12 super unique Hua Hin restaurants and cafes to chill in

Take a peek at these 12 unique hotels and resorts – there is something for everyone in and around Hua Hin!

We recommend double checking for the final prices before confirming your booking. All prices are reflected in Thai Baht and USD.

Getting to Hua Hin from Bangkok (Tap to expand)

How to get to Hua Hin from Bangkok:

1. Train – Head to Hualamphong Station (Bangkok’s main train station), for an adventurous 4 to 5 hour train ride down to Hua Hin. Rates go from USD$16 per trip.

2. Bus – Travelling via bus to Hua Hin takes around 3 hours, almost the same time it takes to travel by plane, and cheaper too from USD$5. Head down to Sai Tai Mai (Southern Bus Terminal Bangkok), and book a (comfortable and air-conditioned) ride with Hua Hin Pran Tour. Buses depart from 4am at 40-minute intervals.

3. Car (Not recommended for the inexperienced driver)

– We recommend renting a car in Bangkok for your time in Hua Hin. Simply load the directions on GPS (or Google Maps on your phone). The journey is relatively straightforward, and will take up to 3 hours. The best part? Having a car will make exploring Hua Hin and Petchaburi much easier!
– When renting a car, make sure to check your rental car thoroughly – from ensuring that everything is working fine, to when it was last serviced.
