By Train

There are several trains departing from Bangkok to Hua Hin which is on the Syrat Thani rail line, it takes about 4 hours and has the value added of pristine rural country views. They depart from both train stations in Bangkok; Hualamphong Station and Thonburi Station. The 2nd class ticket runs about 220 Baht and provides an air conditioned cart with comfortable seats. The journey is slow getting out of Bangkok, as you may expect, but once the train is on the country side it picks up speed. There is food and beverage service on the train. A word of advice... Be aware of pickpockets, watch you wallet and valuables.

In recent years a tourist trap has been growing at Hualamphong train station between the station's police and a travel agency located across the street; the officers will try to rush you there and make you purchase a first class sleeper car train ticket for 700 Baht, but honestly, it is not necessary to have a sleeper for a 4 hour ride, so excuse yourself then go back to the station and buy the class you want.

When you arrive at Hua Hin's train station spend some time walking around this beautiful historic building reminiscent of the 1920s in a Thai Victorian architectural style. You can also pick up a good city map in the rail station.
