Hua Hin to Don Muang and return

[barrys]

Does anyone know if you can get the minibus from Don Muang to Hua Hin from around the same place where they drop you off when going the opposite way from Hua Hin to Don Muang?
Alternatively, does anyone have a phone number for this service.
Thanks for any help you may have!

I did this last month. From DM take a taxi to Rangsit. There's a mall and cinema there, the taxi needs to do a u-turn as the vans on that side go to Pattaya etc. There's a row of stalls by the roadside , I think it's the last stall that goes to HH.

We asked the same question when we came back last year. They told us they couldn't make pick-ups because the drop-off is the first of several stops they make. The bus goes back to Victory Monument to start the return journey.

We got a taxi to Suvarnabumi, and the airport bus from there.

Thanks a lot for that! Took your advice. Taxi from airport to Rangsit 175 baht (with meter + 50 baht official surcharge for driver imposed at airport).
Got minibus more or less straightaway for HH at 200 baht per pax. Arrived HH 3 1/2 hours later.

I just used DMK a couple of days ago and thought this will be useful.

There's no need to grab an outside bus/taxi to Rangsit anymore to take the minibus to HH. DMK now has big buses (with a/c) inside the airport (follow the big "BUS" signs), going directly to Mo Chit via the tollway. It's fast, cheap (30 baht/person), and you can bring your luggage on board. Mo Chit has minibuses to HH. If you're staying in Bangkok you can instead hop on the skytrain there.

I'm doing DMK to Hua Hin next month. Are the minibuses easy to find at Mo Chit?

The photo of the HH-Don Muang van schedule in this post is no longer correct. They're running the vans every 40 minutes now. Here's an updated one for reference:

Personally I would rather pay 2500 bht and go door to door, stop for a beer and bite on way. Trying to do it on the cheap justs ends in stress. If you can't afford that amount, you won't enjoy your time in TH!

What an elitist attitude that is. Not everyone has the means to afford the more expensive alternative.

The van to don muang can no longer stop at don muang. The police apparently watches out for the vans and fines them if they stop there. Passengers must get off around din daeng or at rangsit park and make their way to the airport.

Hopefully this situation won't last long...
