Minibus
Minibuses from Bangkok to Hua Hin depart from several places: Suvarnabhumi Airport, metro near Victoria Monument, Khaosan Road, South or North bus stations. This is very convenient, since there is an alternative choice. Passengers can get to any station that is closest to them.
The cost of the trip is 200 baht, and this does not depend in any way on the selected departure station. Minibus travel time averages from 2.5 to 3 hours.

The thing is that the drivers there organized an illegal bus station, since minibuses from the Monument went to all directions of the country. Now all flights are distributed between the main bus stations in Bangkok, and a shuttlebus runs from Victoria Monument, which delivers its passengers to one of the capital's stations for free.

One of the best coffee shops in the country operates on the territory of the station. And the cost of a cup of coffee does not exceed 70 baht.
Taxi
A taxi ride is one of the easiest and at the same time comfortable ways to travel. But we can’t say that this is a budget option. If you order a transfer from the airport to Hua Hin, the driver will meet you in the arrivals hall, guide you to the car and help with your luggage.

If you want to save a little, then having previously found out the cost of a taxi at the counters, go to the upper floors of the terminal and go outside. There you can try to catch a car that has delivered passengers to the airport and is about to go back. Don't forget to bargain, as the first price from taxi drivers is usually too high.
Own car
If you are an active traveler, and even have an international driving license, then here, without a doubt, you can rent a car and drive to Hua Hin in it. Just remember that traffic in Thailand is on the left, so you need to be more careful on the road.
It is best to order a car via the Internet using the website. It has many offers from the largest companies in the country. Through the Internet, the price can be an order of magnitude lower than when ordering directly. Plus, some companies include an insurance fee in the rental price.

Independent trip to Hua Hin from Bangkok
If you started your independent trip to Thailand by visiting Bangkok (for information on how to get to the Thai capital from the airport, see the “Bangkok” section), then it is best to go to Hua Hin by minibus from Victory Monument.
Moving to Hua Hin takes place in three steps.
Step 1. We arrive at the bus station at Victory Monument
Victory Monument is easily accessible by skytrain (BTS station of the same name). If you are staying in a hotel in Bangkok that is not near a metro station, you can use a taxi or tuk-tuk.
Below is a map of the Bangkok metro and a map of the Thai capital with the designation of the BTS Victory Monument station.
Step 2. We buy tickets and get into the minibus
Victory Monument
Buses from Victory Monument depart to different cities from different places near the monument. Hua Hin minibuses are based on the left side if you stand facing the monument after exiting the metro.

The bus to Hua Hin passes the Cha-Am resort on the way and makes a stop there opposite Bangkok Bank. In Hua Hin, he arrives at the bus station, which is located on Soi 96. This is quite far from the center and the area of inexpensive hotels, so it is better to get off not at the final one, but 8-10 minutes earlier, at Soi 55 or 57, where the tourist area is located. In principle, you can get off at any point on the route, since before arriving at the bus station, the bus passes the entire city along the main street.
2. By taxi.
Taxi from Suvarnabhumi is a good option, if there are several of you. The official reservation counter is located on the ground floor (Level 1), and can be reached by following the “Public Taxi” signs. Taxi drivers use the meter, plus you have to pay an additional 50 baht for landing at the airport.
It will be a little cheaper if you take a taxi on the 4th floor, in the Departure Area. They arrive here with passengers. They are not allowed to stand, so they drop people off and immediately leave. You need to immediately run up to them and agree on a price without a meter. You can bargain for 500 baht cheaper.
A taxi from Don Muang Airport will be a little more expensive. The situation is the same there - either take an official taxi (the stand is on the 1st floor), or go outside the airport along a covered walkway to the street (where buses go) and catch a private taxi driver.
Pattaya
To get to Hua Hin from Pattaya you no longer need to change trains in Bangkok. At Pattaya North Bus Terminal they sell tickets for a direct bus, currently costing 389 baht. Departure at 11 o'clock, travel time - 4-5 hours.
A less budget, but more comfortable option is to negotiate with a taxi. And if there are several of you, it won’t be much more expensive than taking a minibus. You can also order online, for example.
Chiang Mai
Recently it has become possible to get directly from Hua Hin to Chiang Mai. The company Sombat Tour is doing this. Buses depart from the new bus station. In fact, there are two of them, located across the road. Tickets can be bought both there and there. They go three times a day: at 8:00, 18:15 and 19:30. On the way back, from Hua Hin to Chiang Mai buses depart at 8:00, 17:00 and 18:00. Travel time is about 12 hours.
It is better to choose an evening flight, as you can sleep during the journey. And in the morning, the whole day is wasted, plus you will be shown Thai films, music and entertainment shows all the way, which is very annoying. It is better to buy tickets in advance, since a couple of hours before departure they may no longer be available, especially during the high season, on weekends and holidays. Buses arrive in Hua Hin near the bus station on Soi 96. From there you can take public songthaews to the center for 10 baht.
Hua Hin is perhaps the most easily accessible gate-away from Bangkok. When you want to escape to the sea from the metropolis, Hua Hin is a very rational choice. In terms of distance from Bangkok, it is only a little further than Pattaya, but the atmosphere there is completely different. Behind Hua Hin the city's fame for sex tourism and crowds Russian tourists not found. Getting to Hua Hin from Bangkok is quite easy.
Taxi Bangkok – Hua Hin
The most expensive way to get to Hua Hin (not counting a helicopter and other fantasies) is a taxi. On average, you will have to pay 2,500 baht per trip, although with the ability (and inability) to bargain, it may turn out to be less (or more). According to the meter, taxi drivers long distances They really don’t like to drive, so you need to discuss the price with the driver in advance. Travel time is not much different from traveling by minivan or bus and is about 2 hours (if there are no traffic jams).
Bus and minivan Bangkok – Hua Hin
It is worth considering that if you have a lot of oversized luggage, then the minivan may ask for an additional fee (depending on the greed of the driver, up to the cost of the ticket).
Bus from Suvarnabhumi Airport
Trains leave from Bangkok Hua Lampong railway station (which can be reached by metro - you need to get to the station of the same name) and arrive at Hua Hin railway station (between Soi 76 and Soi 78).
The seated cars on this route are simply terrible: the lights don't turn off, the windows don't close, there are a lot of mosquitoes, there's no air conditioning. The cost of a place in a sleeper car is too high. So I don’t know who would be interested in a train trip in principle.
Below on the map you can find the main stops in Bangkok, from where you can go to Hua Hin.
Have a nice trip!
