The operator of the Pattaya to Hua Hin ferry service has postponed the official start of the operation until February due to adverse weather conditions.
A free trial service of the route has been in operation since the beginning of January but bad weather has forced the cancellation of a number of scheduled trips.
The official launch date had been scheduled for January 15 but that has now been postponed until next month, although no actual date has yet been confirmed.
Meanwhile, officials have announced that the free trial service, which was due to end on January 15 has now been extended to January 31.
Officials also announced a change to departure times between Jan 13-18 and Jan 20-31, where the Royal 1 Ferry will leave the Bali Hai pier in Pattaya at 10:30am instead of 8:30am. In Hua Hin, the service will depart at 1:30pm instead of 3pm due to changing tides, operators said.
The company made the announcement via its Facebook page , where customers are urged to check for the most up to date information.
Alternatively, customers can call 0384 88999, available in both English and Thai, for the latest booking and schedule information.
