*newer style train in video is #31 leaving Bkk at 14:45
*return from Hua Hin train is #40 leaving at 16:00 (express seater style)
Pls NOTE:
Note: Since my trip in the video I again tried booking (SRT online) 2cnd class AirCon train for a wedding in Hua Hin. However, Hua Hin trains were all sold out or did not appear. I thought because high season demand or??? So I called the SRT hotline 1690 and they said can no longer book aircon seats on far South-bound routes for such a short trip such as to Hua Hin (on seats which are also beds for longer journeys) - makes sense really.
EXCEPTION: 8:05 a.m. special express which is an A/C commuter seat train with 4 carriages.
Also note: SRT said they limit online bookings to 25% of total seats to be fair to all.
*If one still wants to book the new #31 train I took, you could try to book and pay for a higher fare to say PKK / Prachuap Khiri Khan (approx 1.5 hours after Hua Hin) but disembark at Hua Hin.
Prachuap is an absolute gem, so if you miss the Hua Hin stop, you'll likely LOVE PKK!
See my vid on PKK here:

Would NOT recommend taking a NON-aircon train even to Hua Hin as it will not be comfortable...
Happy travels all
