PATTAYA TO HAU HIN

[conley]

I WILL BE IN PATTAYA IN 4 WEEKS TIME FOR 10 DAYS BUT THEN WILL BE MAKING MY WAY TO HAU HIN FOR A WEEK. I RECKON THE JOURNEY IS IN EXCESS OF 200 MILES SO A TAXI MAY BE A BIT PRICEY. HAS ANYBODY MADE THIS JOURNEY PREVIOUSLY? IF BY TAXI, HOW MUCH? IF BY BUS, IS THERE A SERVICE DIRECT OR IS IT VIA BANGKOK AND AGAIN HOW MUCH?

Try a bus from Pattaya to Bangkok,then catch a train to HH.Cheapest way I know , but about 2hrs longer than by taxi. hope this helps

Conley, you have various options here:

 

Taxi direct from PTY to HH -- should cost between 1500-2500 baht and take 5-6 hours.

 

Taxi to BKK and then train to HH -- 700-1000 for taxi and about 3-400 baht for train.

 

Bus to BKK and then air con mini van that leaves from the Victory monument. The vans to Hua Hin run all day at least until 6pm, leaving when they're full. The fare is 140 baht and you're in Hua Hin in 2.5 hours.

 

If time is not a concern I would recommend the taxi-train option. The trip offers great views and there's plenty of vendors selling food and drinks. (Be warned the official train food is crap!) Train trip takes 3-4 hours. Get a second class, air con ticket (try to book this in advance from Pattas if possible as they can sell out.)
