  • Welcome back to the channel as I embark on my first full day in Hua Hin, Thailand, in search of the ultimate expat dream! Join me for Part 2 of my Hua Hin series. The day begins at a hotel that didn't quite meet expectations. I'll share my candid thoughts on this accommodation and how it measures up to the expat lifestyle.
    I kickstart my day with a morning walk along the stunning Hua Hin Beach, a very chilled beach that is perfect for taking it easy. Next, I head off to find some local Thai street food.
    The next stop is Khao Takiab Beach: A Popular Expat Destination. Join me as I visit the renowned Khao Takiab Beach, a beloved spot among expats. We'll explore the beach's charm and take a peek at the coastal condos that make this area so attractive.
    I wrap up the day with a visit to the incredible Market Village mall complex. Discover the shopping delights and amenities this mall has to offer, perfect for expats seeking convenience.
    Throughout the video, we'll have a candid chat about whether Hua Hin truly lives up to the Thailand expat dream. Is this the ideal place to call home for those seeking adventure, relaxation, and a taste of authentic Thai living?

      I trust you watched Johnny's first vid in his new series of Hua Hin options for expats.
      Shows off the great places to eat around there.
      You'll never run out of super places to eat there, if you choose to stay. Cheers 🍻

      Thanks Steve mate. I have to admit, I've not watched any Hua Hin vlogs for a while before this trip. I do this , so I get a real first impression. I love Jonny's channel though, and I will kick myself when I do watch and see some places I should have went 🤣

    I moved down from China Mai a couple of weeks back and loving it here. Can’t beat a wander along a quiet beach with the sun rising ❤ try La Casita condos, amazing!
    Nice to see Farangs with their well chosen wives enjoying retirement and her enjoying being back in Thailand. My wife is happier now than she has ever been!
    Fewer stray dogs too which is a bonus.
    Hopefully bump into you soon

I noticed you said you couldn't sleep in your room due to the noise of the traffic outside. You must be a light sleeper because I would have no trouble sleeping there! Thanks for showing us around Wayne. Looking forward to the next vlog 😃👍🏼

      Thanks Mate! Hua Hin has been great, such a chilled vibe. The hotel was really good, it was just the location. It has some good reviews. If you are a heavy sleeper, it wouldn't be a problem. I could feel lack of sleep after the second night though.

    Beach isn't crowded as you're a month away from high season.
    The fact that the big hotels occupy a lot of the direct beach access is a bit off putting (but great if you're staying in one of these)

  • @retireinhuahin
    @retireinhuahin 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Hua Hin is more of a weekend town. The wealthy Thai families visit on the weekends and when there is a festival the town fills up. Beaches are empty during the week. That area by the boat dock is Kao Takiab beach which will have many people on a Saturday. two of my condo's are right by that ferry dock and they are popular for 40-65 years olds.

  • @retireinhuahin
    @retireinhuahin 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    it looks like your visiting the beaches which are more rocky or harder sand surface. The nice sandy beach areas are where the resorts are. There is no beachside road in Hua Hin so the great sand areas are guarded by the resort access. You might want to go to Cha Am beach area for a walking video as well, there is a beachside road with pubs, walking street, and is also a weekend place, but can fill up with a lot more Thai locals. Cha Am gets overlooked by Cha Am, but it's more affordable and can be a fun weekend stay.

    Hi Wayne. Loving your Hua Hin videos. We were in Hua Hin for a month in January. We stayed at La Casita condos. Lovely place and we got a very good deal. Best ones are looking outwards, the ones looking into the pool/gardens can be noisy. We found Night market, Tamarind market and Cicada market nice enough but touristy. The best markets where the Thais shop are Chatchai - a day time market lots of it undercover so nice to wander in when it's hot. Pae Mai Tuesday market is fab. Great big market with a big food court and live music too. Dinosaur Ruam Suk and Bon Gai are worth a look too. A great food court is Ban Khun Por. Very cheap (600 ml Leo 65 bhat) lots of choice from the many food stalls and great live music. So much to see and do in Hua Hin. Can't wait to go back. It was very busy when we were there, lots of folks on the beaches but as they are so big it was fine. Loved your Chang Mai stuff too. It was very helpful to watch before our visit there. Thank you.

    You need the next hotel to be off the beaten track mate. I'm guessing a few stiff scotches wouldn't dull the pain of the noise either seeing a couple of small Leos didn't do the trick. But for that the room looks good value. It would be OK if you had a good sort up there and were hard at it for hours I guess 😂🤣😂 I'd have been down that beach at 6.05am renting a deck chair and crashing out to catch up on the lost zzzzs but you had a video to make. Have fun mate. Nice little appetizer this. Beautiful place. Looking forward to the upcoming videos from Hua Hin. 🤩 The ferry no longer operates mate. They stopped it when the Covid lock downs started or thereabouts and it appears to have permanently ceased operation. Chai was looking at using it some time ago and found it had been suspended.

      I love this 150 click mate. They are so much better then the 125s. It felt so much more solid and handles higher speeds a lot easier then my 2019 125cc. Because it's smaller and lighter then the Aerox or PCX, with virtually the same engine, it was like a little rocket.
