What used to be a 5-hour journey from Bangkok to Hua Hin is now only 3 hours (on selected trains) because of the new dual track, so I thought I'd try it out to see how it goes.
We booked a ticket for the Bangkok-Surat Thani Sprinter Train #43, departing Bangsue Grand Station (Krungthep Apiwat Station) at 07.30 hrs., the scheduled arrival time in Hua Hin is 10.31 hrs. and the fare is Baht 330 per person.
The train was unfortunately delayed by 15 minutes, but I must say that everyone involved tries hard to keep the train on schedule, so praise goes to the SRT (State Railway of Thailand).
Hopefully with newer trains and the full completion of dual track, the journey will be reduced to 2 hours 30 minutes .... at least that's my dream.
