How to getting around Hua Hin

If Hua Hin is your next holiday destination, its best to know as much as you can about the place, even the modes of transport available. Smooth travel within the destination is essential if you are to cover all the places on your must-visit list. Here are a few pointers on the transport system in Hua Hin to help you plan out how to get to the attractions you are looking forward to visiting.

Shuttle service

If you are travelling with family, one of the best ways to get about your activities for the day would be to take the shuttle service from your hotel. Most shuttle services offer free rides to certain theme parks as well. Moreover, they make a stop at the most iconic locations in Hua Hin. If you are not sure of the particulars to obtain this service, simply ask the front desk at your Hua Hin villa to help you out.

Rent a scooter

As you may have already seen in videos and even blogs about Hua Hin, many couples opt for scooter rentals when exploring the city. They are cheap and easy to handle on the roads. This being said, there is still a risk involved with renting out scooters. To begin with, many customers have been scammed when it comes to bike damages and theft of vehicles. Not to mention, the number of daily motorcycle accidents in Thailand as a whole is nerve-racking! So, although it might be a preferred option, it is definitely not the recommended one.

Rent a car

Perfect for a couple and even a family, the car, on the other hand, is a mighty safe option for travel in Hua Hin. You can either rent out a car for a day or even for your entire stay in Hua Hin. This is also a cheap option. Travelling in a car will keep you away from the scorching heat of the day in the luxury of a/c and a comfortable seat to relax in. Check on the license requirements you’ll need so you’ll have the necessary documents ready when you go to rent your car.

Taxi travel in Hua Hin

Taxis in Hua Hin are not equipped with meters but are ever obliging to take you to your destination. Nevertheless, you should be ready to bargain for a good price before to get in and start your journey as in Hua Hin, its more like a private car service than a taxi service. You’ll find cars parked by malls and popular attractions, waiting for a flip of your hand to offer a ride. This would be the ideal option if you are travelling at night from your destination to your hotel when buses and other options like the MRT are not available and you need to get to your hotel for the night the likes of Avani+ Hua Hin Resort.

Tuk-tuks for a fun ride

One of the most unique ways to travel in Hua Hin would be the tuk-tuks that are abundantly available on the roads as well. This is a fun way to travel in the city. The vehicles come in all colours and the inside may even be decorated. What’s more, the music is so loud in the tuk-tuks most of the time that you’ll feel as though you are in a moving discotheque.

Take the bus

The best thing about the bus is that it stops at several popular spots in Hua Hin. It is also one of the cheapest ways of travelling in the city. A few places which you can visit easily using the bus are Bluport, the Clock Tower and Market Village.
