BANGKOK TO HUA HIN BY RAILWAY THAILAND. GREAT EXPERIENCE
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 сен 2024
- Railway journey that took for ever ! From Bangkok to Hua Hin. What ever time they say, add another hour. this train never went faster than 40 miles an hour . Slowly through Bangkok, the trains stops at many Bangkok railways stations before head out into the Thailand countryside. Eventually after many many hours we arrived in a very dark Hua Hin Railway Station.
But i would say it was a great experience, and I would do it again.
there was pleanty of food and drink on offer during the journey, and it was all reasonably priced too. All in all, its an experience of Thailand.

Luxury! We missed our train and ended up taking the old diesel non airconditioned train to Hua Hin, it was crowded, no air cond, wooden seats and by the time we got to Hua Hin we had diesel hair :) But you know, it was a very memorable journey and Im kind of glad we missed our earlier train. Since then though, we always take a hire car to Hua Hin from Bangkok - much quicker and with a good company and good driver, relaxing.
I have watched a few of your videos and for the amount of time you are in Thailand your ability to pronounce names of places and other things is poor, the one thing you are good at is stating the obvious, this is a bar, this is a shop, this is where you sit and wait for the train, your not the only one who tries to be a tour guide and fails miserably
Superb love this, just going through some of your old vids Sir Geoff. Great stuff.
Thank you Mark. More to come this winter
@@geoffcarter yeah cracking matey, be great. Still can't believe Cheap Charlie's is no more. What's that all about eh! Try out the bootleg brothers microbrewery on Sukhumvit road next time. Great little place. Good food and drink fella. cheers
Nice video, Geoff. Can you get staff to fix your seat to lay out for a nap if only going to Hua Hin or was that only for folks going further south? Was the food good and/or can you bring your own on board?
Beds are only for night time travel, food was good, and yes you can take your own food on, but no alcohol.
You crack me up at the stuff you get yourself into. I laughed when you look around and everybody is going to bed on the 3.5 hour train ride but, you you. Your facial expressions are classic.
Thanks C.Y. to be fare it was 5 hours, and I got off at hua hin, they had another 12 hours to go ! lOl
Hi Geoff watching this video reminded me of my nightmare train trip to Chieng Mai by train.Never do that again love your videos.
Thanks for the video Geoff, going to Hua Hin tomorrow, you know what ill think ill just take a taxi 🚕 instead. Your knowledge has saved the day. Cheers.
How much will the taxi be
I got the taxi back from hua hin to Bangkok. It was 1200 baht, and took 3 and a half hours because of traffic in Bangkok.
GEOFF CARTER Wow, where did you find a taxi that would take you for 1200?
GEOFF CARTER I always have to pay around 2000 baht for Bangkok - Hua hin
you can take van taxi from Mochit terminal station cost only 180 Baht or from survanabuhmi by coach
Geoff why don’t you give Jurassic mountain resort in Hua Hin a days fishing, world record fish in there, everything is massive’ look on the website, you would get a good RUclips Vlog out of it I’m sure, and I know you like a bit of fishing for bigguns’ anyway good to see you back mate👍🏻
Wow, she did not have to check the computer for departure time. Here they don't fucking know what a cup of coffee cost unless they check the computer first.
We got an early train to hua hin and wasn't the Express and for 40 baht each it was definitely an experience
cheers Geoff, glad I watched this saved me a long boring train ride
Great video but at 5.5 hours I think I will just pay the extra money and take a taxi, thanks for the heads up Geoff.
That's Geoff, I will be staying in Thailand first for a couple of weeks and then off to Sihanoukville. I'm hoping to travel round to see where to put my feet up. Hope to meet you one day, keep the video's coming.
A couple of questions, do you get charged for using the ATM'S and when your out, are there toilets?
Always cheerful Geoff. Keep up the good work.
That’s classic….the Butterworth Shuttle….love it
Good stuff geoff
Glad you enjoyed it John
good vid geoff your like a manx version of wickers world ive watched Quite few of em now great stuff did you ever do one Bangkok- pattaya by train or flight
too rite about the trains ! in kanchanaburi ours was 100 mins late,and that was good going we were told 555
choo choo. it was fun tho
Hi Geoff off to Hau Hin next week with family, staying at Centara Grand, really like your videos. Best regards Andrew
I've done the overnight to Nong Khai for visa runs to Laos. 12 hours but did it twice and quickest was 14 hours. Add on that a trip from Pattaya to Bangkok and it becomes a long journey. This was 10 years ago doubt it has changed. I did discover the overnight bus from Pattaya which took 10 hours and you can upgrade to VIP which is much more comfortable. Highly recommend a trip to Laos.
Yes Pattaya101 I am thinking of a trip to Laos this trip if I can. Good advise. 😬👍
I forget the of the bus station but it's the one off Sukhumvit in Pattaya. Cost is about 700 baht each way for VIP bus, which is the normal coach but they have 6 seats in the lower deck. It will cost you no more than an extra £10 both ways to upgrade but well worth it. Departs in the evening and arrives in Nong Khai about 7am and then you get on another bus which takes you over Friendship Bridge. Very cheap as I remember in Laos and for £10 you'll be a multi millionaire and have a huge pile of notes to prove it. The locals are very friendly, several times they've befriended me in bars and taken me out with them and I've never had any problems. Certainly different than other surrounding countries I've visited and my favourite trip for visa runs. When you thinking of going back again Geoff?
Thailand's railway network is a little antiquated but it is currently under reconstruction. They've started on the new line which will cut Bangkok to Pattaya time to well less than an hour but not sure when it is due to be completed by. I remember the good ole days of Don Muang to Pattaya a 4 1/2 hour journey on top a 40 hour round trip flight with Areroflot. Nightmare journey's for a two week holiday in the promise land. Lol
Pattaya101 nmnmmmmmmmm
Geoff, I think I am a little bit in love with you! You have such great spirit, your vids are fab, Many Thanks, Diane
He's mine first love but he has to keep the hat on x
曼谷到华欣，可以坐火车，曼谷华南蓬火车站有火车到华欣，票价按照火车种类不同区别，快速的票价贵一点，慢的没空调的便宜点。
How about huahin to bangkok by train?
Hi j carter how long was the trip
Hi Geoff, I think when I move to Cambodia I am going to make some video's taking the p^ss out of you guys, you make me laugh, but in a nice way. What editing software do you use?
Best wishes
Chris
Hi Chris, it's just windows movie maker. Enjoy Cambodia.
for me it was the hottest train ride ever
LIKE THAT TRAIN WASHING GEOFF . THAT ONE COACH NEEDED A PAINT JOB ..BUT THE REST LOOKED GOOD , CHEAP FOOD ON THERE AS WELL , BED INCLUDED ..COULD SAY B& B GOOD JOB YOU DID NOT GET THE SLOW TRAIN TO !!! BRITISH RAIL USED TO BE AS BAD ..
***** imagine that going round your layout, it would take a week to do the full circuit . hahahha
Bet the second class car was nice and cold once you got underway. On the trip to CM I noticed that the second class cars were like iceboxes!
How very true Oscar, I was feeling to cold towards the end of my journey. well spotted !
Hey Geoff, do you know if the boat from Hua Hin to Pattaya still runs ?
Last time I enquired it had been cancelled. I wanted to catch it, but was told not enough people were using it, so they stopped it. I had to go on the bus to Hua hin, then on from there.m
***** yes it was supposed to be on from 7th january. 1200 baht one way. Now they are saying the pier at Bali hai is not up to standard safety wise ? So your guess is as good as mine ?
Running again now
How many hours BKK to Hua Hun?
+Sim Card depending on which train, if you take the old diesel, it is like 6 hours.. do not take that one ! 5555
Lovely country and it's people..Great job filming..Geoff! I felt I was taking the trip with you! Cheese and cucumber sarni for £5 quid if your lucky in the UK! I've never seen trains jet washed here mate, and we call Thailand 3rd world!..giveover!
jUST A TIP as advised by real train ticket staff inside the' tickets for foreigners office'. Recently,The girls inside the HUALAMPHONG ticket office told me NOT to listen to any unoffical tour office people who wear a badge and card at the entrance because they are pulling tourists across the road to their own private agency office and charging them a lot more for the same train tickets! They told me they still have to buy the tickets from them but charge commision. Do it yourself -buy the tickets inside the station. You have all been warned!
How much was the ticket cost?
Hi Geoff, thanks for the vids you make, I enjoy watching them, doing the bkk to hua hin today, 23/1/16. Same time 14.45, do you live in Thailand, just making vids, if so great life. Take care mate.Geoff Bailey, Berkshire, uk
Great stuff Geoff, best travel vids on RUclips..so good to hear a real English voice, l used to spend 2-3 months a year in Mukdahan but old and `creaky` now ( me l mean not the train ) keep smiling mate.. cheers
Great Fun! I got the overnight to Chiang Mai and we got there about 8 hours late having spend much of the night standing still. Hua Hin is very smart. I went to HH by bus 9 years ago, so I might get the train this time. A good video so thanks and yes I know it is not up-to-date heehee
It looks like your window was nice and clean. I've been on several Thai trains that have 'tinting' on the windows which makes it impossible to take decent pictures. For shorter trips the 3rd class are the seats have the windows that come down and are great for taking pictures. Thanks, nice video.
Sorry geoff watched the second vid first lol
5555 hahahahha
i tried the train but i thought the views were very dondescript.Now i take the bell travel bus from suvanrbahumi and i enjoy it alot more.usually on way back i take one to mochit.I have just found out however that the bus now only runs to hua hin airport and not the bus station so not sure how available the green song teuw is to airport.
Thanks so much for this u have made my decision much easier..Duo the experience would have been fun it's FAR too slow for me thanks
I've been on the Bangkok to Chiangmai run a couple of times,got to watch out for derailments,during rainy season.
very good.nice vid you can put it down to experience Geoff I will try the same journey next time am in Thailand.
love the videos, I'm doing the train trip from Bangkok to Hua Hin in February so very helpful

Geoff, you must have the constitution of an Ox, do you ever get Ghandi's revenge?
Geoff you are a true legend , love watching you're amazing adventure and your videos have given me the confidence to travel to Thailand , keep up the good work mate !
Train to Hua HIn is a great adventure if you have the time! Dont come back to Bkk on a Sunday arvo though!
Hi Geoff, thanks for the video. Looking forward to making this journey soon. Did you get the ticket in advance or is it ok to pay on the day at the station mate?

Thanks for the insight of your train travel but what did it cost you for the trip ?

Really like your videos and your style. Keep going.
Please dont say "wuaa" hin.

Good video. Pronounced Whooa Hin not Wa Hin though.
What does it cost to take the train versus one of the vans that make the same trip?
Thanks Geoff! I appreciate the time and energy it takes to make these videos.

Hi mate how much for train fair and do you have to book in advance cheers
Can't remember brad? Slept since then. It wasn't expensive. I always book in advance just incase, but think you should be ok just turning up ? My train was virtually empty
Brilliant Geoff - seemed like a bit of a trek but the beds looked ok ! 🙏
do you know what, altho it was 5 hours it was good. nice and relaxed, lots of different food off the vendors. and cheap as chips. :O)
good flim
Like it!

No airport at Hue Hin unfortunately. Good video as always. Big Thumbs-up 👍
My mistake it seem to have a small airport.
johnnypocketrocket Airport is only for the Royal family and military
Thanks Geoff going to give this a go next time
It was quite a nice trip, don't think it went faster than 40 miles an hour hahaha

Great video Geoff nice one .

Geoff
So would you take an a.c bus next time or stick with the train again?
Train was fine ?
Sorry about that. I will be more specific. Next time to hua hin would you take the train again?
