Bus to Hua-Hin

Recently I went to visit my family in Pakistan and We also had the plan for Songkran festival in Thailand. So we need to find the way to get to Hua Hin as soon as we landed to Suwannaphumi Airport.

And because I do have a small child so I was looking for the comfortable transporting
in acceptable price .

Finally we've found a bus service company website where we can do booking through the website and pay by credit card. Which we don't have to take any risk if we may missed the bus.

http://www.airporthuahinbus.com/  This is english website, There are 2 routes Bangkok - Hua Hin,
And Bangkok - Pattaya. Very easy to do booking and you'll get the  booking confirmation through your email or mobile phone, The bus station is on the 1st floor at passenger terminal ( same floor where the taxi service is but the ticket counter is at the door number 8 ).

At the counter on the 1st floor you show staff the confirmation code that you got on mobile and they'll print out the ticket for you. The staff will announce for the bus number (It's shown on ticket) in english to let you know that bus is about to leave. (You gotta spend almost 20 minutes in immigration and for walking the whole way to the bus station so please consider that when you do booking and sometime the flight also delayed).

Inside the bus there are 24 seats only you can chose a single seat or couple seat.

The bus depart in time ( So if your flight is delayed you should call them at the counter and ask them to wait for you they'd wait for 15 minutes maximum as last time we were waiting for one more passenger who called that she was on her way ). There are two staff to serve you on the bus.
 It's kinda VIP with very big seats.

I recommend this bus company to my friends and they all love it.

Countdown 2013 @ Ibis bangkok riverside.

This coming New Year we plan to stay in bangkok,  better than going out of bangkok to fight with traffic and lots of people who also want to go out of bangkok on New year. And bangkok isn't a bad choice after all.

Again the Accor member card give me benefit for advance booking and discount including upgraded to a Family room with big bed in queen size plus bunk bed for the kids. (My small brother & my baby)

They have the party for new year countdown  also it's kinda interesting because as a member we can book the dining table in very cheaper rate & in my opinion I prefer food at Ibis hotel than going out and  wait for the luck  if you might get the seat in a restaurant.

Ibis hotel bangkok river side is on Chareon nakorn road. Inside Chareon nakorn number 17
There's 7eleven minimart at the corner. ( Notice point )

This road is crowded by restaurants and mini shops where you can get whatever you need.
Easy to get taxi or tuk tuk and very  near to the BTS station
 ( Hotel have mini bus service to BTS station too )

Near by hotel there's a ferry port where you can take the ferry to Asiatique the river front shopping place. It's amazing place to take snap and do shopping at the same time.


















Ibis Hotel @Hua hin

IBIS HOTEL 3 stars hotel in Accor group as a member I've got a little benefit and I always booked the room through accor website on promotion periods which is easy and really fast. And it's definitely worth the price.

A small hotel near Takiab Mountain. With acceptable size of pool. Nice buffet breakfast and friendly staff. Especially when I can use the member card for more discount at the bar and restaurant.

Amara resort & spa @Hua Hin

Amara resort is the new renovated resort which designed by the owner. I do love the Bali style of the pool also the Jacuzzi in deluxe rooms and the owner is very friendly. Make us feel like staying at home.

We visit here few times in a year as this resort is one of our favorite place to stay during Hua Hin trip.

Amara resort is in  Hua Hin soi 94, a bit deep inside, so uncomfortable if you had a lot of luggages and  no car.

But you can get the taxi tuk tuk (near bus station) ask them to drop you inside soi Hua  Hin 94.
It costs 200 baht. (Try once to make it cheaper because it isn't really far from the night market).

The deluxe room with jacuzzi is 2,000 baht. ( Advance booking is recommended ).
This price is included american breakfast for 2 person.



Parking and see through the golf course.







The big swing near dining area. 
The pool near the dining area.
 ( They have a small library where you can borrow CD and sit on computer )
The resort has Wifi.

Alisha @ the golf course


4th Anniversary @ Springfield village golf & spa


 Jacuzzi for every type of rooms

So peaceful embraced by natures

Perfectly Facilities & Cable TV


Big pool with slide

A Lovely Big Swing On balcony


This hotel is a bit far from Hua Hin but very near to Cha am beach.
The facilities is nice and staffs are helpful and very friendly.
I love the jacuzzi and the big pool with slide.
This hotel is embraced with mountain where you can see the lovely fog in the morning on balcony.
Foods are tasty and the hotel paid a lot of attention on the guests they served you for whatever you asked and sometime you don't even need to.



But this hotel is a bit far from the main road and you need the car to get to the hotel.
It isn't so near to any floating market but still you can find it easily from  signs board.
