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.

No,i do not travel first class,i am not able to afford that.

I might give it a try though , if only to see for myself if the faeces of the affluent really  don't smell, unlike  like those of us normal people

And a few regulars like myself get ready to puke when we read these effusions of the minor private school mind.....

They always start their posts with "Hi guys" or similar.   And I've never understood the "bangers" thing,  it not even an abbreviation for gods sake.

Is this the product of minor public schools,   Or evidence of a different emerging class of visitor.   I'm thinking retired estate agents,  or retired assistant managers from the smaller budget supermarkets,  Or even more worryingly one of those highly annoying telephone sales types

 Nice to know his "good lady" is meeting him ,   I knew she'd wait for him lol

Never take the cheap vans anywhere. 
Taxi is easiest . About 2000 

VIP is what it says, VIP ,  not a 50 yr old school bus.  Under 400 for 1 person.  
Up to you and your wallet.

its only 200km for gods sake ,  why not be adventurous and engage the services of a tuk tuk ?  apologies I've no idea  what the trendy slang is for that amongst the annoying telesales /  MLM community 

No need to negotiate a price beforehand either, let him keep you guessing for the entire journey, adding to the fun

Private car is the best and safest alternative as I would not trust my life to those reckless bus or van drivers, no matter how "VIP" they could be considered.

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.

I have used it a few times and as for smelly I'll outsmell the best.

I got the bus from Ekamai bus station , couple hundred baht , was good, dropped me off on cnr from hotel.

I stopped using the bus. It was 305 baht from the airport to the bus depot outside of the city. You were then crammed onto a smelly overstuffed crowded van for another 100 baht for the drive into Hua Hin. If staying outside the main strip, you still had to get a  tuktuk for 200-250 baht from clock tower. Then the bus company started trying to charge excess baggage weight, and if you had 2 bags they wanted an additional bag fee. They started charging for online ticket purchasing. At peak season, it becomes a hassle to get a seat  and the departure times are sometimes inconvenient, The Customer service went from abrupt to rude and arrogant. Sometimes I travel with a friend or 2 to Hua Hin so it just wasn't worth it. 

Now we just either drive or take a driver for 2000 baht for a Camry or 2400 baht for an SUV. Once when we were several we took a private van for 3000 baht. It can sit 8 and there were 4 of us so every got to stretch out and sleep.  It gets there faster than the bus since there are no stops and transfers. It's private and less annoying. We use Hua Hin Cab.

Train, infrequent and 3rd class is a bit hard on the backside. I don't know the exact fare but 100 baht should cover it.  But most important (for me) is it's multiple times safer than some of the F1 bus drivers.

Oh, and stop off in Cha Am, better beach and caters for long term residents rather than tourists.

 

 

You seriously believe Cha Am  is a better beach? The vehicles park all along the beach perimeter 2 rows thick with  pushy vendors of crap camped out on the strip. Getting to the narrow beach forces one to run the gauntlet. The beach road is lined with mediocre restaurants specializing in greasy fried food. Hua Hin beach between the Marriott all the way down to the Hyatt is often sparsely filled, is wide and open. The best swimming is farther south at the Pines army recreation area and golf course. Yes, Cha Am has many seasonal residents crammed into the condo towers. The houses behind the  beach road hotels are concreted patches, many with for sale or for rent signs on them. The quality of dining and of access to retail, health care and food stores is superior in Hua Hin. The only reason why so many foreigners are in Cha Am is because it was cheaper to purchase property. It's not a bad place, but it is a bit of an elderly ghetto. Hua Hin is distinguished by its youthful and vibrant Thai population because it hosts a large university, military training facilities, provincial government offices, hospitals, the Royal summer residence, and is where Bangkok's families and educated young people weekend or take holidays. Yes, lots of foreign tourists, but aside from high season are not particularly noticeable.
