Getting from BKK to Prachuap Khiri Khan

[blossombkk]

Hi,

I intend to go to Prachuap Khiri Khan on coming weekend.

It says I should take the bus from Southern Bus Terminal, which is quite a ride for me.

Does anybody know if there are vans going there from Victory Monument? or any other place? I live near Suthorn.

Thanks for any kind of help.

From Bangkok, there are minibuses from Victory Monument for B240. It takes 4 to 5 hours, with a stop at Hua Hin. It terminates at the minibus stop in Prachuap City. This is about a block from the road into the city (at its northern end). The minibus leaves from pretty well directly under the BTS station, right on the corner where Phaya Thai Road starts(and heads toward Phaya Thai BTS station)).

If you are coming from Hua Hin, take a minibus from the Clocktower in the main street. Will cost B160, and will deliver you to the minibus stop in Prachuap City, where minibuses can be taken to Chumphon and Hua Hin.Toilet facilities are available near the stop.

If coming from Chumphon, take a minibus from the minibus stop in Krumliang Rd(see Chumphon listing) for B180. Takes 2.5 hours.

Train's very pleasant if you're not in a hurry, right from Hualumphong

I'd take a taxi it's safer than the mini van and the train.

That's very informative. Thank you.

Skint: you mean like a private taxi? isn't it expensive?

Train goes too slow to be unsafe

A taxi is a taxi, you know with a meter?

And yes it would be at least B2000, possibly double.

But so many wealthy sophisticated guys here on TV you have to realize, we ordinary poor folk need to show them proper respect.

1800 baht, if cost is important then I'd take the train over the minivan.
