It has recently increased to 3 times daily with the last leaving HH at 1700.
Just tried a dummy booking on their website and appears to working okay. My daughter tried to book a few days ago but after realising her flight was 3am decided against it not wanting to wait for several hours at the airport.

Dad to the rescue!!

I successfully booked the 5pm bus on line a month ago. Ignore the message "na" and continue selecting your options. It has a 50 baht booking fee to book online.

I think the N/A in the Remarks column may mean 'no remarks'. Image

Trying to book the bus for a trip from HH to Pattaya on June 5, no joy only May works, so looks like I will have to book it when later, as I don’t get to HH until May 24. Also their departure from HH has changed yet again? Grrr now saying 11am?

Yes, 11 am , I took it last Sunday. Only booked it the day before, not full, you have plenty of time from 24/5 arrival. :cheers:

Plenty of time when you get here to take a trip to the bus station and pay cash, 426 Baht !

BTW I paid 300 Baht for my tuk tuk from Soi 94 to the bus station so it's a good deal. :thumb:

I'm finally returning to Thailand at the end of this week (2+ years away thanks to the Chinese virus). It's a shame the schedule for the airport bus is quite limited now but understandable.
The current options are: 10:00, 12:30, 14:30 & 18:00.
I arrive at 13:30, is an hour enough time to clear all the palava?
Obviously I'm not going to hang around for the last bus although definitely my preferred means of return.
Does anyone know the going rate for airport taxis to Hua Hin just now? I seem to recall paying 3,000thb the last time I used one. I know you can book alternative transportation but the airport taxi is convenient and cost is covered by my company expenses.

My opinion only. You "touch down" at 1330 and it will be close to 1400 after gate arrival and the long walk to immigration, unless you get a lucky gate. Then there is who knows what concerning checking Covid documents, then luggage.

If I was a gambling man? :D :cheers:

I'm hoping I get lucky and it's a quiet period.. booked the ticket anyway. 394thb including bags so not a big loss if I miss it, I'll probably get home quicker in the taxi even if departing later than the bus. A lot more relaxing on the bus as apposed to the white-knuckle drive by some lunatic on wheels...

If you book in advance with Bliss, I think John paid 1500฿ less than 2 months ago. Bliss always supply an excellent car, and a very safe driver.

[Edit] The journey I talk about was going to the airport. It looks like a slight premium from the airport.

Thanks B.B. I'll bear in mind for next time. Unless the airport bus improves their schedule then I imagine I'll be using taxis more frequently in future. 1,500thb is a pretty good price.
Hopefully I'll catch the bus this trip otherwise it will be wacky race time.
