How to take Mini Van to Hua Hin?
I found a lot of traffic guide articles on the Internet about "Life of Aitai VIP" on the Internet. On the day of going to Hua Hin, I still ask the counter staff of Hotel Muse to help let the taxi driver take us to the scene to take the Mini Van. In fact, it is ok to take the BTS with luggage in the two major towns, because the ticket office is not far from the exit.Next, I will teach you how to get to Hua Hin step by step!
2016.11.01 Update note: In October 2016, the Mini Van boarding location of the Victory Monument has been moved to three bus stops. You can take a bus or shuttle to the Victory Monument. It is recommended to call a taxi directly from the hotel. .
- Sai Dai Mai South Bus Terminal (Southern Bus Terminal): Hua Hin, Cha-am, Amphawa, Kanchanaburi.
- Ekamai East Bus Terminal (Eastern Bus Terminal): Pattaya, Samet, Chonburi, Rayong.
- Mochit North Bus Terminal: Ayutthaya, Sukhothai, Chiang Mai, Chiang Rai.

Step.3 Walk down and you will see Century The Movie Plaza.
▲ You will see many white Mini Vans.
Step.4 Here is the Mini Van and ticket office.
Supplementary note: If you come here by taxi, usually the driver will drop you off in this building.
Just walk straight to the left and back in the photo, about 3-5 minutes, and you will see Century The Movie Plaza.
▲ Find the sign at the doorway above, and you will see the ticket office at the back on the left.
▲ There will be many Mini Vans parked here, as long as the car is full, you can leave at any time.
Step.5 Tickets purchased at the Mini Van ticket office are marked with English place names and prices.
▲ 前往華欣每位乘客票價為180泰銖(THB)，另發車時間為5:00~20:00。
▲ Since Mini Vans are all passenger seats, if you have large luggage, you also need to buy a ticket. (Take me as an example, one ticket for two luggages)
Step.6 You can get on the car if you have a place.
▲ Before getting on the bus, remember to make sure that your luggage is followed by the bus.
Step.7 Let's go!
▲ The legendary car is driving fast, and it takes about 2.5 to 3 hours to reach Hua Hin.
The terminal of Step.8 Mini Van is Petchakasem Rd. 57 Lane. (The red arrow in the photo marks the position)
▲ The driver's eldest brother will drop the passengers in this spectacles row.The ATM at the red arrow at the back right of the photo is the ticket office and bus stop.
▲ In other words, after getting off the bus, walk to the side of the glasses shop and see the ATM. This is where you can buy the ticket and boarding point for the Mini Van from Hua Hin back to Bangkok.
▲ It is recommended that you contact the hotel first and tell you what time you will arrive in Hua Hin, and ask him to pick up people in front of the glasses shop in Petchakasem Rd. 57 Lane.
————————————– The following is the transportation guide from Hua Hin back to Bangkok————————————–
Step1. In the morning, ask the hotel to inform the Shuangtiao taxi that you go to the ticket office at Petchakasem Rd. 57.
Step.2 華欣Mini Van發車時間為4：00~19：30，票價仍為180泰銖(THB)/人。
▲ But!There are three terminals for the return journey, namely:
1. Rama II Road (Rama II): Located on the left bank of the Chao Phraya River, belonging to the old Bangkok area
2. Victory Monument Station
3. North Terminal: Located in the north of downtown Bangkok
So please be sure to tell the driver where you want to get off!
Step.3 Ready to go!
Step.4 is about to arrive in downtown Bangkok.
※ Precautions:
- Pick a good position when you get on the bus. If there are friends in the bus, please don't sit next to them! (As mentioned above, the driver's eldest brother drove very fast. Everyone knows that children are actually very prone to motion sickness. When returning home, my husband was thrown up by the kid next to him. It was really *&^%$$#@)
- The driver will drop passengers off the bus along the way. Take Hua Hin as an example. If you pass your hotel before arriving at the terminal, such as the Sheraton Hotel, you can ask the driver in advance and ask him to let you get off at the door instead of going back.
- Mini Van business competition, there will be double cars to take guests to non-designated boarding places.When we returned to Bangkok, the driver of the Shuangtiao bus actually took us to another Mini Van operator and earned an agency fee of 100 yuan. In addition, it was the first time that we boarded, so we had to buy tickets and get on the bus foolishly. I also returned to Bangkok smoothly. If you still want to go back to the Mini Van introduced in my article to buy tickets, please remember to ask the hotel staff to make it clear!
- It is most convenient to get off at Victory Monument on the return journey.Due to the smell of vomit in the car, the driver did not intend to stop at the Victory Monument station and rushed to the North Terminal. As a result, it cost us about 300 baht (THB) from here to reach the hotel.
After getting the transportation from Bangkok to Hua Hin, the next step is to plan and arrange the itinerary and hotel accommodation in Hua Hin!
