Hares: The Tickler
HARE'S Misdirection's:
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 086-022-5147 (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 for 30km before turning left at the sign sign for Bang Pra Golf course and Chonburi Flying Club (ultra-light airstrip). Then, make a U-turn back across HWY 7 heading east (zero your odometer at the top of the bridge). After 600 meter bear to the right at the fork in the road. At 2.1km turn left (following the sign to Chan Ta Then falls). 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. Continue straight on this road to a Y- junction @ 4.70km (HHH) and bear to the right. 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.
