HARES: The Tickler and Tonto
Misdirection's: A-site = approximately 1.55km southeast of Wat Khao Mai Daeng. See attached maps. For those that cannot read a map (which I suspect includes a majority of the hash population as well as taxi drivers) follow these written instructions out of Bangkok:
From Bangkok:
1. Take the Bangkok/Chonburi motorway (HWY 7) heading south towards Chonburi.
2. Zero your tripometer at the Phan Thong toll plaza (this is about 85 km out of BKK).
3. Continue south on HWY 7 (which includes the RT 36 by-pass) for approximately 17.5km and exit east (to the left!) on Rt 3144. Signs for Bang Pra Golf course preceed this exit and the Chonburi Flying Club (ultra-light airstrip) is on the west side of the highway as another landmark. You will see a sign as soon as you exit directing you to Chan Ta Then falls 6km. Zero tripometer again, just to confuse yourself.
4. 600m (0.6km) after you exit bear to the right at the fork in the road.
5. At 2.1km turn left (following the sign to Chan Ta Then falls).
6. At 3.7 km you will pass the entrace to Wat Kao Mai Daeng on your left, continue another 200m (3.9km) where the road takes a sharp left turn towards Chan Ta Then Falls. DO NOT make this turn! Go straight at this intersection toward Khao Khaeo Open Zoo. There is a freaking big blue sign pointing you in this direction.
7. Continue straight on this road to a Y- junction @ 4.70km (HHH) and bear to the right.
8. 300m (5.00km) past the Y-junction make a right turn (HHH) onto a small dirt track and continue 250m (5.25km) uphill to the A-site.
Driving time is 1 hour 20 minutes if you are slow, 1 hour if you are really fast. The recent opening of all 8 lanes of the HWY 7 motorway has significantly improved the travel down to the A-site Lost?! Impossible with all of these maps and accurate written directions but if you need comfort and guidance call: 085-219-9519 (N. Amer. dialect) or 089-771-3320 (Thai)
From Pattaya:
From Pattaya Klang turn left on Sukhumvit heading north and get onto HWY 7 toward Bangkok. Keep traveling north on HWY 7 until you pass the ** ? km distance marker (marker numbers decrease in this direction) and exit left approximately ** ? m past the marker (you will also see signs for Bang Pra Golf course directing you to take this exit). Then, make a U-turn (Chonburi Flying Club (ultra-light airstrip) will be on the north side (to your left!) of highway 3144 just after the U-turn). Take the overpass bridge (flyover) back across HWY 7 heading east (zero your odometer at the top of the bridge) until you come to number 4 above and follow the the rest of the directions to the A-site.
Hares Telephone contacts:

** Note from webmaster: It may be helpful to know that from the Pattaya highway 36 and highway 7 junction, travel along highway 7 towards Bangkok for approximately 30km before looking out for the BLUE SIGN " Bang Pra Golf course" on the left. Along side this sign there will also be an HHH sign. I believe there will HHH signs to help with the U-turn back over the highway 7. Alternatively, if one is joining the highway 7 route from the Lam Chabang junction, then after turning onto the highway 7 towards Bangkok, travel along highway 7 for approx. 14km before looking out for the blue sign "Bang Pra Golf course". |
