Dear Friends ,

But I was unable to find info about Micro Bus Fair.

In the thread "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles at the top of this section there is this advice from Johnnyk:

f you are already in BKK the best, fastest, cheapest and most convenient way is from Victory Monument - getting to the southern bus terminal is a pain.

Information is updated as follows:

Cost is now 160 baht. A/C Minibuses leave every 20-30 minutes from Victory Monument.

Take the skytrain to Victory Monument stop. Exit and stay to the left. You will walk along an elevated walkway for a few minutes that will bring you down into an area of market stalls and shops. You will see a hospital across the road to your left.

Go between the shops/stalls and come out on to a sidewalk in a small road. You will see a line of minivans. Across the road in front of a metal fence you will see guys sitting at small tables, ask anyone of them for HuaHin (Wah Hin) they will point to the right table.

Buy the ticket (the seller will point to the correct bus) and go back across the road.

Best seat (IMO) is behind the driver. Takes about 2.5 hours depending on traffic and/or weather.

Professor Fart adds that the fare to Cha-am is 120bt

Not a bad deal I must say.

Enjoy your holiday!

Is there a connection to the airport either direct from HH or from Victory monument ?

We have to catch a flight to Hat Yai at 15:50 , when should we leave from HH ?

I know that Regent Cha Am offers their own bus service direct from Bangkok to the hotel. It leaves from the Regent House building on Rajdamri Road (close to Rajdamri Skytrain station).

I don't know the schedule or details- if you call the hotel or Regent Bangkok office in Regent House, they will certainly help you.

Airport bus (#2, I think) operates between the airport and Victory Monument but I don't know where it stops at Victory Monument. Fare will be about 100 baht to airport.
