It's a handsome map! 8) but probably has a few errors now. It popped up right near the top on a Google search for the road name/hua hin/blue bus/map. Pete :cheers:

Note: The map interactive capability still works as well. :D

She never said that to me although I was asking about times on Saturday. I took a photo of the timetable as I was unsure of which transportation method I was taking which I've posted below. There is a note saying the ones after 12 are Fri,Sun only.

Apologies for the confusion, I only posted it to assist as someone quoted buses go every 30 mins and I didn't want any members to be sat at the station for hours waiting for a bus that wasn't going to arrive ! :thumb:

I couldn't be bothered to rotate the hand written return times after shrinking it.

Thank you very much Pagey. When I saw the link on the Tourism Hua Hin site I was encouraged by the frequency, and thought I could use them. However, that new timetable has reduced considerably, and probably doesn't have the flexibility I need.

Having said that, is the latest time on the non-rotated timetable 22:30? That could be useful.

Is this perhaps a low season reduced timetable or do you think it’s in response to more people now using other routes to get to Bangers?

I think the nicer airport service and Sombat Tours service must have had a significant impact.

Not to mention how old and rattley the Pran Tours buses are.
