Basil B Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 Any up date on service, as I recall they had bought more ferries for this service but still doing one service a day. Was looking at using the ferry for trip down to Koh Tao next March (Ferry to Hua Hin, then train to Chumphon and the Ferry to Koh Tao) but need to be in Hua Hin well before the 12 noon schedule of the ferry.

mwbrown Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 There's still only one boat in active service. I suggest staying one night in Hua Hin and then jump on the train. You don't have to worry about the schedule and you can explore the town. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cracker1 Posted December 5, 2017 Share Posted December 5, 2017 Basil. Don't know about the ferry service from Pattaya but you are not restricted to the train from Hua Hin to Chumpon. Lomprayer who run the ferry's to Koh Tao also run a bus from Bangkok to Chumpon, stopping at Hua Hin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During high season the road to HH is packed and a nightmare. First one has to get through BB which can take 2 hours some days, and then to HH which is 4 hours most days. The ferry is quick and mostly hassle free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be travelling heavy with my dive gear. If only there was a earlier sailing then could hook up with the 11:30 express train going south. Thanks for all replies.
