The Hua Hin - Cha Am - Pattaya ferry stopped years ago.

 

In high season 2002 a travel agent in Pattaya Soi Post Office was selling tickets for a boat trip to Hua Hin and Cha Am operating once a week on a Thursday (I think). I went across and returned the following week but had to make a prior arrangement. The trip took about 6 hours with a half hour stop at Cha Am. It was not available last year. Some speedboat operators list a fare, it is a lot and be warned it is a hell of a long way to go in a speedboat. Ask around the travel agents in Hua Hin.

 

The U Tapao - Koh Samui - Phuket Bangkok airways flight used to land at Hua Hin but this has stopped. Last year I went by car & thought there was a bridge across the river nearer the coast than BKK, there isn't, we had to go into BKK, cross the river and all the way back out and it was horrendous journey (also 6 hours) probably worse because I went on a Friday afternoon.

 

Best of luck - sorry the info is all negative.

 

stevoh.
