Rail
With the upgrading of the route between Bangkok and Hua Hin to dual track, rail is by far the most relaxed way to get to Hua Hin. Most of the trains from Bangkok to Hua Hin depart from Bangkok's Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Terminal (Bang Sue Grand Station); this station has trains 9 times daily, taking between 3 hours 01 min to 3hrs 42 min to cover the 200km distance. There are also two trains daily from Bangkok's Hua Lamphong station and two trains from Thonburi, but as these are deemed Ordinary services, they are not bookable online and must be purchased at a train station. These additional four services take around 4.5 hours to reach Hua Hin.

Air
Hua Hin's airport currently only services the Hua Hin - Chiang Mai - Hua Hin route, with four flights per week in either direction.
It wasn't that long ago that there was a route between Hua Hin and Udon Thani, as well as Hua Hin and Kuala Lumpur. With vast improvements already undertaken to the Hua Hin airport runways and infrastructure, and with more still in the pipeline, it is hoped that the airport with finally fulfill its potential.
