Public transport to Dolphin Bay

Post by **lomuamart** » Mon Aug 31, 2009 1:13 pm

I'd like to be able to play the municipal course at Dolphin Bay a bit more regularly. However, I don't have my own transport.
A public bus to Pranburi won't be a problem, but it's from there to the vicinity of the golf course that I know nothing about.
Does anyone know if there is public transport from Pranburi and how regularly it runs?
Any information would be greatly appreciated.

There is no public transport to Dolphin Bay. But several hotels (I think Leelawadee is one of them) have a regular Bus service to Hua Hin, which can also be used by non-guests. But I have no details. You could try to phone some hotels in Dolphin Bay.

Thanks for the reply and it's just as I expected.
My wife has called all of her sisters, one of whom runs public buses to Petchaburi. All three thought I was mad to try and get from Pranburi to Dolphin Bay by public transport.
"Why does he want to go there?"
"Because I want to play inexpensive golf and I don't care if it takes me 2 hours to get there".
The best reply from the family was to take the public bus to Pranburi market and negotiate a private taxi from there.
Oh well, at least I've asked.

lomuamart,

Sorry I can not help, but it may be worth asking the question in another area.

"South of Hua Hin" does not feature in the "latest topics" list, so most people don't read it.

Not sure where you're looking as it does on my screen:

Granted it may not be on external websites as the section is relatively new.

Yes I see it now but I'm almost sure it was not there when I posted.

OK,

Same problem as before.

I access through "observergroup" site.

Am I the only One?

It may not have been there originally as it was no longer a 'latest topic' as others had been replied to more recently - that's how it works, last week's topics won't be there either unless they've been replied to recently.

Anyway, on the subject, I don't know of any public transport that goes direct, you can get local buses to Paknam, Pranburi and SRY but nothing to DB as far as I'm aware. Taxis from Hua Hin go by the name 'Dick Turpin'.

Sorry,
Just the way I got to start using the forum.
No drama.
I will try to not criticise or find fault in future.
