Bangkok To Hua Hin

[psychosid10]

My friend is coming to bangkok on 6th morning and plans to go straight to Hua hin by noon to stay there for 2 days ..

• How does she go to Hua hin from bangkok airport (her flight lands at 7AM) ?
  
• Any recommended hotel/resort (price range for hotel is 1000-1800)
  
• can i book those hotels from bkk ?
  

Thanks ..

If she goes straight to the motorcycle queue, the standard private taxi fare is about 1800 baht, plus toll road tolls and tip, to her door in Hua Hin. Say, a flat 2000 baht (tourists never have exact change, and neither do taxi drivers!).

You can go to the top of this forum to search for ads of discount hotel prices in Hua Hin. You and she can book them online.

for only 1200 more than a taxi the flight seems a reasonable option , views are probably good too.

what about buses ? does she need to go to ekammai bus station to catch a bus ? or is there any other convenient place closer to the airport..

If she goes straight to the motorcycle queue ....

I know, you mean taxi-queue...

Still gave me a chuckle just to imagine she would go by motor bike.

[taxexile]

the southern bus terminal in thonburi would be the place to get the bus , or the victory monument to catch a rot tuu.

there are also trains , they take about 4 hours to get down to hua hin.

[psychosid10]

what is a rot tuu?

rot tuu , are MiniVan's going certain Routes.

Operators fill them up and once full they go. No idea how much , but safer is going to the Southern Bus Terminal,take Bus to Hua Hin, specially if you not familiar with this.

If cost no problem ask @ the PublicTaxi stand for the price. Do not enquiry inside with Limousine Service , way to expensive.

THB 2000.- + toll ,seems a very good deal.

Take the airport bus @ 100 baht to Sanam Luang, from there a taxi @ around 50 baht to South Bus Station and from there the bus to Hua Hin @ about 150 baht.

That's true but being jet-lagged, sweaty and dead-tired makes for great sex which is priceless

great sex which is priceless

especially for a 90 year old...

Thanks, folks.

I never thought about the airplane. 5,300 baht round trip sounds great. How much for tuk-tuk from Hua Hin airport to, say, Khao Takiab?

And does the plane return to BKK shortly after refueling in HHin?

[taxexile]

if you google "hua hin airport"

you will find the full timetable.

sorry , dont know the tuk tuk fares

[johnnyk]

You can avoid southern bus terminal nonsense by taking airport bus (#2 I think) to Victory Monument then a/c minibus to HH for 160 baht. Minibus every 30 minutes, fast and more comfy than big blue bus plus he stops for a pee/snack break.

You can fly too, but I prefer moving rather than waiting around in an airport.

Up to you.

[psychosid10]

thanks a ton all of you esp johnnyk !!

i booked the Thipurai City Hotel 1600 /night .. seemed reasonable .. will recommend my friend to go by victory monument mini bus from bangkok ..

No, but he's "a really nice guy" who smiles a lot.

[ZEAK]

Does anyone know what time the last mini bus leaves from Victory monument to Hua Hin?

Thanks.

Thipurai is a good deal. I got a deluxe room this weekend for 1350, including breakfast. I think these are low season rates.

Great location. Decent enough rooms. Friendly staff.
