Le Bayburi Resort Hua Hin

... he'd do, except there isn't much of a view to enjoy because time and gravity (along with beer and deep fried foods) are unforgivingly destructive on the human body, especially when people don't take care of themselves. At 49, Pierre is considered a kid amongst the crowd here, which would make me a mere newborn; they weren't kidding when they said the crowd was older here. If cellulite were consumable by humans, there is enough here ...

... moving to another hotel from the very hotel they had chosen for the location or maybe another good reason. However, most of the fury was ceased with the announcement about the compensation from the Thailand government &#8211; cash worth about 400 euros per room and full board in the hotel we were transferred to.<br><br>All in all, hadn&#8217;t my family been here, I would never have come to a place like this as there are definitely more interesting places in Thailand ...

Yesterday we negotiated Bangkok public transportation and found our way to Hua Hin via a 3.5 hour "air conditioned" bus ride. We're trying to meet up with our friend Dawn, but so far no luck. <br><br>Last night we went to the night market and went wild; I'm going to have a hard time not bringing all of Thailand home with me in my ...

... 3rd time on our travels) where we paid 150 baht each for the 3 hour ride to Hua Hin. Hua Hin is on the coast with a beautiful white sand beach. It seems to be a hang-out for rich Thais and older Europeans, many of them here for the sex tourism ("Does Thailand know its getting our rejects" as Liza succintly put it.) Laughably one of the first posters I saw was Joe Cole inviting me to be his neighbour in Hua Hin. He's probably here for ...

After Chiang Mai, I headed to Hua Hin to meet up with a family friend and his wife, Phil and On. A 4 hours bus journey from Bangkok, with me being the only non thai person was a pretty intersting experience! I was met straight off the bus by Phil who took me straight to a bar...which set the tone for the weekend! We saw a live local band, the guitarist who was actually teaching Phil the guitar, so we got a few dedications! On the ...

So what's new? I arranged a Mexican evening last night with Michael cooking for 25 people, doing chilli, a chicken dish, a prawn dish and salad and salsa and loads of other stuff including a really good punch. 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 from the UK, although Sonia is ...

... the city. I started cycling along a road that leads south to the centre, parallel to the sea but a road or two 'in'. I soon spotted a strip of blue down one of the roads that led down to the front and headed in that direction. I cycled to the end of a pier and took in the scene, all very impressive - a huge sweep of sand leading off for miles in both directions, Hua Hin backed against the beach, white imposing hotels, some rather fancy. An established coastal resort - not ...

... anything was an effort, but we had a good crack at it. After one relatively restful day in Hua Hin we hired a taxi for the day (crikey!) and went off to the Sam Roi Yot national park. Just in the nick of time(?) as it turned out, a day or two later they closed it for fear of avian influenza. It's on the coast with some lovely views. We walked about a hundred miles to a caved-in cave where one of the kings had built a temple. Then we got to a nature trail where we hired a very ...
