It takes more than 3 hours to reach Hua Hin town from Bangkok. This is also a way of moving that is both cost-effective and safe. You can book a private car rental HERE like us to get great deals.

Where is the cheapest place to stay for 3 days in Hua Hin? (#hua hin thailand itinerary)

If your purpose trip is mainly for experiences, you should choose to stay at a homestay or a 2-star, 3-star hotels, instead of a luxury hotel. One thing we learned is that our stay at the hotel is often very short, only about 7 hours a day, so we just need a comfortable place to sleep. Hostels in Hua Hin are many, extremely affordable. We booked a room at the 2-star Victor Guesthouse (Agoda, Booking), a 5-minute walk from Hua Hin beach, with a private swimming pool in the guesthouse, clean and comfortable rooms.

Hua Hin is famous for many 5 star hotels and very beautiful resorts. Hotels and restaurants in Hua Hin are more concentrated in the Soi 55 and Soi 69 areas. In addition there are many guesthouses with dorm rooms for over $10 per bed, two star Hua Hin hotels with prices from $20 / night.

Detailed Hua Hin itinerary 3 days 2 nights (#3 days in hua hin)

Day 1: Sam Phan Nam Floating Market – Black Mountain Water Park (#hua hin itinerary)

Morning

Starting our Hua Hin 3 days 2 nights itinerary, we departed from Bangkok to arrive at Hua Hin from 6am after taking a flight to Suvarnabhumi airport. Traveling by private car that we rented before, it only takes us about 3 hours to go to Victor Guesthouse to check-in and go to the room to unpack, arrange our belongings and rest for about 30 minutes before going to explore this beautiful land.

The first day we took a tuk-tuk to Sam Phan Nam floating market, here you will be overwhelmed by the bustling bustle of buyers and sellers in the market. In this market, the price of items, especially fruits, is only from $2 to $5. We bought some delicious fresh fruit to eat on the way back to the guesthouse.

Address: Thap Tai Hua Hin Prachuap Khiri Khan 77110
Hours: 9AM–9PM

Noon

We chose to have a meal at the guesthouse with traditional Thai dishes such as Pad Thai and spicy hot pot, advice for believers who can’t eat spicy foods is that you should tell the waiter to inform the chef cooks not too spicy in advance, otherwise Thai dishes always have a lot of chili. After lunch we had a break at the guesthouse.

Afternoon

At exactly 1:30pm, we rented a taxi to the Black Mountain Hua Hin water park. This is one of the famous water parks across Thailand. It has 9 fun water slides to play with and six different zones. From a wave pool that produces the highest waves in Thailand, to a 17-meter tower for slides with spiral slides, this water park is for all ages.

Prices for these foods range from $1 to $5. We also bought one or two beautiful brocade clothes made by the locals here to give as gifts.

Hire a local to take you into the forest to explore the beautiful nature here, we encountered a lot of monkeys here. It will cost about $5 to hire someone to guide you through the jungle. According to my Hua Hin travel guide, you should wear forest shoes to avoid slipping and should apply insect repellent.
