You are so right, I gave up the back pack years ago especially in the tropical heat. I live out of a carry on bag with a pair of shoes tied to it. When I fly I put the shoes on and there's no luggage carousel for me, I get off the plane and straight out of the airport. Take it from me folks, travel light you won't regret it

As you say, the people were so friendly.

Hi Jim, Morchit bus stn is still a taxi ride away to Bang Sue/Aphiwat (I hear they also have a shuttle, but enquire at Mocrhit). If taking the train as it's hot season now pls be certain to book 2cnd class A/C like I did or it'll be a very hot & uncomfortable journey (especially for a little one). Have a look at the SRT website to see the times and what's available: dticket.railway.co.th Select Krung Thep Aphiwat as the origin and Hua Hin as destination, then select 2cnd class A/C and seats (try to get 2 together). Sometimes I select Prachuap Khiri Khan as they may restrict short-distance 2ncd class seats/beds for longer journeys if seats/sleepers are booking up. If you can't get a 2cnd class a/c train it may make more sense to just take the mini-van. The Hua Hin hotel I stayed at is just a short stroll from the train station. Bus or train, have a great trip with your little one. STL
