Hi all i'm flying into Bangers next Month and going to check out Hua Hin for a few days. Can any members tell me the best way to get there either bus or Taxi and how much thanks.

Both bus and taxi are fine. Have VIP buses for a couple of hundreds. Taxi might set you back 2 500 - 3 000 baht

If I book the taxi in advance, it's 2,200 Baht each way from Bangkok airport to Hua Hin.
If I take a taxi directly at the airport without booking in advance, it varies between 1,800 and 2,500 Baht.

I can tell you more about it on Monday. I'm arriving in Bangkok on Monday morning and will then take a taxi to Hua Hin.

Take a taxi! In that way you can stop and eat or have a coffee when you want and have a relaxing tour! It is also faster even with a couple of Coffee brakes!

Exactly my thoughts. After I heard that it can be as low as 2k baht, so let´s say 2-3k baht for the freedom. That´s well spent.

Again thanks lads n lasses  lately busses have a reputation of bursting into flames. if I book a Taxi would the fare be the same as my good lady will be meeting me in Swampy. A few regulars like myself come to understand Bangers is BKK, Patters is Pattaya and Pookers is Phuket. Swampy is Suvarnabhumi,  A Tacka is a Taxi.

I'd have said train if you could book a 2nd class AC seat in advance, but the VIP bus from the airport is a good alternative. Don't understand why anyone would choose to spend 2000 baht on a taxi, but I guess if money is no concern then what the hell.

At BKK if you go to the ground floor at Gate 8 you can get the VIP Bus every hour or so. You can also reserve online.

Like i said before,these busses are very good and can not be compared to the busses that are 50 years old.

It is your money so spend it as you please.Now you are saying there are two people to travel to Hua-hin so double the cost and i even think if your gf has no ticket she can not use the bus if it is busy.

In your case a taxi would be better and let your gf book it,good luck with a safe taxi and driver.

I have not been here so long yet but i was thinking bangers was something some people eat.

Why would anyone take a bus for that distance I assume they cannot afford a Taxi.

Crowded, some stranger sitting next to you.

Smelly stinky people everywhere.

Phone problem always people on calls loud mouth, ding ding ding messages, That high voice ¨Line¨.

People talkng loudly to each other could careless.

No control when you want to stop.

 

It is all a terrible experience in my opinion get a Taxi for peace and freedom.

So you travel by private airplane or at least first class?

Yes, sometimes it is, sometimes not. Depending on the driver. Many just refuse to go lower or use the meter

Yes of couse don't you?

 

Bus-probably same people who think economy is better then business class.

People that have sufficient funds and want a better travel experience choose a Taxi.  Another thing about the bus is the smell of feces occasionally coming up when someone uses the toilet.

Terrible.
