Prachuabkirikhan - every 20 mins starting at 06.30 - 16.00 from the bus station. From 17.00 onwards, the busses leave either the bus station or the central Clock Tower (by Hua Hin Wat), on alternate days until 23.00. ie, Monday from the bus station, Tuesday from the Clock Tower.

Chumphon - departing every hour from 07.30 - 13.00. After 17.00, the same proceedure as above applies, the departure point alternating daily until 23.00. PRICE 160 Baht.
Surat Thani - busses depart hourly from 09.00 - 11.00. Thereafter, there are two departures at 23.00 and 24.00 from the bus station. PRICE 270 Baht.

It must be emphasised that timing is not always punctual, although departures rarely go before those listed above. Advance booking is not possible on these busses, but there are usually seats available when they reach Hua Hin in the mornings. With the later ones, or those at weekends or Public Holidays, you really do take your chances. It's a great, cheap way to travel but, if you're on a deadline, it might be worth paying some extra and taking a VIP bus and booking in advance. The VIP advance booking office is open at the bus station from 08.00-15.00.
For further information call 032 511230. (Very little English is spoken).
