All you need to know to visit Hua Hin

Accommodations in Hua Hin

In Hua Hin, the cheapest guesthouses are located on Naresdamri Road part along the sea, Poonsuk Road and surrounding streets. If you choose to sleep in this area you will not be far from the beach and restaurants and the liveliest bars in the city. Those seeking for a little less tourists will probably prefer staying in Khao Takhiap. There are also some small hotels and guest houses at low prices.

How to go to Hua Hin ?

Hua Hin is famous for its yellow and red wooden train station, one of the oldest in Thailand (the oldest is in Kantang in Trang province) but it was recently replaced by a brand new, more modern and less charming station, a little further. Recent railway network improvements have made the train journey to Hua Hin faster (online reservation HERE). There are around a dozen trains per day which serve the city and which are more or less fast and therefore have more or less expensive seats. From Bangkok, some trains leave from Krung Thep Aphiwat station, others from Bangkok's old central station, Hua Lamphong station. However, buses and minivans are faster. Public or VIP buses depart regularly from Bangkok from the South Terminal (Sai Tai Mai). There are also minivans which offer this route from the Chatuchak Minibus Station opposite the Mo Chit terminal (online reservation here at the bottom of the page). Also practical, the VIP bus line connecting Suvarnabhumi airport (timetables and reservations HERE) or Nakhon Ratchasima in Hua Hin. Note that from May 4, 2024, a direct daily flight from Chiang Mai should also be set up by Air Asia.

How to get around in Hua Hin ?

Generally you can go from your hotel or guesthouse to the nearest beach by walking. But you will need transport to go to Hua Hin night or floating markets or Wat Huay Mongkhon or Khao Takiab or the bus terminal. White songthaews go to the two floating markets and Wat Huay Mongkhon, green songthaews go to Khao Takiab, both pass the largest night market and Hua Hin Market Village shopping mall. Recently another songthaew service appeared and tours around the city.
To go to the nearby towns of Cha Am, Phetchaburi or Pranburi, you can take the red local buses that leave every half hour. Many private taxis also offer their services everywhere in the city but not for short trips. They can take you to Bangkok airport (but there is a VIP bus going there too) or Pattaya for example. Their prices are quite high. YOu can also try to use GRAB application (similar to Uber but there is more Uber in Thailand) which is now available in Hua Hin.
