What are the options for reaching Pranburi from Bangkok? Is there any regular minibus/van service, like the one to Hua Hin from the Vic Monument?

the mini vans dont go that far, so, maybe get off at hua hin and get the regular bus/taxi/tuk tuk to pran buri.

there is a bus from bangkok that used the bypass and misses hua hin, but its a regular bus and not very comfy.

Some buses that leave Bangkok from the Southern Terminal go to Prachuab Khiri Khan via Hua Hin and Pranburi. You can also go by train.

The train to Hua Hin takes twice as long as the van and only 3rd class is available, so not an option.

I live in Pranburi...have for 4 years and the van services do run here...as a matter of fact my best friend is in my gust house as we speak...coming from VICTORY MOMUMENT....... just make sure that you are able to pronanouce pranburi correctly....JEEZ spilild...where is your head not to know this ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

so sorry Garret, have just found out that i was wrong and there is a govt. run mini bus that runs to pranburi.

although it has only been running for about 4-5 months, so im fairly up to date. almost

The vans to Pran Buri leave from the northwest quadrant of the Victory Monument. They arrive near the new Lotus Tesco in PranBuri and take the highway 4 bypass around Hua Hin. Cost is about 200 baht I recall, takes about 3 hours.
