Alternative ways to get from Bangkok to Hua Hin:
The train is not the fastest way to travel, so if you want to get to the beach quickly, you can choose to take either a minivan or bus from the southern bus terminal in Bangkok.
You can also find minivans departing from other bus terminal around the city or from the Khao San Road area.

If you are flying in to BKK airport, we recommend you take a direct bus from BKK to Hua Hin (rather than travelling all the way in to the city centre to catch a train).
If you want to travel in the cheapest possible way, 3rd class is the way to go.
For short trips like this from Bangkok to Hua Hin they can be a good experience, but can get a little crowded at times.
2nd class seats are a bit more comfortable as they recline and the carriages are often less crowded than in 3rd class.
The 2nd class Day & Night carriages offer much wider seating and will be made into beds during the evening if you want to lie down for a couple of hours. However, it is not really worth paying the extra fees for this short journey, so we recommend you use the 3rd or 2nd class seat carriages for this trip to Hua Hin beach.
If you want to travel in 3rd class, there is no need to book in advance and you just buy your tickets on the day of travel.
If you want to travel 2nd class, booking in advance is always a good idea (especially during the tourist high season - November to April).
To book your tickets online you can either:
1) Buy tickets from any SRT railway station (the cheapest option).
