What route from the west side Bangkok to the east side on a motor bike?
As I don't have a GPS

I know I could go around the north side of Bangkok but one of you's bikers may know a easy way through the middle.

Tell me from exactly where to where mate - I'll tell you

Photharam Ratchaburi to Bang Pakong near to Chon Buri

This route avoids downtown. if you don't want to go on the ferry you can take the industrial ring which drops you down on Rama III then you have to work your way through town etc.. but the ferry route is more scenic etc. for the most part you will be following everyone else. If you want to avoid major highways you can modify your route to and from ferry. If you want Bang Pakong power station that is a different end point. __________________

Good luck link here

Thank you David I will open it tomorrow on my PC

Is there a car ferry at Phra Samut Chedi to Pak Nam

I would say no.

There is a picture of the ferry on Flickr but I cannot post it.

I should add that I don't think there are any more car ferries across the Chao Praya. All replaced by bridges. Just the motorbike one I mentioned.
