Train 261 Timetable Thailand
Hua Lamphong to Hua Hin (Suan Soan Pradipat)
Train 261 is an Ordinary Train service from Bangkok to Hua Hin and Suan Soan Pradipat beach (just south of Hua Hin).
This is an all Third class seat service and is the slowest of all train types, stopping at every little station along the way.
They also have a tendency for running late, as they are often held up
at the station to let the faster Rapid and Express trains pass by.
However,
these Ordinary services can be a great experience for travelling, with
crowded carriages and a constant supply of food and drink vendors. If
your journey is not too long - they can be good fun.
So if you are not in a rush, you should consider taking one of these slow trains, just for the experience.
Another good reason to take one of these services is that they are incredibly cheap.
The whole journey from Bangkok to Hua Hin costs only 44 Baht (for Thai people they are free - that's why they can get crowded).

Seats on Train 261
You will usually have a choice of seats on these trains, with two types of carriages. One type has the hard wooden seats but are great for watching the views, while the other has padded seating along the sides, so if the train is crowded, you may end up sitting with your back to the window all the way.
