Leoedgar, I was told that once you have 10 posts under your belt, you can send and receive PMs, so you should be able to read it now.

Two thumbs up for Leo's driver and car. My bus arrived 4:10am, 50min early in Bangkok.
Mr. Ling was only minutes away.
Driving his fully loaded newer Toyota Camry. Drove in a very safe manner. Would stop anywhere you wanted. My better half and I shared the back seat with plenty of room to spare.
Large trunk fit my oversized hard golf club case and 1 large and small suitcase.

Anybody needing a private car for a good price...call Mr. Ling.

Hi Leo and MRock,

Sounds like Mr Ling got good endorsements from you guys. I'm dropping by Hua Hin later this month. Can you please pass me his contact number as well? (ivantkl@yahoo "dot" com)

Would appreciate it.

Cheers!

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 round. Also, the view from the trains are pretty good and I always fondly remember staring out the train windows on my many train travels around LOS at the areas it went through, just a forgotten public service crying out for funding with no intention of modernising.

There are the odd train accidents still but I'd choose it over a loony minivan driver any day (jump off and on points possible to my plan), unless you are in a proper rush.

Cheers.

I usually use the train when my final destination is Bangkok. I just wish they'd add a couple more air con second class trains. The 400pm departure from Hua Hin is okay, but there is nothing midday or afternoon departing from Bangkok.

I tried 2nd class fan car twice, and it was just a bit too uncomfortable. One time it roared (not!) through an area where they had just finished burning the sugar cane fields, and the smoke smell was quite intense.

Two questions: A) How much is the train? What time does the ride from HH to BKK take?

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.
