Surat Thani to Hua Hin by train

[TimandT]

Can anyone confirm that the first train out of Surat Thani to Bangkok stopping at Hua Hin is at 10:40?
Any idea of the cost?

It's ok. I managed to get the new website to work with translation and think it is around 460 baht per person and arrives Hua Hin at 15:58 give or take an hour or two!

There's also a timetable here http://www.tourismhuahin.com/trains-huahin.php and the arrival time seems to match within a couple of minutes.

Went to catch the 11:11 DRC 43 to Prachuap Khiri Khan last Wednesday for my first train trip in Thailand and found the time on the board had been changed to 11.36.

Very surprised with the journey. I was given lunch soon after boarding and a guard came and told me when I was approaching Pruachuap Khiri Khan without being asked.

I will go by the station again soon and take a photo of the new time table!
