✈ Transport Options from Suvarnabhumi Bangkok Airport to Hua Hin

Hua Hin is a beautiful seaside resort, located just under 200 Km away from Bangkok in the Thai province of Prachuap Khiri Khan. It was once known as a quiet fishing village but grew into a popular seaside escape for residents of Bangkok when the Thai royal family decided to build their summer palaces in the 1920s. Today, it is known for its water sports, seafood restaurants and high-end hotels.
