Time/Distance from Hua Hin to Pattaya
Time/Distance from Hua Hin to Pattaya
Has anyone gone this route recently?
Just wondering what the duration and cost for the following methods of transportation:
1. Taxi/Limo
2. State transport bus
3. other
Would it differ much between night and day travel especially getting past Bangkok?
I look forward to any comments y'all might have....

Re: Time/Distance from Hua Hin to Pattaya
I've taken a minibus direct and it wa s much faster than the above posts.about 5 hours
I was also driven there byafrend who drives really fast and wewere there in less than 4 hours.
Today I think I would take the VIPbus to Swampy and then a bus to Patt from there, that would be 3hrs + 2hrs +conection time

The VIP bus goes to Pattaya at 11am each day, without having to change.

Re: Time/Distance from Hua Hin to Pattaya
Yesbb,I heard that recently. By the way if you ask when you are buying tickets how long it wil ltake, they give a pessimistic answer. Guess this prevents people from complaining. For instance I have taken the bus to swampy many times and it has taken anything fron 2h 55m to 3h 25m but they tell you 4-5 hours.

Re: Time/Distance from Hua Hin to Pattaya
Assuming the timing is ok, that's the way I would go JG, direct journey and whilst not as quick as the minibus, more comfortable and almost certainly a safer journey.Big Boy wrote:The VIP bus goes to Pattaya at 11am each day, without having to change.

Re: Time/Distance from Hua Hin to Pattaya
When I went by minibus they stopped to refuel twice, luckily it was only a 10 min stop each time, but I have known a refuel stop to take 30+ minutes. I doubt that the bus stops to refuel
Re: Time/Distance from Hua Hin to Pattaya
Since the Bell Travel Service non-stop bus between Hua Hin and Pattaya started in December 2015, I've taken it for seven round-trips. The fastest in either direction was 4:45. I'd say average time was 5:00 each way. Are we talking about the same bus service??? (Your timings sound more like the bus between Hua Hin and Suvarnabhumi airport.)oakdale160 wrote:Yesbb,I heard that recently.

PS: The longest was a Hua Hin to Pattaya segment that took 6:30. But... we were in an accident on a Bangkok Freeway and waited at the side of the road for 40 minutes for a replacement bus.
