Week Thirteen - Hua Hin
... nose to spite face and leg it instead. Grumpy as ever in mornings. Arrive already soaked in sweat and join 3 Swedish guys. Royal Hua Hin is Thailands oldest and perhaps most royal course. Nice but not as nice as Palm Hills. Two of Swedes are single ...
Singapore to Hua Hin
... massage shops, bars, restaurants, night markets, beach vendors, tuk tuks and everything else that goes with a typical Thai holiday. Hua Hin is also a traditional resort for Swedes, Fins and Danish people escaping the horrors of the northern winter. More ...
A very full Saturday
... the beds sounded like a good idea anyway, so we did. After dark our host suggested that as it was Saturday we might enjoy a trip into Hua Hin night market. For 150 baht a taxi or tuk tuk would take us there. We walked to the end of our soi where sure ...
Tropical anniversary
Another one of the joys of being the trip's organiser is that you get to choose where you have your anniversary. Not just any anniversary. Today Jess and I have been married for 25 years. Our silver wedding anniversary, and in all truth the happiest 25 ...
Hua Hin
... I would return to. My traveller's tip would be to make the 17 hr trip straight to Bangkok from Koh Phangan rather than stopping off in Hua Hin - unless you are staying in the Sofitel or Dunsit! The next day we made our way to Bangkok, just in time to get ...
Royal Beach
We continue to work our way down the coast with our first stop being Hua Hin. Most likely to win the tidiest town award based on it has been the longtime retreat of Thai royalty. The town is constant on alert for the King, therefore it has clean ...
Second verse, same as the first
... we showered and changed and headed down the road. After another great meal we all agreed that we would head into town again, but to the Hua Hin Bazaar instead of the night market. We found a tuk tuk and told the drive to take us to the bazaar. He looked ...
Plane tickets and a beach
... time to develop photos, arrange a plane ticket and do some writing in Bangkok. Then I took some time back on the beach in Hua Hin to rest and actually do a lot of walking once the typhoon had ceased before what I anticipated would be a really tough 2 or ...
Last day in Hua Hin
... we headed into Hua Hin for a Japanese meal. Our host again suggested a number we could choose from. We went to the Hua Hin Market Village, a modern complex with a number of restaurants and shops. Normally not our sort of thing, we were intrigued mainly ...
Goodbye
... but we swapped phone numbers and she phoned me 5 minutes after she'd gone home saying I should stay there! So we all went to Hua Hin but some people went off separately so me, Susan, Truls, Daan, Amy, Christine, Laura and Abby went for dinner together ...
Where is civilised?
Returning from Rangoon to Bangkok was another culture shock, the modernity of Bangkok contrasting with Rangoon's backwardness. I saw more white faces in a 10 minute walk down the street in Bangkok than I had in almost 7 weeks in Burma. I also saw Coca ...
No Hurry to Hua Hin
... miles later we began to feel pretty hungry and decided to have a long lunch in Cha-am. This is another tourist destination above Hua Hin – not great from what we saw. Lots of tourists and English breakfasts. It’s really hard to judge a seaside ...
The 2nd Annual BLOOMERS Invitational
... , all they wanted to do was get massages, sleep, eat, and go to the bars. Who would have thought?!?! Haha :-). Overall, I didnt find Hua Hin as beautiful as some of the other beaches I have been to in Thailand. But it was still a great, fun, and relaxing ...
Ok...One MORE End-of-School Celebration!
... signatures we needed, we hopped in a cab and made the 2 hour trip to Hua Hin beach. Since my time in Thailand, I had never been to Hua Hin before. It is a very famous destination among Bangkokians. Just to put in all in perspective, Pattaya, Ko Samet, and ...
A package tourist encounter
Hua Hin is not a resort either of us would frequent on our own. Beautiful and luxurious, yes, but still a somewhat soulless haven for package holidayers and rowdy sex tourists. So although I enjoyed our incredible foot massages, delicious food and ...
Noche Mexicana and Pulling Parlour
... nbsp; Everyone loved it and said that they had a good time I was so pleased. Have a day off tomorrow so came to Hua Hin for the night and have had a lovely time with the girls tonight. The girls being Sonia, Emma and Lucinda ...
SMOG = SMOKE + FOG
... in this potent concoction made me feel this way. Why, oh why, is Thai Red Bull such a crazy, cracked out cocktail? Now we've taken a ride into Hua Hin to see the other Hyatt property in Thailand. So far this has been far from a backpacking budget ...
So two of the bears are called Jaon and Jess
Today was a good day I got to do the bears food today and I found out that two of the bears are called Joan (My mum's name) and Jess I just need to find a David (Dad) and I'll have a set!!! We have four bear enclosures with ten, ...
Hua Hin
... nbsp; Well we indeed found that to be exactly the case. Although technically this resort was still on a stretch of beach considered 'Hua Hin' beach.....what the website did not say was that it was 45 minutes south of actual Hua Hin. We made ...
A trip up country
... the reason for coming here, a fund raising day for the local temple, one of my travelling companions was the owner of a bar in Hua Hin and she had arranged the gathering to gather funds from her crowd, all the monies collected were then pinned to a stump ...
The never ending journey...
... in shock. Although it wasnt exactly like home because it had no marmite and had people hacking up chickens in the aisle. Ah, thailand... Hua Hin is beautiful, we chilled out on the beach most of the time. Lily even had a pedicure out on some rocks by ...
Hua Hin
After 13 hours on the bus riding through miles upon miles of lush green Thailand rainforest, we have made it to Hua Hin! We are staying in a great little hotel (where Mike was able to swing us a weekly rate deal) right smack dab in the middle ...

The land of smiles
... from Colombo got me into Bangkok about 6-30, where I was met by Ian and Nid, friends from back home who are now living down in Hua Hin. A 3 hour drive later and I was in my base for the next 4 months - Hua Hin. Hua Hin is a lovely place about a ...
Father's Day Weekend
... nbsp; So technically Joe and I can celebrate these days twice a year. :-) Joe took Friday off and we headed out early for Hua Hin. Its about a three hours drive from Bangkok. We were on the road by 7:00 and missed all the traffic through ...
Living the Life
We are now living it up in the most fantastic hotel of our trip. it is like going back to bye gone days in the lap of luxury on a resort just metres from the beach . A total of six pools live piano music at breakfast all very refined don't know how me ...
Night out in Hua Hin
... in style and they had some really nice fusian Asian dishes. Service was good and friendly. There is a very good choice of restaurants in Hua Hin. We walked up to the area round the Hua Hin Hilton as there is a good place to buy Mango and Sticky Rice along ...
On holiday
... handed the change over to me without hesitation, brilliant! My destination in Thailand was the Siam Gulf and the small town of Hua Hin, where parents would already be spending their holiday and my sister would arrive the next day. I didn’t have ...
Iguanas and Monty Python
So what's new? Went to Hua Hin with two other girls Monday and had a great day sunbathing, going to the hairdresser having a facial, eating a lovely meal and then going to the night market. The day started off really lovely weather wise ...
