StepByStep nature makes this video a standout for 1st time expat. Thanks.

[@RetiringToAsia]

Thanks. I'm a simple guy. 😂

[@atoc.8pawns]

Let's hope he keeps going. I heard ATM fees are crazy. So, newbies have to carry thousands in cash.

[@RetiringToAsia]

@atoc.8pawns ATM fees can be high. Luckily things here are cheap so you carry thousands of baht, which isn't a lot. There's a link in the description for Wise. It's an easy way to transfer money internationally and they have a debit card you can use here. There are also a number of bank/brokerage accounts that will reimburse your ATM fees. Check into those in your home country. It may be worth it to open an account at one of them for your travel expenses.

Great video, well organized and well spoken. Glad to have found your channel and look forward to many more.

Awesome, thank you!

Great video, very informative! I will keep watching your videos from Hua Hin, my favorite destination in Thailand.

Nice good information thank you

[@manosparavida3551]

Yet to visit Hua Hin after (in fits and starts) 17+ years of visiting Thailand. I think the next visit will include at least 2 weeks there. I must add that I hear that accomodation is good value tgere, however I wasn't entirely enthralled with your apartment @ $25 a night. Or unless there was a pool on site as well? Looking forward to your next upload.

[@RetiringToAsia]

There is a small pool there but I didn't show it. I'm planning a longer video about the building to include their monthly & yearly rates

[@TORXGAMING]

no one tell the bus driver to put down the air con if it s too cold ? so crazy to hear that every time...

[@marcp108]

Hey good video - Ive done the bus, mini van and car/taxi. Bus is pretty good. I think last departure time is like 6.00pm so it doesn't always work out with my 4.30 arrival flight from Sydney. Means I need to get a taxi or stay in BKK overnight and then head down in the morning. Good tip on the B1000 - that's where everyone changes their larger notes. I always go to Ban Khun Por with friends cheap and good food, also cheap beer (usually Chang) delivered to your table.

[@RetiringToAsia]

Thanks for sharing

[@bijanbayne3259]

Caught it many X. Hua Hin's my fave

[@user-bs4vb8vh6m]

I miss Hua Hin city 🤗😊🫰❤️🎉🎊

[@Darryl_Smith]

Thanks for the guidance on the website, I thought I was looking at the wrong one when doing research last week for upcoming trip. The price to get this bus is very reasonable as you say which opens up my travel options greatly. Great resource at the website: From Suvarnabhumi airport to Hua Hin 325 Pattaya to Hua Hin 473 Beats the taxi price - (even though that is door to door) - I have loads of time now so no biggie!

[@bettyjunemann3660]

Wow, thanks, I was wondering while watching the video if I could go straight from Pattaya to Hua Hin and you answered that question. Thanks!

[@RetiringToAsia]

Glad you found it useful

[@RetiringToAsia]

Yes, and there are other bus/van lines going Pattaya/Hua Hin as well.

[@georgeandy6923]

Another Great Video, and thanks for all of the Pro Tips, as they are Very Informative! Does the Bus have a bathroom on it, like Greyhound buses in the US??

[@RetiringToAsia]

Thanks for watching. Yes it does.

[@georgeandy6923]

@@RetiringToAsia That's Awesome!!

[@roygoad2870]

The bus is probably easier, but you can also get a train on the new train route, just get the airport train link and transfer to the brand new train station Bang Sue in Bangkok, very cheap as well

[@RetiringToAsia]

Ah Roy you're stealing my thunder. Train video coming soon. 😉

What's your favorite activity in Hua Hin?

[@mgm.2174]

Hello 👋🏻 thanks for the Info about the bus, I have been there before by train, nice and authentic experience 😂 what is the name of the accommodation ? Is it a condo ? Thanks

[@RetiringToAsia]

Maleesa Place. Not a condo. It's a serviced apartment.

[@mgm.2174]

@@RetiringToAsia thank you very very much for the answer 🙏🏻

[@mikerobinson2201]

Hi, thanks i will do this when i am in bangkok in August. I was disappointed about no pic of inside bus. Is bus nice inside? Thank You much

[@RetiringToAsia]

Yes

[@jeffm7294]

Does that bus also drop off at Cha Am? Thanks

[@RetiringToAsia]

The driver's assistant shouted "Cha Am" but the bus didn't even slow down. Maybe others who've ridden more often can say for sure. Little help here RTA viewers?

[@stallionjr2009]

How much is the bus ticket from Pattaya to Hua Hin ?

[@RetiringToAsia]

325 but as I mentioned, there's a small additional fee for booking online.

[@stallionjr2009]

@@RetiringToAsia Thank you for your response. I must have missed that part. I'll watch it again. Thanks for the video. Keep up the great work. 👍

[@manosparavida3551]

The bus to Pattaya is only about B146 or 190 to Jomtien. They're a bit of a hoodwink to Pattaya, as they drop off at the beginning of Pattaya Klang, which involves a motorcycle taxi to central Pattaya (B50-80ish) So go to Jomtien and get back to Pattaya via two baht buses maximum. I've tried waiting for baht buses after the initial drop off point, but I think they don't exist or have a long turnaround time.

[@dirkgoossens141]

😊 Thank You For The Beautiful video😊

You're welcome. Thanks for watching.

Good morning. Will you still be there in September? I'd like to meet up over coffee. I have some questions about content. If you don't mind

[@RetiringToAsia]

I'll be in Thailand but Hua Hin was a side trip. My email is in the description if you would like to connect that way.
