If you have the time, I also support above suggestion from cln to take bus and ferry. You could do this directly from Bangkok and break journey for an overnight in Hua Hin to add to your experience. First class buses are very comfortable and quite inexpensive.
If anyone were to go to Hua Hin I would attempt to steer them toward the minivans just east of Victory Monument. A much better proposition than the bus.
