There are afternoon trains from Bkk to HH. One at about 13.30, (which I think is the Yala sleeper) then one about 16.30 ish which gets in to HH about quarter to ten - given a back wind! I think there's also one from Bkk about midday. It was actually Margaret who wrote about the train arriving at ab...

Thanks also to margaretcarnes and TimandT. One more question to TimandT who wrote "about 16.30 ish which gets in to HH about quarter to ten - given a back wind!" - should we suppose the train always to be (much) late?

Thanks, it was an easy to use page, with info about the fare as well.

Does anyone know if the train HH - BKK is running (properly)?

Now I drive myself everywhere (I know not an option for all), if I didn't, then I'd probably take the train as I reckon it appears to be the safest mode of transportation still, just a slight restriction of lines/destinations to and from etc, although not the case from BBK to HH and the other way r...

Crowded or what?

Thanks for the information

Good to hear. I'm staying there in February.

I visited Hua Hin on my own a couple of days in Feb 1993. I had been to Chang Mai and Chang Rai to learn about how civil society/peoples organisations could use development aid money to support indigenous groups who had (and still have) a tough time in the Thai society. I was tired and went down jus...

Really didn't expect soapy massage to be available at Sofitel.

Yep, take a mini-van and roll the dice as to whether you get there in one piece......or not, freaking lunatics they are. :| After a three week trip in Vietnam and Cambodja it would be stupid to "roll the dice" as to whether get the last days of rest before going home again or not. /Bluebe...

I don´t like the mini bus, so I have found a private driver which will take me from anywhere in BKK t HH for 1800 bt, and he drive me to the door. From HH to BKK he charge me 1600 bt, and he will sop for a rest when I ask him, and it´s alloved to smoke in the car. Might have been a deal - if it was...
