Getting there and away

Train

Probably the best way to arrive in Prachuab is on the train. There are eleven trains arriving daily, in the afternoon and late evening, and eleven departures, mostly in the early morning hours. A 2nd class sleeper with fan to/from Bangkok costs 345 THB, 545B if you must have A/C. Third class is a steal at 118 THB -- it only takes six hours, so you don't really have to sleep. Chumphon is only two hours away, and third class is just 34 THB.

Bus

Minivans for Chumphon leave daily from in front of the Inthira hotel--three departures, between 06:00 and 08:30. Fares are around 150 THB. Buses from Bangkok drop off passengers at the terminal across from the Inthira. Departures from that terminal are for local buses only, not tour buses. Bangkok buses, stopping at points north, leave across from the 7-eleven, around the corner from the Yuttichai, on Phitak Chat Rd. Buy your ticket on the bus. Buses leave from 04:00 to 18:00 about every hour.
