Am I reading this right paul... 1000 baht from pattaya beach for speed boat??
I have never taken the speed boat over before, always the slow coach ferry and your ass is feckin numb for your trouble too.. lol.
I have already told my mucker about crazy John and we'll be shoo-ar to pop in for a few.
I like the idea of getting the speed boat to island hop.. nice.
Sent off the booking request and waiting for a reply.. Let you know how it went.
Yes Jacko, when you go its still low season, and there are many boat moored up at the beach doing nothing, just do like I did, start at one end and haggle, if he doesn't agree, just go on to the next one, and so on. You can be sure they will all watch you haggling at each one, and buy the time you get to about the third one he's ready to make a bargain. I get it for 800 baht, But you should easly get it for 1000 baht...... take no prisoners Jacko, you can leave them there with nothing to do all day, just the same as every other day.
After the bargain has been struck, then he is yours for the rest of the day, till around 6pm. Best to set off early in the morning though, island hopping takes time. He will drop you off at a beach and anchor there, and sit in the background until you call him to make a move somewhere else. I suggest though, that wile he's waiting for you to send him over a meal, as he will always anchor some place near a restaurant of some description own by people he knows, so he can have a chat, wile you are busy enjoying yourselves.
Speaking of speedboats, have any of you guy's took one out in the evening, to the floating seafood restaurants moored out in the bay?
