Bangkok to Hua Hin Destination Reviews

a very comfortable minibus to travel with. For the information of foreign tourists, the bus stops at the counter for 1 hour, so don't be surprised if you are suddenly taken to a small alley, but the purpose is to check data and transfer to another bus with the same quality.

Good journey from Bangkok (Ekkamai) to Hua Hin (Bluport) in a minibus which took 3.5hrs. Good driver, a couple of bathroom stops and he dropped us outside Market Village shopping mall instead of the actual destination which was a few hundred metres up the road. Much less stress than driving yourself to Bangkok.

We arrived in Hua Hin early, and the driver dropped us off right at the corner street near Mövenpick. The seats were quite narrow—avoid sitting in the last row, as it gets very bumpy and hot.

The driver made very good time. I know transport in general isn't made for someone who is 6 foot 5 inches tall so I expected for it to be cramped and uncomfortable, but my only complaint - taking into account what I've just said is the minivan's suspension needs replacing because you could feel every bump in the road. As a suggestion - given the journey may be 3.5 hours, nearer to 4 hours or longer would be to schedule a toilet break half way. Even those who don't need the toilet would welcome the chance to stretch their legs for 5 minutes.

There was a huge guy sitting beside me who was literally pressing my rib cage, it was really uncomfortable with a person thrice your size leaning on you. It would’ve been better if he got two seats.

Everything was good except the AC in the bus. Didn’t cool at all. Everyone was left sweating in the bus.

Train

Train is a often a great choice for long-haul travel especially if you opt for a night sleeper train with berths which will allow you to sleep all your journey through. To make the most of your train journey, choose the class of your ticket wisely.

Note that there are air-conditioned and fan-only carriages; private compartments for 2 or 4; hard and soft seats.
Though the upper class you get the smoother is your journey, often second class air-conditioned or fan-only sleepers are a good money saving alternative.

Van

Vans are a great alternative - or, in many cases - your only option - if you need to travel overland within one and the same province or neighbouring provinces or states. Vans ply the roads between Bangkok and Hua Hin, too.

Things to remember: When travelling by van with huge luggage buying a separate seat for your suitcase or backpack is a good idea. Do not expect there is a roomy luggage compartment in a van - there is actually none and your fellow passengers are unlikely to appreciate your luggage stuck under their feet, alas.
