Empty ? Hua Hin is anything but empty

Ten years ago, after ten years of holidays in Phuket, Bangkok, Pattaya etc etc I discovered hua hin and the north (another wonderful place) and, to this day it is a fixed stop. It offers everything, absolutely everything, high quality food and accommodation facilities, markets and nightlife as you can see in the video, without losing the authentic Thai character but above all, without having to endure pitiful scenes of drunk and indecent mass tourists. I love HH

Hua Hin is a vibrant place with lots to do outside the typical bar scene, although there are bars in various locations around the city, Soi 80, Soi 94 & Soi Bintabaht, to name the most popular. Sure, it's a bit more relaxed than other more boisterous places, which only adds to its charm. Just a few clicks south are some of the best beaches, temples, caves, and places to explore with activities that don't involve getting drunk, although you can do that if you wish, but you'd be seriously missing out.

@@TheBadcompany1971 just asked one of the guys on the street how much it would cost for the day there are quite a few of them around and they have sign boards with the pricing

It’s a really great market definitely worth a visit

A friend of ours

Your very welcome It’s such a beautiful island We look forward to coming back early next year and enjoying the wonderful warm Thai hospitality :)

@@tiffanyha7831 Hi Tiffany glad you have enjoyed the video. Koh Lanta for me was a great place to learn as the streets are relatively quiet compared to Phuket or Pattaya and the roads are flat so no massive hills like Koh Chang or Koh Samui I think you should be ok I would ride there again Just stick to the left and if anyone wants to go around you they can Indicate early and check that no one is going to ride up the inside of you when you turn and if need be just follow a local that’s always the easiest way to learn how the traffic flows :) Good luck and have an amazing time in Koh Lanta I think we will be going back again early next year cos wr love it so much:) Try and get to the Elephant sanctuary we have done a video on that if you would like to check it out More than happy to answer any questions you have to try and make your first time the best time :)

@@intsccents sure was I know we will be back one day soon :)

Cheers 🍻 Video 2 of Hua Hin soon :)

@@JoeAndTheFam thank you 🙏 It was on our list when going to Koh Chang but we had a change of plans We definitely have it on our list to do. We are going to hire a bike from Jomtien and ride down there :) Can’t wait to video that trip 💓

Thanks Marie and Craig We are glad you enjoyed the video We will be putting up another one next week too :) We hope you enjoy boy your retirement in Hua Hin :)

Hi Budabear thank you. 🙏. We really liked Thong Nai Pan on the East coast. Our favourite beach on the West Coast was Mae Haad but when went for lunch at Chaloklum we didn’t have time to go for a swim but the beach there looked great. Enjoy your travels 🌴🌊😄

@@Tobben44 ok thank you

Some people 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

@@drillsgt41 we asked the locals before we did the video and they said either way is ok We will listen to the local Thai people

@@robshaztravels just found yall today and subscribed. Great video. Stopped watching one to reply. We are planning our retirement to Hua Hin in two years when our twins graduate. Never been there but all the studying we can possibly do says this is our town. 💞💞

@ it surely is a vibrant part of Thailand 🇹🇭 Good luck with the retirement planning and thank you for subscribing :) We will release another Hua Hin video soon

@@nightrider12soul sure it’s already known by Thai people and some Farang, we didn’t know about it and I’m sure there are others that don’t know how beautiful it is That what we want to show in our video :)

@@tristancan beaches always make us happy to look at when we are cold and miserable Are you thinking of coming to Thailand soon ?

​@@robshaztravelsA couple of years wait, when our youngest children leave home! 👍

😂😂😂 Yeah we did lol

@@jzkramer Australia definitely has amazing beaches but yes furs lack the culture the Thai people are what makes this country so beautiful

Good question Khao Lak has amazing beaches but not a whole lot to do for the kids, there are some things like mini golf and bamboo rafting Phuket has amazing beaches like Bang Tao, Kamala, Surin, Kata and Nai Han beach and there is so much to do with the kids but depending on the time of year that you go it can be very busy Krabi, not so nice beaches and some beautiful things to do Emerald pool, kayaking hot springs but is that what the kids will like :) If I was to take my kids I would probably go to Phuket as they have so much more things to do for the kids If it was just me and Rob going I would go back to Khao Lak because the beaches are amazing and it is such a relaxed place compared to Phuket I hope this helps :)

@robshaztravels so much to do means what ??? I love beaches....and nature...that's good enough for 5 days...we don't want to take too many risks....how is the local transportation in khao Lak ??? Is it too expensive??

@ can’t really tell you too much about the transport We did see songthaus going up and down the Main Street with people just waving them down to catch a ride The grab app works there you could try that too 5 days in Khao Lak will be amazing

@@inner_motiv 😂😂😂 thank you

@@JoeAndTheFam Thailand is beautiful we love it 🥰

@@JoeAndTheFam that’s awesome thank you for the lovely comment - I never knew about reddit I’ll have to do some research Have great day :)

@@vs123 it was really amazing 🤩 we will post a little video of the best parts soon but wow what an experience

@@hcardoso we are glad you got to visit the beautiful coastal town of Khanom Beach it is a lovely beach

@@brandonasuncion that’s great thank you for your comment :) we are glad you enjoyed the video

The price from Khao Lak is 3900 baht. Or from Phuket is 4300baht

@@vs123 so so beautiful, we were pleasantly surprised at how lovely it was

@@fezzer65 hey :) All depends on what month you want to stay It ranges from 2500 baht to 6000 baht in the high season :)

You can get accomodation from 499 baht and meals from 60 baht large bottles of water for 14 baht and beer from 60 baht at a restaurant, you can certainly find the cheaper way to live or you can also find the more expensive just depends on your personal preference We like to find the cheaper way to live and that works for us

@@mikeyboy200606 the BlueSotel Smart is a gorgeous hotel we loved it there and there is heaps to do on Ao Nang we are looking forward to going back there

@@mikeyboy200606 I hope you have a fabulous holiday

Hi We didn’t have much rain there was a little bit here and there but nothing to stop you having a fabulous time We think the rain didn’t really start that year until June but the winds they do change direction so for the beaches in Railay and Patong they will be blowing on shore which makes the water choppy but for places like Hua Hin and Khanom beach and the east coast of Koh Samui the winds are perfect for the beaches as they are blowing off shore :) Hope that helps :)

@ thanks for answer my question! It was very helpful

@@ggabrielskap your most welcome :)

@@woodyexplorer your very welcome we hope you get to go there some time :)

@@JohnMc1722 we think a lot of people don’t cos it was so quiet but it is so beautiful 🤩

@@lalanellie8396 I hope you got some useful information from the videos :) If you have any questions you can drop us a message Have a great trip to Khao Lak 🙏

Hello Terry. No mate we aren’t in Khao Lak at the moment. We are in Hua Hin travelling up the Gulf back to Bangkok. It must have been someone else. But if you do see us about we’d be happy to say Gidday. Hope you are having a great trip. 🙏😄

Hello Paul, thanks for the message. When the conditions are right the swimming and the waters around Thailand are incredibly beautiful. However, conditions are not always right. The prevailing winds go with the seasons in the low season which is usually from the end of May through till the end of November. The prevailing winds are. Westerly. this means any shoreline with an east facing coast will have calm. Waters. These sometimes works very good in the golf of Thailand however not so well on The Andaman Sea. When the high season comes the prevailing wins are gentle easterly and make water conditions very good on any west facing coast so that even means the Gulf of Thailand down the Trat side and Jomtien. Hope that helps a little bit the months in which the winds change does vary a little bit and on the shoulders of the high and low seasons you can get winds blowing in different directions on different days but they are usually quite calm as well except when the storms come lol. Enjoy your travels, Rob and Shaz
