Songkhran escape - Hua Hin/Cha-am

[Dusit99]

Hi,

I am looking to escape bkk for Songkhran with my gf. I would like to go no further than Hua Hin and I am looking find a place near the beach within the prize range of 1,500 Baht. Does anyone have any recommendations? Also, I wanna leave Saturday returning Monday - will it be an issue to get a taxi? And will traffic be an issue?

Thanks in Advance,

Andreas

Here are a few in that price range

Season palace Hotel

Thipurai Hotel

A & B Hotel

Chomsin Hotel

A taxi back may be a bit hard to get and there will most likely be a lot of traffic

Thanks. However, I followed all yuour links and booking.com says they are all fully booked from 13th-16th :/

Try here then with those dates, the tool I used only showed special deals upcoming in the next week or so

There is a limousine service available, likely no more - possibly less - than a taxi, pick-up and drop-back. Don't know whether I should give you contact details here or not?

The online booking sites offer plenty of hotel choice, though you're leaving it late.

Traffic will probably be an issue - certainly on the way back. And Hua Hin does have Songkran - granted it's the one day and over at dusk.

Price quadriples for Songkran if you can get in,and there is no escape,believe me,been there done that.

Cha am and Hua Hin are always a top destination for Thais on holidays and Songhran is booked months in advance. Petchkasem Road will be bumper to bumper almost from Petchaburi to Hua Hin and could take 5-6 hours for a normal one hour drive. Leave very very early and maybe look a little further towards Pak Nam Pram or afield.

Going to Hua Hin for Songkran is a masochist decision

Why come to Cha Am for Songkhran

We live here and find it a nightmare.

Too crowded no parking, takes too long to go anywhere.

Stay at home with enough booze and food LOCK the doors

Hi,

I don't wish to be rude, but Chomsin and Thipurai are a bit grimey. Most of the decent rooms are gone by now, but you may be able to find some last minute rooms at the Citin.

The Blueberry across from Market Village usually has a few rooms and Just Beds next door has a couple rooms in peak season.

Be warned that the traffic is starting now and you can expect to take 30-60 minutes alone to get through the Cha AM- Hua Hin bottleneck.

I live here but used this place many times prior to moving here, highly recommended but is well known and has a loyal following, book well in advance.
