KL to Huahin
KL to Huahin
Im sure some of you more experianced travellers can help me on this.
As we all know the probs at BKK airport ( my ticket was for 7th Dec arriving BKK on the 8th) it does not look like this date is possible now.
The other option is to fly to KL. then either by train (48hrs) or airasia.
On there website flights are available on the 10 Dec but at 12.20 midday
as i wont be landing in KL until around 1200midday there is no way i can make this flight.
I dont realy want to be lugging suitcases around with me while trying to catch trains etc.
Also if i go Airasia KL to Krabi the price of the flight is 2,270 baht if i get ticket online. not sure if price is the same if i pay cash.
I will still have to get train or bus from Krabi to huahin. not sure of this.
Any suggestions or ideas please?
Would be appreciated.

Train from KL to Hua Hin is approx 22 hours not 48
A pleasant journey, well worth the experience if you get KTMB 1st Class and then SRT 2nd Class sleeper - change at Bukit Mertajam or Butterworth.
Due to this 5hite at Swampypoom am travelling to Phuket today by car - onto Singapore and then to an important business meeting in Doha Thursday.

I'm in a similar situation to Steve/m. Arriving 8th. Ethiad gave me a choice of KL or S/pore. I guess KL & on to Phuket is the logical move. I think Bangkok Air is only doing the Samui /HH run for two days. 1 & 2 Dec..
BaaBaa: Are you getting the bus from Phuket to HH.? Have you or has anyone any info on the duration of the bus trip. Doc

There are also air asia flights to Chiang Mai and there is now a VIP bus service from Chiang Mai to Hua Hin
There are details regarding where they operate from etc here
[ Link removed, no competing websites, please post the info ]
May be a better alternative as probably not so many people flying to Chiang Mai as to Phuket/Krabi
If you have a debit card that also acts as a Visa/Mastercard as well, as long as you have funds in your original bank account you can use to pay online like a normal credit card.cant pay for any tickets in advance because i dont have credit card,only Debit.

Always Borrow Money from a Pesimist. "They Never Expect it Back"
problem with the train is that for the last 2 days it hasnt got past Butterworth because of severe flooding in Hat Yai. According to the timetable i have seen it is 33 hours.
Other problem (if that isnt enough) is that it appears heavily booked,
If you land at KL at 12pm on a thursday or a sunday , then your best route is :-
1. Get in a taxi and go to Sebang. That is KL's old main airport, and now its second airport.
2. Get the 16.45 plane using Berjaya Air to Phuket. about 5,000 baht. they still have space for this sunday.
Then get bus to HH or
3. Get the 19.30 from Phuket to Samui. less than 2,000 baht.
4. Get the new service from Samui to HH. 4 times a day, but dunno how much.
The only problem with this is that Bangkok air are not guaranteeing how long the samui > HH service is running for
Firefly, malaysia airlines low cost carrier, also fly from Sebang to Phuket
