There are all manner of local taxis available to get around between Hua Hin, Cha-Am and Pranburi, and they’re cheap! Once you are in the towns themselves, the best and most trusted way to explore is on foot – especially in Hua Hin, which is more compact. Cha-Am and Pranburi are more spread out, and some of the major resorts are located on isolated stretches of beach. Negotiating these areas is usually accomplished by tuk-tuk, Van, motorbike taxis, samlor, three-wheeled rickshaws, ‘songthaew’ (pick-up trucks with benches in the back), and a few meter-less taxis. Be sure to negotiate your fare before hopping on board. (Read more...) |
