Hi all,

 

What's the best way to travel from Chiang Mai to Hua Hin? I guess there are no commercial flights to Hua Hin from anywhere, BKK included.

 

Am I looking at flying into BKK then hiring a car? I'd prefer a car to a bus or train - I'm more about convenience on this trip

 

Thanks in advance!

I've done it by bus. Not as terrible as it sounds. VIP express bus leaves CM 8:00pm, arrives HH about 6am. Seats recline almost fully so got some decent sleep. About 800B a few years ago.

 

I guess a new option is to fly Air Asia CM to U-Thapao and then take ferry across from Pattaya. Likely cost 3000+.

Ever heard oh Kan Air ?

Good point!

Consider the over night sleeper train from Chiang Mai to Bangkok. You get a flat bed, pillow and sheets. Much more comfortable than bus. Costs about 800 baht.

 

Then train (same Bangkok station) to Hua Hin.

There is a 24 seat VIP coach that goes from Suvarnabhumi. The counter for the coach is next to the one that goes to Pattaya. Travel time about 3 hours 30 minutes.

Kan Air is no good - no seats until next Friday :(

 

I'm doing a flgiht on Air Asia this evening to DMX, then a car to Hua Hin. That's if my credit card company will unblock my now restricted card and let me book the very last seat available on the flight I want - lol! 

 

Maybe I'll wait until tomorrow and just drink beer tonight.

Book early, I've tried a few times and been all sold out, sleeper that is not seating .
