Hua Hin sits on the gulf’s western shore, across from Pattaya.
From Pattaya
The scenic route is the cross-gulf ferry (when operating), which avoids Bangkok’s traffic; otherwise it is a road trip via Bangkok (around 4–5 hours). Confirm current ferry services before relying on them.
From Bangkok
Frequent buses, minivans and trains run from Bangkok in about 3–4 hours; vans and private cars are quickest.
Getting around
Songthaews, tuk-tuks, taxis and scooters cover the town and beaches. The centre is walkable.
