Im going to Bangkok in late Oct this year, and will take the train to Hua Hin or Jumtien to stay for a few months. I'm going to move there with no end in sight, Thank you for all your help
hua hin is a great place to visit . its cheaper than Pattaya and better for relaxing holiday. There are a lot of great seafood restaurants like Chaouw lay. kee up this amazing vlog that you make ... you are in my top 3 vloggers list together wit KEIS ONE , JUST DAN , And you ROB ..PROJECT BANGKOK..❤❤❤
Rob I have done this trip so many times before the previous railway station closed. The new one is just too far. I always too the third class carriage and paid B44. Departure time suited me as I would be in Hua Hin by 2.00pm. The return trip is not so good. Always took longer and the train was really packed. Loved all the food vendors jumping on and off.
Thank you for your tips On Hua Hin! I've never been to Bangkok before and I am planning to go straight from Bangkok to Hua hin so thank yiu for yiur help!!
2019 my first visit to Thailand....HUA hin. In my heart forever. Will come back with my Khmer Lady for sure! I was there in high season, december. Loved it so much
44 baht to go to the beach in 4 hours … That’s a winner in my eyes . Hua Hin is very popular with expats and you will see why . Close enough but also far enough from the exciting city of Bangkok. Looking forward to seeing you in the next episode with the night life 💃🏻 . Peace ✌️
You mentioned Agoda, we have used them for years now, one time I clicked the wrong button, booked a room I didnt need, no problem, they gave me a credit I used next time, very pleased with their service.
Rob, from the Bangkok airport what the best/easiest way to get to your inexpensive Bang Sue Train station? nine bucks...I luv it. I will be carrying two suitcases and a backpack. Can you get to the less expensive train without crossing all the tracks? Thanks for any advice. I'll be there on the 26th.
@@ProjectBangkok yea I agree, I'd rather do a train. so that's why I was so happy to see this vdo lol I just watched a vdo where a girl went from Bangkok to Singapore on the train! mental! lol
@@TommyDJr45 Bro I saw that video but she didn't have English subtitles.. I asked her to add them though haha great minds think alike! I got the bus back to Bangkok and it took 5 hours.. I should have got the train back as well
@@ProjectBangkok haha great minds! Yea I'm def going to take the train soon. Seems like a better way to travel experience wise. Thanks for the motivation.
Nice.. I did that little train trip in 2000. Thanks for the memories. I can't really give you any Hua Hin recommendations as I spent too much time in the Hare & Houds pub!
@@ProjectBangkok Dunno man. Could be. My memory of that trip is a bit fuzzy. I do, however, remember staying in a budget place next to the Hilton which was on a kind of mini pier. There was a little cluster of them. I could see the sea when I looked down the plughole of my sink! Fun times!!
If I recall properly there is also mini bus from victory monument going there in 2H30 at about 250 bahts but is was 10 years ago last time did the trip, need to check out if it's still like that
You are totally living my best life, Rob! I have never been to Hua Hin and can’t wait to get there once we move to Bangkok. Love your adventures and living vicariously through you for now ♥️
@@ProjectBangkokwe will move in April 2025. We will be back in Thailand at the end of the year for holidays but will obviously be looking at it through a different lens now we’ve made the decision to live over there. Hustling the $$ from now until 2025, baby!!! You are a wealth of knowledge in our preparation and thank you for all your hard work - the best!
great train ticket price hack. pretty funny you can ‘walk across the tracks’ as they say, and just but a much cheaper ticket for same route. Wonder if fhat’s a temp oversight on their part, and they tweak the price, or maybe just ensuring they still offer a good option to Thailands less well off citizens?
Glad you are exploring more of Thailand. I just returned from Malaysia. Direct flight 2 hours. Internal flight from Penang to Malacca would have been 6 pounds sterling if my wifi had not gone wonky and those tickets were gone. I spent 15 pound sterling. 50 minutes instead of 6 hours by coach.
Thats cheap, dirt cheap! Love Hua hin but haven't been back since Dec 2019, due to fears it's too quiet (it was quiet during high season PRE-COVID!). Without rain on a sunnier day, the beach is stunning. Been going there for years and will return this Christmas. Soi 88 has a massive food court with stage and live music, a great place. Interested to see how busy soi bintabaht is though?
Hey Rob. I've been really enjoying your videos. I plan on heading to Thailand and other areas in SE Asia in August/September for a year or even longer. I want to start a channel and make consistent videos every other day basically. Of all the videos I've watched recently, I like your editing style because it's simple yet effective and nicely done. I'm curious as to what editing program you use and if you use a laptop. Just wondering on what I should use. So many options now. Pretty sure I'm going the go pro 11 route. I've tried other cameras and I like the simplicity of a go pro for getting started at least. I used final cut pro in the past for my Thailand videos I have on my channel now, but looking for something a bit simplified to start this time.
Is it easy to live in Bangkok without a car? What are average utility costs in Regent Homes buildings? I'm currently paying about $1700 USD for my home - mortgage, taxes, and utilities, about 56,000 bhat. Bangkok seems very attractive as far as facilities, rent, and availability of shops and restaurants to make me think about moving. I'm retired on social security, and from what I learned from your videos I could live there very comfortably.
@@ProjectBangkok was so long ago I do not recall but the only bonus I can figure would be that you will arrive exactly where you want to be. and you can go to some restaurants on the way to eat proper food I guess but other then that 40 baht ticket to hua hin is unbeatable. :) also it is rather nice going by train. in Sweden at least it is possible to get some work done. but I think it would be a challenge on that Thai train.
@@CarnisChampion I had a full meal before the trip and some snacks.. so worked out nice snacking away while looking out the window. Took me about 5-10 to walk to hotel.. I could have got taxi there in 2min but I saw some cool spots on my walk lol win win for me
I am looking for the best place for me to live in Thailand. I like Bangkok but I also want other things. I want: - a beach - city/small city with lots of things to do and see. good services - the ability to ride my scooter - not too many tourists but OK enough that I as a non/poor Thai speaker can easily live - forrest/green - good transport links to the rest of Thailand and the rest of the world - great accommodation options So basically a very realist shopping list LOL
You will never get the convenience of Bangkok in any city in the world… I’m so use to it that it’s hard to accept anything less.. and when I make these videos it really helps me lifestyle. I can see how this place has a little piece of everything though
Got my first trip to Thailand booked up for later this year, I'll be travelling solo so I've really appreciated your videos. The only place I've been solo before is Japan, and I know Japan well enough that I've not had to do much research.
@@ProjectBangkok Your new subscriber should be named Li'l Sebastian, same as the poney from Parks and Recreation TV series! Best wishes from Adam and Romi! :)
i've been traveling to thailand for almost 40 years and i'm sure that thai people don't find it funny when rich westerners try to save money and ride on the trains that are intended for the non-privileged population. yes i know a youtube channel wants to be fed. I can afford 440 baht and don't have blisters on my butt after arrival.

I love Hua Hin. A definite feel on holiday vibe. Even for expats.
100% agree! It’s got beach town vibes for sure.. can even make a sand castle here!
Fantastic video Rob 👍
Thanks man I appreciate it
Thanks for telling us about the train coming out in December now you've told me what to do I will be doing it thank you very much
The 15th the new faster service starts 👍🏻 3 hours instead of 5
Nice info mate very welcome !!!!
heading here in may 2024... glad I found your video.. was wondering how Id get from Bangkok to Hua Hin.. train seems to be a viable option..
If I recall properly there is also mini bus from victory monument going there in 2H30 at about 250 bahts but is was 10 years ago last time did the trip, need to check out if it's still like that
Car takes at least 3+ hours haha what warp speed is this bus going?!!! Actually.. Iv been in a mini bus in Thailand.. makes sense 😂😂

Great vid!
Thanks Sam! Check it out when your here man!

Is that the only time slot to Hua Hin? What about the time to go back to Bang Sue Grand station?
Been in Thailand one week got covid already bummer man... Nice vid

Hi Rob! Does the more expensive air-conditioned train from Bang Sue station arrive at the same Hua Hin train station?
Good one Rob !
Thank you
You're welcome
Great video, very informative.
Thank you 🙏
I've been on the fence about a visit to Hua Hin. Great video. Let us know if there is a ferry Pattaya_Hua Hin.
Awww man I wish there was!!! I would 10000% take that.. I’ll check again and find out.. if there is then I’ll be on it for sure
@greggoes - the ferry between Hua Hin and Pattaya stopped operations permanently during Covid. You can only take a bus between the two cities.

You'd live very well on US$1.7k just watch the cost of health insurance as you age!
Do you recommend buying hotel reservations online, in advance, or just showing up at the hotel? They always ad on extra fees when you book online.
Thanks for the video! How was the swimming at the beach?
I didn’t end up swimming there! I had an emergency tooth extracted. It was such a shame
@@ProjectBangkok Damn! Dental emergencies suck big time! Of course it happens while traveling! Hope the extraction healed well! 🍻
Excellent ❤❤❤
Thank you 🙏

I agree 😁
Interesting, thanks
Thanks for watching ✌🏻

How to get to Bangkok from Hua Hin? Is there any direct train trip? I tried to check on internet and it is not a direct train trip
It’s the same on the the way back from what I understand by the train takes a little longer
