Airport VIP Bus to and from Hua Hin

[Ginjaninja]

The fact that there is a toilet on board, am I right in thinking there are no stops on the journey??

Non-stop and there is a toilet however it's like an acrobatic adventure trying to take a piss standing up. Maybe easier for yersel B.L.

Believe me GN, every toilet experience in LOS is an adventure.
And I am used to standing, due to the hole in the floor design.
The squats are good for my figure!

Only a short stop in Cha am for pick or drop of passenger.

And they won't stop directly at your condo (on Petchkasem Rd.) on the way to the bus station - I asked.

You have to ask very very nicely ... in Thai

Hua Hin bus station then pickup in Cha Am and then straight to Suvarnabhumi Airport

Yes, when I arrived at the bus station in April I managed to get a motorbike taxi from there to the centre of town for 50 bt. There was a couple of taxis there but I asked for a bike as there was a lot of traffic about and they found me one from outside in the street.

So does that include a suitcase and hand-luggage ? if it's possible,and I suppose with the right thai driver anything is,then that's what I'll do too when I arrive at the bus-station. While I'm on,using MV as a reference is the bus station far from that ?

About a five minute walk South.

There are taxis at the bus station and it will only cost you 100THB to get into the city center.

I only had hand luggage so a motorbike was no problem, if you've got a suitcase a motorbike taxi would still take you if it was physically possible but most times of the day you would have no problem using a taxi or tuk-tuk to the centre. It just so happened that I arrived early in the evening when the traffic was a bit snarled up.

It's not much easier sitting down.

Only in Thailand could you have a coach which, right next to the toilet, and directly under the sink, has a big warning sign saying "Caution... Electronics box. No splashing"!

... if you've got a suitcase a motorbike taxi would still take you if it was physically possible ...

I once saw a moto taxi doing about 35kpm on an open stretch of Petchkasem carrying a passenger who was pulling his wheeled luggage alongside the bike. I drew even with them, smiled at the passenger and got a 'Yea, I don't believe I'm doing this either.' grin in return.

Maybe they call it a VIP bus because calling it an Express bus wouldn't be accurate. Taken on a morning run from HH to BKK last month:

The woman in the dark blue uniform with the need to stop a full bus for her caffeine was the bus attendant.
