Supatra Resort Hua Hin

Here we are, at the beach for a couple of days before the big flight home. Pierre agreed to go, despite the extreme heat and the fact that he's simply not a beach person. I had picked the site at Hua Hin for a few reasons:<br>1- it can easily be reached by train under 4 hours<br>2- it's considered older (ie. as in an older crowd) and therefore, there are less beer-swigging yahoos, ski-doos, motorboats and by default, should be less ...

... for a while anyway. Family reunion was nice as well, even though it also naturally involves some inevitable downsides, like being constantly questioned about my plans to come home and graduate, as well as being forced to listen to my sister&#8217;s horrible Finnish rap music in our hotel room. A good thing about the time here was also that I had a good opportunity to read and hence prepare myself for my next destination that I knew embarrassingly little about, Burma.

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 ...

The beauty of Hua Hin is unique to it's nature. The air is filled with<br>the beach town vibe while containing all the comforts of a city. This<br>beach town has not lost it's good old rule generosity and hospitality<br>due to mass influx of tourism. Many other cities have been culturally<br>dominated by the ways of the west. For example in Koh Samet when<br>entering a store I would "wai" the shop keeper and he ...

... zurueck auf die Landstrasse bis nach Hua Hin. XXXXX It took 5 days untill I realized that I stayed in Jomtien instead in Pattaya! Reason: I didn't look to my map at arrival! Despite that afterwards I moved to Pattaya for 2 Nights to visit it as well untill I returned to Bangkok. Actually in Bangkok I only had to receive my new Carnet de Passage (it was sent from home to the Embassy) and to get 2 new tires at BMW Barcelona Motors. But that those ...

... are canals running along and perpendicular to the roads for miles and miles in all directions. In all fairness though, I suspect the Venice of Italy's canals have a little more charm. It's clear that these waterways aren't so much intended at a way of getting around, so much as they're a sort of open air drainage system. Bangkok is one of those cities that spreads out into the neighboring country seamlessly. We drove for an hour ...

... the other way at what is by any measure a blatant abuse of an entry facility for tourism. apparently they will no longer look the other way with respect to this issue. what they are saying is that if you want to stay here please get a visa but if you are here for a short visit, then, and only then, please go ahead and just get stamped in for a 30-day visit. the falangs are mad as hell because they consider their visa runs a god-given right. i feel that they would be a little more ...

It may make you all pleased to know that even in paradise it rain, last week we were hit by a small monsoon storm which brought continuous rain for nearly a week. Which meant we were prety much confined to the house- not too bad really doing nothing playing cards and watchin DVD's. But on Friday the rain stopped and the beautiful weather returned and we were ready to expore again. So on sa**************ed for the train station and after a dicey ...
