Chonburi lies just a short car drive from Bangkok, making it an ideal destination for city folk and tourists alike looking to escape from the hustle and bustle of the capital city.

The region is linked via a modern expressway network that runs from Bangkok to Chonburi's unofficial capital city of Pattaya. 

Such is the low volume of traffic utilizing the six-lane expressway, the journey can be made in no more than two hours.

Taxis, trains and buses journey the route but, for added flexibility that it offers, many visitors choose to hire a car. 

A self drive holiday offers the opportunity to experience wonderful Thai culture and the opportunity for travelers to stop as long as they like at the many points of interest in the Kingdom.

Thailand's road system is modern, safe and - once outside the Bangkok city limits - for the most part traffic free. Road signage follows international convention and is in both Thai and English. 

Driving on the more major routes outside Bangkok and around resort areas is both a safe and an enjoyable experience.
