You cannot get there on the bus for $2 US. Not anymore anyways.
Hua Hin is a pleasant beach resort town a couple hours south of Bangkok. Its population is currently booming with both Thais and foreigners. The beach is very long and fairly clean. The water is very clean and warm, but there are lots of jellyfish which makes swimming more nerve-wracking than relaxing.
Accomodation ranges from the above-mentioned Sofitel to rickety wooden rooms perched above the breakers. There are many nice resort/spa type places, both large and small.
The town itself just got its first big shopping center/movie theater complex, which is very modern and nice. There are all kinds of places to eat, from pick-your-own-lobster seafood places to fancy Italian ristorantes to pad thai stalls at the night market. The night market is located in the town center and, although small, offers a good opportunity to see some bustling Thai nightlife, eat some yummy cheap local food, and buy souvenirs at reasonable prices.
If you play golf there are at least three and maybe four very nice courses within 20 minutes of town.
Outside of Hua Hin there are some great caves and beaches to explore, if you are interested in day trips.
October is the Thai semester break and Hua Hin is a very popular destination for Thai vacationers, so it will be more crowded than if you went in, say, September. Don't let that dissuade you because it is still a really great place to spend time.

Gotta say I love Hua Hin more than any other beach in Thailand. Although I could have had my holidays in other nicer beaches down south!
Well, Its quiet, relaxing, lovely, friendly atmosphere. Its very small town. Only a few bars and clubs and very less percentage of prostitutes compare with Pattaya or Patong. Most of the tourists there are retired and from Scandinavia. so its good for people who need something quiet and chilled.
The fresh sea foods there is just ohhh so good and cheap! Don't forget to check out the night market. Try many different Thai foods and snacks and Dim sum lunch in a Chinese restaurant on the top of Hilton Hotel as you can have the 360c view of Hua Hin from there. Its very nice there!
The beach is more likely to be packed by mainly Thai people during the weekend as its not so far from Bangkok by driving and yes its less beautiful when you compare with Phuket or Krabi...
Enjoy your time there! I'm heading to Phuket next month tho :)

Just came back from there two days ago. Great weather there. Good food. Good place for family vacation. Center Court was a good hang-out place for families. We did not have to worry too much that our children might ask questions about male farangs who walk with awfully-clothed dark-skinned young Thai females, a scene so commonly seen in Pattaya and Phuket. We had golf fun at Cha-am, although technically speaking this is not in Hua Hin but it does not take too long time by car.

HH is a pleasant enough Scandinavian tourist resort.. It is nice enough there, but I find this odd contrast of smiling Thais and stone faced Nords [ you would think the heat might melt out a smile] .. but pleasant enough indeed.. Good food, etc.. but since you are making the effort to come all this way, why don't you get out of the tourist areas a bit too..

Great place. Beautiful beaches and has everything Pattaya has except the crowds of tourists. I like to go there from BKK to get away from it all. You can go from BKK by bus for like $2.00 us dollars or on a train for around $4.00. I'd do the train if your not in a hurry.

i might say no, my cousin breeds Chihuahuas and majority of them in the event that they are shy or in basic terms domestic canines they shake. same ingredient with my Chihuahua Chi Chi, it does not continually recommend that they are chilly the two. article off the cyber web: "Chihuahuas will shake via fact they are chuffed, afraid, chilly or nerve-racking. it rather is well-known and shall we the canines show itself. this does not recommend the animal is sick. anticipate shaking to be a component of your Chihuahuas adventure. "
