If it has that's shocking, you can get to Bangkok and halfway back for that!

I know fuel has increased no end but moto taxis around Hua Hin are only charging an additional ten baht or so. Anyone that wants 250 to go to Takiab wants shooting!

A rough guide to prices can be found here:

Figure adding on 10-20 baht to most of those fares with the fuel price increase though.

Get the Green Songthaew - only 10 Baht each way. Excellent value.

Some are still 150, others try with 170-180...never heard of 250 -though if it were late at night and a tuktuk, it certainly would not surprise me

I think the Moto Sai and Tuk Tuk prices on that guide are way way out Buks.

I personally think the majority of Tuk Tuk drivers in Hua Hin are theiving ******** but the price to Takiab should be 150 baht.

Get a phone number and get them to pick you up wherever you are, this way you dont have to barter everytime you just want a Taxi.
