Getting from Koh Samui to Hua Hin is an adventure day of ferry and bus travel, and Dave and Kim document the whole route. The trip runs by Lompraya ferry from Maenam via Koh Phangan and Koh Tao to Chumphon, then by VIP bus to Hua Hin and a Grab taxi to their hotel.
Leaving Koh Samui by Ferry
The journey starts at Pralarn Pier in Maenam on the north coast of Koh Samui, where the couple boards the Lompraya ferry. The boat stops at Koh Phangan and Koh Tao, where passengers switch boats, before continuing to Chumphon Pier on the mainland.
VIP Bus to Hua Hin
From Chumphon, a VIP bus covers the long road trip north to Hua Hin. For travelers weighing how to move between the Gulf islands and the mainland coast, this combined ferry and bus ticket is the standard, affordable route, and the video shows exactly how the connections work.
Arriving at the Destination Resort
In Hua Hin, a Grab taxi finishes the trip to the Destination Resort, also known as the Novotel Hua Hin Cha Am. Dave and Kim highly recommend staying there, and the arrival footage doubles as a first look at the property for anyone considering a booking.
House Hunting Begins
The purpose of the trip is bigger than a hotel stay: the couple is heading to Hua Hin in search of a new house to live in and new adventures. It is a useful episode for viewers following the channel's move, and for anyone planning the same island to Hua Hin transfer.
