When choosing the airport bus to Hua Hin, there are two main bus services to choose from and both depart from Level 1 in Suvarnabhumi Airport.

When you arrive and have collected your baggage, exit via the Customs area on Level 2 and then take the moving walkway or the lift down to Level 1 and look for Gate No. 8 which is located near to the Magic Food Point food hall.

If you are familiar with where the taxi stand is, then Gate No. 8 is at the far end of that level, close to the foodhall.

* If you choose to get off at No.2, you cannot change to get off at No.1 after the coach has departed. This is because your baggage will be put far inside of the baggage compartment which will be difficult and will take time to remove all the baggage in order to get your bag. Therefore, if you want to change your drop-off, you must inform the driver before he puts your bag into the compartment. Otherwise, you will have to get off where you originally selected.

Bags upto 20 kg and one hand baggage is included in the bus ticket, excess baggage incurs an additional charge.

There are no child or elderly fares, but read the Conditions for children under 8 years, if you don't want to pay for a seat for them.

I remember going to Hua Hin once in a van that I caught from Victory Monument, before they moved location.

Upon arrival at the bus station in Hua Hin I needed to then take a tuk-tuk to my hotel and the fare to travel a distance less than 2 km was the same as the van fare from Bangkok.

Walking wasn't really an option as there was a massive thunderstorm going on, so I just had to pay up.

So when you are budgeting your trip, then bear in mind that there will be an additional fee for the transport to your Hua Hin hotel.

The infographic below gives some idea of the additional hotel tranfer costs.

Taxi From Suvarnabhumi Airport to Hua Hin

Whilst taking the airport bus to Hua Hin is a convenient option for many, there is also the choice of taking a taxi.

If you are wondering how much is the taxi from Suvarnabhumi Airport to Hua Hin, well like most travel in Thailand, it is relatively inexpensive and certainly worthy of consideration.

The Bangkok Airport to Hua Hin taxi fare is going to be around 2400 baht and if you have more than two passengers this is going to more cost effective and convenient than taking the bus.

The general taxi rank in Suvarnabhumi Airport is located outside of Gate 4 on Level 1.

However, bear in mind that three adults with three suitcases are unlikely to fit into the standard Bangkok taxi as there is already an LPG tank in the boot.

The travel distance from Suvarnabhumi Airport to Hua Hin town is 230 km and takes approx 3 - 4 hours, depending upon traffic.

Pre-booking anything with more adults involved or where the use of child seats is necessary is the way to go. 

AOT transfers can be pre-booked or arrange the taxi from Suvarnabhumi Airport to Hua Hin via your hotel.

AOT desks are located inside the baggage collection hall.

Van to Hua Hin

For larger groups, the airport bus to Hua Hin is not going to be the cheapest option and so a van can be considered. 

For those groups wanting to go to Hua Hin, there is also the option of hiring a 10-seater van for 4500 baht on the Roong Reuang booking site, although you may have to conclude the communication via email.

I presume it comes with a driver and without the dent.

Where To Stay In Hua Hin

Whether you take the airport bus to Hua Hin or go by car, often trips are planned at short notice and you may not have chosen your final location to stay.

One option is to book a cheap hotel in Hua Hin to cover the first few days of your trip whilst you scout around for something more permanent.

Explore this link to Hua Hin Hotels on Agoda  and choose your dates.

Filter your search using the options for:

• Star Ratings (top)
• Location (left hand side)

If you sort on the Star Ratings tab and then select the Guest Rating greater than 7.

As a general guide to get a reasonable standard, look for places with at least 200 reviews and a score of at least 7.0 or higher and then read the reviews.

If you can afford to spend a little more, then Hua Hin has no shortage of up-market hotels.

If you are thinking of taking the bus from Bangkok Airport to Hua Hin and want something a bit more upmarket then this Agoda link to The Hilton Hotel will show availability and pricing.

I have stayed here several times and find it really convenient as it is located right by the Hua Hin night markets.
