From Bangkok, the blue-white express buses (977, 72) from Bangkok's Southern Bus Terminal (Deep blue Ticket booth 89, departure platform 6) will take you directly to Phetchaburi's bus terminal, which is adjacent to a night market. The express buses leave Bangkok currently every two hours between 11.00 and 17.00, and you should allow two hours for the journey, which will cost 112 baht. There are also minibuses going (same ticket booth, same departure platform), however there might be problems, as they do not provide extra space for bigger pieces of luggage. Take care to avoid the blue, white and orange buses, as they will stop many times and will take much longer to reach Phetchaburi.
You can also reach Phetchaburi by train from Hua Lamphong; the journey normally takes around four hours, but can occasionally take longer. This will cost 100-250 baht, depending on the type of train.
A taxi from Bangkok should cost no more than 2000 baht and should take around two hours.
