On the cheaper third-class train that you did not take I am absolutely sure you would have been comfortable I need air conditioning as well but one time I got stuck having to take the third class train and I was very very pleasantly surprised because all the windows are down in this train you got so much Breeze it's very very comfortable I think you would have been pleasantly surprised

[@KristyandSteve]

Oh thats good to know! Its also very helpful to those reading these comments to be assured the non air-con is still comfortable. Im going to pin your comment. Thanks for the info!

[@Roof_Pizza]

Yeah, no.

[@juanmc811]

Totally agree. I've made a couple long trips in 3rd. class, windows fully open, no freezing a/c, beautiful landscapes and... Just relax, enjoy and experience real Thailand!

[@MattGreenfield]

I was gonna say. The third class carriages are actually preferable to the aircon ones. Cool breeze coming in the open windows. I always go by third class, unless it's an overnight sleeper.

[@timrhind]

100 percent agree and the local feel atmosphere was great. From a Canadian. BKK to Cha-Am

[@PaulbunionBunion-vb5xs]

Another great video guys!!...Thanks

[@KristyandSteve]

Heya Paul. Thank you so much, we are glad you liked it - was a rollercoaster to film thats for sure! ❤️

[@craxysunv.1620]

That is right. We always feel good in beach town. It is fantastic atmosphere and relax.

[@KristyandSteve]

Absolutely agree with you! ☺️

[@davidslowhand5172]

I've travelled on that 3rd class train (with a fully laden suitcase and rucksack) and had a wonderful journey. It was one of the most pleasant and charming experiences I've had (among many in Thailand) chatting to Thai's and making friends and tasting the different foods that where offered by vendors who boarded at stops along the route. I often reminisce about that journey and would advise anyone who is thinking about going to Hua Hin, or anywhere in Thailand for that matter, to give it a try if you have the time and would like to experience something of the 'real Thailand'. Anyway, enjoy your time in Hua Hin, I'm glad you made it safely, it's simply a nice seaside town with a lovely feel and I love it it here. The beaches a little further south really start getting better. I have no idea what your schedule is but there are quite few interesting places to explore around the area, may I recommend Sam Roi Yot a few kilometres south and allow a couple days to do it justice as it's a big national park.

[@KristyandSteve]

Hello David! Glad to hear you had a wonderful experience on the train. Honestly, if it were a little cooler, maybe not 41 degrees we would have just taken it to get to our destination quicker. Appreciate the suggestions and you taking the time to comment, thank you 🙏

[@davidslowhand5172]

@KristyandSteve I actually fully understand your decision, and in future for ease I would probably choose the fast train. But I wouldn't rule the alternative train out completely. Happy and safe travels. Just enjoyed watching your BKK videos, too.

[@KristyandSteve]

Thanks David, we appreciate that! ☺️

[@ApatheticNonbuynary]

4:22 not for now. Yes, but it had to, for Thailand's future Highspeed Rail ambition. There's one being built right now. If you go a little more North of Bangkok, into Pathum Thani province, you'll see many concrete pillars being erected for the train track. The station's built to future-proof every future Rail lines.

[@KristyandSteve]

Makes sense, thanks for the info! ☺️

[@BitcoinLadyBoy]

Yes, into my region first, the Northeast. It will open up Isan to so many opportunities. Very much looking forward to it.

[@T0WD]

The coconut pancake is called Baa Bin Muang (Purple). Made from purple sweet potato, coconut milk and sugar. It is a type of pancake that is cooked in a hot pan. The purple sweet potato gives the pancake a beautiful purple color and a slightly sweet and nutty flavor. While Baa Bin, the golden brown version, made from coconut milk, rice flour, and sugar. 😘

[@KristyandSteve]

Oohhh that makes sense! Thank you so much, appreciate this information- now we know what we are actually eating haha ☺️

Thank you so much! ❤️

[@zanyt13]

I'm like you guys, i love Bangkok, but as you said,Hua Hin is abit sleepy and slow paced, and a really nice place to go to if you want a little bit of everything. A place a can recommend to stay at is Fulay Guest House if you plan to extend your stay, or come back to Hua Hin. It is pretty close from where you're staying now, it is built on one of the piers and it is a really peaceful place

[@KristyandSteve]

Completely agree, its such a nice break from the hustle and bustle of Bangkok - although we absolutely love the city, Hua Hin was the perfect getaway! Thanks for the guest house recommendation, we'll keep in mind for next time ☺️

In the future, this station (Krung Thep Aphiwat Central Railway Station) use both distance and high-speed trains to cover every region in Thailand.

[@KristyandSteve]

Great idea!

[@coolzephyr1780]

Buses are your best option. They go between bus terminals and airports. Once at the Hua Hin terminal you transfer to a mini bus that takes you direct to your hotel. Happy travels

[@KristyandSteve]

Great tip! I didnt even look into the buses actually. Will keep in mind for next time, appreciate that!

[@martinyable]

Can you recommend a compnay that uses Coaches rather than mini busses ?

[@thastayapongsak4422]

The station is big and has 24 platforms. 12 on the second floor, 4 for north and northeast routes, 4 for southern routes, 4 for the commuter trains. The third floor is closed for now, but will be for eastern (underconstruction), northern, northeastern (underconstruction), and southern HSR.

[@KristyandSteve]

Ahhh ok thanks for this information. Its very grand isnt it!

[@chriswagg1354]

If you insist on Air Con you will have this problem, the non air con train is actually far more fun. Yes it stops everywhere but when it does you have street food vendors hop on selling you all kinds of great treats and it is a great cheap experience. I am fairly sure you can go from the old Thonburi Station too and I have never had to book while for the Air Con trains you definitely do have to book

[@KristyandSteve]

Hey Chris! Thanks for watching and for the info. Yes lesson definitely learnt regarding the need to pre-book the aircon train 😅

[@johnshores4745]

I've done the slow train its great windows down its pleasant and lots of vendors get on to keep you fed and watered , the price is also a big plus

[@KristyandSteve]

Yes it was very affordable! We would have taken the longer train if it wasnt 43 degrees 🥵

[@SamuelStevens-ff7wn]

[@Klockren9000]

I've ridden the non airconditioned carts a lot and they're fine as long as you dont get a seat in the sun at mid day 🤣. Train is a lot better now after they built a second track down to hua hin. before it could take up to 8hours and always delayed for hours.

[@KristyandSteve]

Yeah we would have just taken the non aircon train if it wasnt above 40 degrees and in the middle of the day 🥵 We felt we made the right decision and were able to enjoy a full day in Hua Hin when we arrived at 10:30am ☺️

[@jasperswarp]

Great video, in Hua Hin I recommend trying the food at the Osaka octopus stall in the night market (you can see it in the video)

The new train station in hua hin opened in mid-December. You have made an excellent choice to book a room at thipurai City Hotel. I have stayed there 2 times. You shall try to go to Mp restaurant, almost across the street from the hotel. Fantastic food and people there, say hi from me 😊😊😊 if you are into massage, then you shall go to Roayl thai massage, fantastic massage there. Say hi from me there also 5555. Enjoy your trip.

[@Roof_Pizza]

I also had issues with the train and took the 3rd class offering. Was miserable, took ages. I swear they slowed down for every cat they passed.

[@smileofasia-travel]

If you prioritized a budget-friendly transportation option or preferred air-conditioned travel, you could have simply headed straight to Ekkamai bus station. There, you'd find hourly departures of air-conditioned minivans to Hua Hin for just $6 each. Instead, opting for Grab taxis has likely cost you more than 500 baht and caused unnecessary frustration shuttling back and forth aimlessly. What a missed opportunity...

[@KristyandSteve]

Thank you for this information! We will keep in mind next time we travel to Hua Hin - very helpful, we appreciate it! 🙏

[@smileofasia-travel]

Can you get a bus to Kanchanaburi/Kwai from Ekkamai bus station? Thanks

[@deanopumpkin]

How much would a private transfer in a minivan cost from BKK to Hua Hin?

[@smileofasia-travel]

depends where your pickup point is. On average around 100 USD.

[@watahyahknow]

there busses going to hua hin too , think they leave from the airport and there two companies one a little more deluxe than the other , pretty regulairy and cheaper than a taxi or grab , according to the internet trip takes about 3.5 to 4 hours , does stop at only one spot in hua hin about the "new" train station , i think they where planning on high speed train links all the way to chiang mai , might even go further , not sure when it be finished , im kindah supprized there allready trains going to hua hin (likely old station there) hmmm correction that does look like thenew station

Hi Kristy & Steve. Glad you sorted out your rail dilemma. Stayed at The Centara Resort 5 years ago at Hua Hin the original Train Station apparently all modern station now. Kristy your comment that the station does not need to be this big - Oh! yes will in years to come accommodate Millions of Chinese they will eventually own Thailand & Myanmar. Its a pleasure to watch you both, may I ask if you are from Australia. I live on the Tweed Coast of Australia, and soon will be departing from BNE Airport to BKK Thailand to have a few months with my Fiancée then off to Australia to Wed.

Can I ask, if you are extending your stay by a month, what did you do about flights? When you got to Thailand did you have to show the airline or immigration your leaving flights or did you just tell them you were planning to extend your stay? Thank you 🙏

Hello! We did a 30 day VISA extension. We didnt have outgoing flights booked as we knew we were doing the extension. Didnt have to show anyone proof of outward flight , was a pretty simple and straightforward process. Thats not to say you wont be asked for proof of onward flight though, its a risk!

Might give the bus a go next time though, a lot of people are saying that is the way to go. Thanks for watching, Graham! ☺️

Lack of planning leads to this result. Been there, done that. Don't do it anymore.

[@KristyandSteve]

You live and learn hey! 😅

[@makiavelli6101]

@@KristyandSteve If one had many days to "play with" then hours don't matte when it comes to transport I find. Otherwise, lack of planning creates undue stress.

[@KristyandSteve]

Totally agree

[@makiavelli6101]

Yep. I've been on trips for months and gotten stuck out in the middle of the rice paddies at 0430 on a broken down bus and had no stress about it since I had nowhere to be for two months. Others on the bus, very stressed out about connecting transportation that very morning.

I know right! Crazy there are different people in this world who like different things! Dont be so small minded and judgmental, Kevin.

[@kevinstevens8910]

@KristyandSteve you are supposed to be on holiday Turn off you comments if you don't want people to actually make comments.

[@KristyandSteve]

Kevin, we are not on "holidays". We have been travelling full time for 2 years, we are simply living our day to day life. We also enjoy engaging with (most) people in our comments section, its nice to connect with people from around the world.

[@kevinstevens8910]

@KristyandSteve Jesus calm down I am sorry I did not resurch some ransom people vloging on tube Who have verry thin skins As I stated be fore if you don't want comments switch them off If your travelling is now your bussness I would suggest that you be nicer to your viewer's.

[@KristyandSteve]

We are very nice to our viewers if you read every single comment we have made in over 100 videos. I suggest you be nicer to strangers on the internet if you dont want to be called out in the future 😉 Have a nice day wherever you are in the world!

As a Canadian ex-pat retired and living in Hua Hin go 10+ years, I am delighted to watch your video for an "unusual" reason.... 🎉😊 Just as "Huawei" smart phones are pronounced "Wah Wei" ( and Not pronounced "Hoo -ah - Wei" ! ) the correct - local Thai pronunciation - of "Hua Hin" is "Wah -Hin" . Great to see that you folks, as videographers , have got the correct pronunciation for HuaHin dialed in correctly ! ❤ Kudo's to you both. You just would not believe all the videographers who continue to embarrass themselves to 1,000's of viewers by mis-pronouncing the very name of the main subject in their video! Totally amateurish on their part and enough to make me hit the "good bye" button and not waste any more of my time watching their ( clearly poorly researched) content. If they can not get even this simple issue correct right out of the gate, then what sort of "Credibility" can any viewer possibly put on anything else they pretend to inform us about?

[@KristyandSteve]

Appreciate that, David! Thank you 🙏☺️ You're lucky to live in such a beautiful part of Thailand , we love Hua Hin!

Would have liked to know where larger luggage is stored on the train, or if it has to be checked, then picked up someplace. That's kind of an important detail for an older traveller like me. Gave you an upvote anyway...

[@KristyandSteve]

Hello! That is a valid question. So as you board the train, there are compartments for larger suitcases near the entrance doors. The overheard storage is quite big though, Steve carries a 25kg suitcase and his fit fine in the overhead. There is no option to check luggage as far as we are aware. Thank you for watching! ☺️

[@alltogethernow121]

@@KristyandSteve Thanks, that's very helpful, as I plan to take the train from BKK to Hua Hin next month. Peace

[@KristyandSteve]

Enjoy Hua Hin!

[@Kazi_Ashiqul_Haque]

It seems so fascinating ,I think you should improve your video title, tags , add end screen, shared it in various social media platforms and most importantly add more ranking tags on video tag section.Then your videos can easily reach out to your lovely audience....🤍🤍🤍And All the best for your journey on youtube...!!!

[@KristyandSteve]

Thank you 😊
