does transport mopeds. Empty the tank before you send the moped or they will do it for you and you'll lose the gasoline.
