How to get there
Soi Dao is easy accessable by car or bus from Bangkok. The distance from Bangkok to Soi Dao is approx 300 km.
There are comfortable and low priced long distance buses between Bangkok (Ekamai Bus Station) to Chanthaburi, where you change bus to Soi Dao (Direction: Sa Kaeo). (5-6 hours/ 50-60:- THB/pax)
Minibuses (Coach) leaves daily from Bangkok (Liberty Monument) to Soi Dao (4 hours/300:-THB/pax)
We can also arrange a comfortable taxi (recommended) that takes you direct from downtown Bangkok or Suvarnabhumi Airport straight to Soi Dao. (3 hours/3000:-THB)
Our designated driver that we frequently hire, Khun Yodsawat, use to take the "elephant road" which goes through a nature reserve with wild elephants, we have seen the elephants many times when they cross the road. Biggest chance to see the elephants at dusk.
You can also rent a car and drive yourself from Bangkok, just follow Sukhomvit Road (Road nr 3) from central Bangkok all the way to Chanthaburi town. In Chanthaburi, turn left on road 317 North, (direction Sae Kaeo).
It is quite easy to drive outside Bangkok city, considering that you are comfortable driving left-hand side traffic.
