VIP Bus service from Bangkok to Cha-Am and Hua Hin and V.V

Air - conditioned Buses from Bangkok�s Southern Bus Terminal on Pinklao - Nakhon Chaisi Road (in Thonburi) run every 40 minutes. Contact numbers are : ( 00 66 2 ) 435-5032, 435-5097, 4357455.

Returning buses from Hua Hin to Bangkok also leave half hourly. Non-air-conditioned coaches leave from Bangkok's Southern Bus terminal on Petchkasem Road daily. This is the cheapest, but not the most comfortable way to go!

Tuk-tuks, small mini-vans, are a common mode of transport. These like the rest of the public transport in the area, can be hailed anywhere along a particular route. Within the city fares vary but are never more than a few Baht and generally there is a set price from one point to another. Outside the town, the price is negotiable and it�s a good idea to agree on the fare before you climb in.

Motorcycle taxis are everywhere. Easy to find, they hang around most of the busier intersections and along most roadsides in the area. Again it is wise to sort out the price before departure.

Car and jeep rental is reasonably priced and readily available. It is one of the best ways to see the area. Check that the vehicle you are hiring is covered by insurance. Unless hiring from a reliable source you may find it isn�t and as it is the driver�s responsibility to pay all damages if there�s an accident, you may be in for a nasty surprise.

Motorbike rental shops are easy to find and the bikes cheap to hire. Insurance cover is not available for motorcycles and any damages incurred along with medical bills are your responsibility. Renting a bike in Hua Hin or Cha Am may cost you your life rather than a few Baht though as the accident rate in Thailand is EXTREME to say the least!
