Going from Hua Hin to Phu Ruea National Park? CABHUAHIN picks you up at your door in Hua Hin and drives you straight to Phu Ruea National Park in a private air-conditioned car. The trip is about 780 km and takes around 10 h 15 min without long stops. One fixed price per car, not per person.
Phu Ruea National Park in Loei is crowned by a 1,365-metre summit said to resemble a junk boat, and is one of the coldest places in Thailand. In December and January temperatures can drop low enough for frost on some mornings, and the grassy, rocky summit offers sunrise views over a sea of mist towards the hills of Laos.
Our driver picks you up anywhere in Hua Hin, drives the route below and waits if you book a return. Fixed price per car, tolls and fuel included.
