If you took a bus from Chumphon to Hua Hin, you would have to go way out of town to the main Chumphon Bus Terminal (located 7 km from the centre of town, off the main highway), then take a Bangkok bound bus that actually goes in to Hua Hin (most use the bypass around the city).
The distance from Chumphon to Hua Hin travelling by train is 256 km.
