Minivan to Hua Hin

[rvdk]

They stopped the minivan service from Victory Monument to Hua Hin, so are their minivans from Mochit or Southern bus terminal or other options?

well, should be pretty obvious-moved to Sai Thai. Did not see any at Mochit-but then did not really check all the 100+ from there.

Note that the VANs have moved to what most people now call OLD Sai Thai but what used to be NEW Sai Thai-BEFORE the big bridge in that long road! There are many superbig signs to point this to taxidrivers along the road-but you may have to remind them that they should NOT go up the sky-express-way before.

The nr of big-size 1st cl buses has dwindled even furhter from the now new(est) Sai Thai-official name is Sai Thai Taling Chan, but many vans ALSO call there (most likely you will have to wait for them to first leave their terminus for a fone-arranged pick up from their stands). This Sai Thai has after a year or 2 of near emptiness been revived as a giant 2nd hand clothes/fashion outlet and there is now also a giant and pretty good NIGHTmarket beside-starts around dusk.

Best ALT is the hourly BELL bus from Swampy. Or plan C-the train-always promoted by a self-appointed bunch of SRT-lovers.

There is a big new mini van bus terminus. They call it Mo Chit 2. It is far better organised than the old VICTORIA Monument chaos. It is in the area called Chatuchak. I got a bus to HuaHin just about 2 weeks ago. 180Baht. 2 and a half hour trip. Very easy. See the attached screen grab of the google map.
