Hua Hin transportation and driving

Getting around Hua Hin is very easy. The best way to travel is either by motorbike taxi or by Tuk Tuk. Remember to negotiate the price before travelling. Alternatively you can hire a car or a motorbike. There are no metered taxis in town.

If you do hire a car or motorbike ensure that you have adequate insurance cover.

The Police in Hua Hin are very strict when it comes to enforcing the compulsory wearing of crash helmets – wear one if you want to avoid being stopped and fined, which could also include a trip to the Police Station.

In Thailand you drive on the left, but beware traffic turning left does not have to wait at junctions and tends to move out regardless of what is approaching. Also watch out for motorbikes driving on the wrong side of the road.
