Me, as a family man, definitely prefers Hua Hin. More laidback. Most important my family enjoy Hua Hin so much. Maybe if I was 30 yrs younger, i will enjoy Pattaya more. 😂
Haha yeah maybe. I’m not single anymore so I won’t even think I’d love it 😜 even I’m maybe 30 years younger then you?! Haha anyway thanks for watching 🏆 cheers!
I think Hua Hin is suitable for people who want to come and relax. Pattaya goes out to entertainment places, both of which have advantages but are different in 2 cities and I also choose Hua Hin as the first place. 😁😁😍😍🍻🍻👍👍
Nice one! I’ll gonna have to check out Pattaya soon too though. Have a good evening already
As a Bangkokian myself HuaHin has always been our favourite beach city to go to.Certainly this is not for teenagers and people who likes to have a lot of night life fun.There are so many hideaway serene beaches and many nice hotel nice restaurants nice food and nice cafe all over.
I loved Hua Hin when I visited. I especially remember the beautiful historic train station there. I didn't go to Pattaya because I was under the impression that it was mainly a party town. I liked the man in the MotorHead shirt. He was fun with his air guitar playing.
Haha yeah he was cool guy indeed 😊 thanks again champ 🏆 they’re building a new train station at the moment. It’s gonna be a lot bigger
Lemmy RIP and RIP-Phil and Fast Eddie-the best line up
Honestly, i always passed by Hua Hin, because of its rumours of "old peoples retirement place " - sorry i love wise people - your video and interviews changed my thinking, it looks gorgeous ! and the comparison with Pattaya is a good topic, i never hated PT but it is not my place to go . - have been once there and it was OK. Thanks Chai, good content 👍🙏💛
Thank you 🤗 I also not hate it but it is definitely not my cup of tea 😝 I’m planning a little trip there at the moment anyway to check it out and see how it is at the moment 😁 cheers! 🏆
I love wise ppl🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
There’s a lot to do in HH! Been to HH many times there’s plenty to do! Kite surfing, sailing, ATV, jet skiing, spas, Cicada night market, HH night market, golf, tennis, waterpark, Bluport for shopping, Monsoon vineyard for wine tasting. Try Seen Space, The Standard Hotel where more of the younger Thais go
Nice! Thanks for your input champ 🏆
Hua Hin is better in many ways than Pattaya although I would rather go to Koh Samui and some of the other islands in Southern Thailand. If you really want whatever Pattaya has to offer, go to Phuket as it can empty your pockets just as fast.
Hua Hin is cleaner, nicer in many ways but if its bars you want, go to Phuket or just save yourself the trip and stay in Bangkok.
Very interesting comparing the two for sure. I'm not even sure Pattaya is the go to place so much for female travelers young or old mostly world renowned as the sex tour capital (probably more so than Bangkok) of the rampant males of this world (Pattaya) and Jomtien more so the preferred choice of male retirees to live and certainly less hectic than Pattaya. The beach of Jomtien MUCH cleaner than that of Pattaya which is full of all sorts of fishing and shipping vessels rendering it unclean for people to swim in it.. Hua Hin as described clean beach, nice restaurants and decent bars with entertainment more suited to the older generation. Pattaya is an extended version of Bangla Road, Patong Beach Phuket. As always champ it is interesting listening to the views of the tourists out there. As always well done champ. 🤩
Hey mate 🏆 yeah that’s pretty much spot on :) I still think there is nothing wrong with the Pattaya beaches and find Jomtien a nicer somewhat calmer area. It’s about time to revisit soon 😎
@@Chai_Travel ha ha and you are only a 1,250 baht 8 hour ferry trip from Hua Hin to Pattaya direct away. Bon Voyage 🤩
Aha! I didn’t know that yet. Are to still running nowadays? 😃 I’m interested!
20 plus years ago i didnt even hear about hua hin. I went pass the town with a bus though but such a lovely beach town.
I prefer Pattaya. Better connected, better golf courses, more daytime entertainment options, very nice quiet condos with direct beach access (Jomtien and Wong Amat), from where you can easily reach the bustling night entertainment scene if you want. I would feel too young in HH. I am 55. Just my own opinion 🤷♂️.
Haha nice one mate 🤩 that’s the spirit 💪🪩🕺 I’ll have to go to Pattaya again to check it out soon! Thanks for watching 🏆
@@Chai_Travel thank you for your positive vibes! Btw I may want to visit HH again, your show was a good reminder.
@@BambinoAmericano thanks mate :) haha yeah man. I’m sure you’ll love it. I’ve heard Cha Am is also worth to visit (I’d never been though). Have good day
Id rather LIVE in chill Hua Hin and occasionally VISIT crazy Pattaya
It's ironic to see a guy in a Motorhead t-shirt describe a place as too noisy lol. On balance I'd pick HH over Pattaya, but of course there are far better places than both (though not so easily reached from Bangkok)
Haha yeah :p but I think he used to be a bit wilder in the past. I fully agree with you 😁🏆 cheers
@@Chai_Travel yeah I've calmed down a lot myself. Most of us do eventually 🤣🤣
Please let me know what are these better places your speaking of. Thanks
I'm afraid the hopes of Aunt Andimay from Finland seem dim. Because Putin is like a man riding on the back of a tiger and he would definitely never let go of the tiger's back. Please support your leader as he is leading Finland in the right direction by becoming a NATO member nation, that is the only way in Finland's future to be safe from the man sitting on the back of a tiger. See, for example, Lithuania, Estonia, and Latvia, tiny nations stuck with Russia but safe in the shadow of NATO. 💪
Well said Cher 🙏 good to see you’re watching again :) have a great night and day 🤗
@@Chai_Travel Not watching again but watching all time.😁
@@chermarl5955 555 thanks for watching all the time! ❤️
Hua Hin is a lovely compromise.
A bit of everything, for single, married or families.
The thai people there are much more helpful and polite, rather than over zealous.
Once had a guy, when asking for directions out of a dead end. Started his bike and told our car to follow him. He brought us right to our destination.
True nam jai deed.
Man, these are the lovely stories about Thai people ❤️ thanks for sharing that
If you are a single person, Pattaya is OK but would not recommend it for a family or a couple. Sexual energy is over the top all around the city if that is your thing. Hua Hin is a relaxing Sea side town for all different ages and types of people. If you want to party with friends, maybe Bangkok or Phuket would be good choice.
Hi!Champ.l totall agree.and one more reason Pattaya was so easy accessible by motorway.it's near BKK.but Hua Hin was a bit more further and the road under construction for many years but it's not finished.take care .Champ.
Hi hi! Ow yeah. And they’re working on a new train line atm as well so Hua Hin would be even easier accessible 😊 cheers 🏆
Most people mentioned the human aspects of Hua Hin. As a geographer, I would go there because of the climate. It experiences less rain than other regions of Thailand, and perhaps lower humidity--not sure about the latter.
Nice! I didn’t know about the rain (not much rain). Thanks
Welcome home bro. Look at all them Scandinavians escaping the crap winter weather😅 Agree with my fellow Viking's, Hua Hin, or head rock in English is a much more chillin place. You can stretch out your arms on the beach without slapping someone in the face! I can't wait to get back home to CM...
Cheers Lars! It’s great to be back 🤩 I definitely like to go to CM too but we’re gonna have to wait another few month before we going north again 🏆
Early last year I spent two weeks in Hua Hin and had a wonderful time. Prior to that I'd been to Pattaya, had planned to stay for a week but disliked it so much that I cut the visit short by four nights, spent a few weeks in Bangkok then went to Hua Hin. I found Pattaya to be far too seedy for my liking, I'm just not into that kind of life.
Aaah I see why you had such an experience. Pattaya is definitely not for everyone :) thanks for sharing your thoughts
Great Video ! Hua Hin has it all :) Being over 50 I would want more calm and quite.
An older and wiser group for interviews on this one! Nice! Hey- Sunday Night Market for us in Old Town Phuket tonight!
Cool! Haha are you in Phuket at the moment?! That’s one of my favorite night markets ever 😍
After being in both Pattaya and Jomtien, I am amazed by how dirty and trashy the water is at both beaches. Floating garbage and very murky polluted water. Got a 4 inch by 5 inch skin rash that lasted for days after swimming at the beach in Jomtien for just 15 minutes. I spent 3 months there. Hopefully, Hua Hin is nicer.
Wow, that’s scary. I guess it’s some days worse than others. Thanks for watching though 😊
Obviously these people have only seen the main beach in Pattaya. There is several much better beaches in Pattaya than Hua Hin. Pattaya has something for everyone. If you want peace and quiet, go to Naklua or Na Jomtien or Pratamnak. I would not stay in Hua Hin for any price. Nearby Cha-Am is much better. Then this Norwegian guy talks about shopping and restaurants😂 Pattaya wins in both by far.
For people live in western Bangkok like me also prefers Hua Hin. Even though It's shorter length in kilometer but it's more traffic trouble for Thais who go on Saturday and come back on Sunday. Both places have good hotels/resorts and restaurant for all members of family but I think Hua Hin is more privacy and simply place. For Thai, Cha-Am or Hua Hin isn't for old-retired people but it's one of best weekend places for resting from rush lifestyle of Metro Bangkok. Half an hour from Hua Hin, Pranburi is the more silent place than Hua Hin that I also like to visit.
It's not a fair question. Pattaya is for those who seek girly bars, drinking to excess and being ripped off by a taxi pirates. Hua Hin is more relaxed and the beach is shallow, which is ideal for families with children. Hua Hin is far superior to Pattaya, but please don't tell everyone!
Haha yeah fair enough 😅 I’m sorry… I just made this video 😝 luckily there aren’t millions of views of it 😜 cheers David
In my own understanding saying " go to Pattaya" means actually to Chom Tien Beach or just Central department store in Central Pattaya, that's all. If you really want nicer beach in the eastern coast go to beaches inside any Royal Thai Navy area in Sattahip. No need to go far to Phuket and you got the same.
Cool! I’ll nee to check it out :) thanks for the tip and watching 😁
A better comparison would be Jomtien v Hua Hin. I’ve lived in both places and with Jomtien your nearer Bangkok, you’ve got Ko Larn island, both places are great, though I really like Cha Am too!
Nice one Roy! Aw that’s it. I think We’re missing some island on Hua Hin side! I’ve never been to Cha Am yet but , I’ve heard good stories about it 😍
The beach in Hua Hin is definitely better and the water are much cleaner.
I thought Bangkok was north of Pattaya and jomtien was south of cozy beach and Pattaya ?
Hua Hin used to be a resort town for the wealthy and elite in the past.There is more peace and better construction. Pattaya used to be a retreat for American soldiers during the Vietnam war. So focus on chaotic entertainment and gray business.
Thanks for your input champ 😁 good to see you’re watching again 🏆 cheers
I think it depends where you live in Pattaya, because if you have a house on the dark side/east Pattaya then its also quiet and very relaxing with nice restaurants in the area. It only takes 20 minutes to drive into Pattaya to enjoy the nightlife, shopping etc. and 30 minutes to nice beaches near Sattahip. I also like Hua Hin, but 20 years ago when I was in my 40s there was just not enough entertainment there and Suvarnabhumi airport was so much closer to Pattaya, which is important when you still travel in and out of Thailand frequently.
Aaa gotcha. I see how Pattaya is more attractive to people now. Hua Hin is just so much calmer and yes indeed also quite far from the airport. Thanks for sharing your thoughts 😁
you are welcome
The only very bad thing in Pattaya is crazy traffic. A village turned into town turn into a city 🌆 of 1million people + tourists on top. Not one new road built.Thousands of dead end streets. Etc etc etc picking up kids from school can take over an hour drive covering a mare 5-6 km. A deal breaker
Very sweet of you to donate some money for Oekraïne ..love it ..Stay Chanp❤
It would be interesting to see this survey on a larger scale. Pattaya has got a lot to offer but just visiting on a couple of times it struck us at the amount of tourists (older men) with very young girls, no doubt the majority of these men had met the 'one' and were in 'love' ... and of course money has nothing to do with it (lol). Hua Hin on the other hand presented itself totally differently, yes there were a few Tourists with the bargirls from other resorts but it was no where as near as in your face as the likes of Pattaya, there were things to do but the pace of life was genuinely more relaxed and at a much slower pace. At nighttime in Hua Hin we found we could walk around with out the hassle we had in Pattaya. By far our favourite beach destination which is within easy traveling distance is Koh Samet. It has a mixture of everything and stunning clean beaches and the sea is very clean
Perfect point of view! Haha and I love you’re finishing your comment with Koh Samet 😍 one of the loveliest islands in Thailand. Thanks for watching
A good question, to compare two beach cities to define what they like about Hua Hin. You got more accurate answers than if you'd just asked why they like Hua Hin. I have no desire to bash Pattaya as it is very popular among many. I have never been there, but I will never forget when talking to a Thai friend about which Thailand cities I should visit beyond my usual Chiang Mai, and when I brought up Pattaya, their comment was, "Lots of prostitutes." So, of course, I quickly bought a ticket... 555, not really. I don't drink and I have a GF, so neither bars or bar girls are for me. But one day I will check it out as I travel around Thailand and make up my own mind if that was a fair assessment or not. I'd guess there is some truth to that, but also a lot of nice things the city has to offer.
Cheers mate! 😁 if you have a girlfriend you’ll definitely will enjoy somewhere else than Pattaya better 😝 have a beautiful day and night Randy 🏆
Which is better for steer etc food sha am vs hua hin.
I love that you can see the mountains from the beach.
That’s always a nice picture 😍 thanks for watching 😁🏆
Oh, Jomtien Beach is clean, Pattaya Beach has sewage issues which is why you won't see a lot of people in the water.
Pattaya is good for a short term stay where Hua Hin is more if you are looking at putting down roots to live there under a more relaxed environment. Pattaya is still a great place to go but it's not the real Thailand. It all depends on your wants and needs, appetites, addictions etc.
That’s spot on mate John. Thanks for your input there 🏆 cheers!
Try to stay in Hua Hin more than 1 month. You will run away from here it's superboring.
Toured all over Thailand now retired in Khonkaen had a 6 month stay in HuaHin loved it. There is also lots of little private beaches close by i will be moving back to HuaHin soon
Thanks Dave :) the beaches are watching for you 😊 thanks for watching 🏆
There are no private beaches in Thailand. Every beach is public.
@manatnew yes, you're right
Maybe I should of said secluded
I prefer the more laid back vibe of Huahin. It's also quite cheaper compared to Pattaya.
Nice work Champ -
It’s an interesting comparison -
I think Hua Hin is more pleasant environment for families? And overall more relaxed ???
Some excellent comments - beaches in HH cleaner & less populated.
What do you think ?
Thanks No1
Ey champ 🏆 I’ll be checking out the beaches to see if they are clean in Pattaya soon 😁 overal it’s definitely more laidback in Hua Hin :) just not so many full on parties all the time like in Pattaya
ในฐานะคนไทย คำตอบของผมคือ พัทยามีใว้สำหรับท่องเที่ยวเป็นบางเวลา หรือทำธุรกิจต่างๆมันจะดีกว่าหัวหินเเน่นอน
สำหรับหัวหิน มันเป็นเมืองที่เหมาะสำหรับพักอาศัยในวิถีชีวิตเเบบสบายๆ เเต่อันที่จริงหัวหินก็มีทุกอย่างสำหรับการใช้ชีวิตในเเบบสะดวกสบายด้วยเช่นกัน
สมบูรณ์แบบ 😁 ขอบคุณสำหรับความคิดเห็นของคุณ ฉันชอบหัวหินมาก ถึงจะเข้าใจว่าทำไมพัทยาถึงสนุกกว่าสำหรับผู้คน 🥳 ขอบคุณที่รับชม ❤️
Hua Hin is a lazy town where nothing happen and Pattaya are same as a big international city.
Hua Hin is a lazy town? Hmmm arguable ;) thanks for watching John
Would you suggest Hua Hin based on your experience. I have already been to Pattaya. Thought of visiting a nice town near by Bangkok for 2 night.
It’s very laidback compared to Pattaya. If you like Pattaya, I’d say Patong in Phuket will be better for you. But if you’re just looking at relaxing in and smaller beach city near BKK Hua Hin is definitiefs good option :)
@@Chai_Travel Thanks for your insight. I can't make it to Phuket this time as it is far from BKK.
Hua Hin is more expensive, I live in Jomtien much better price for condos than Hua Hin
You reckon? I’d say it’s about the same 🤔 :) I like Jomtien!
Good comparison . pattaya and jomtien very busy and noisy . Sea water is filthy . Looking forward to seeing Hua hin next time . I prefer location for older people.
Thanks mate :)
❤❤❤❤
Thanks for watching 🤗❤️
You can take the Ferry boat from Hua Hin to Pattaya. Only 2 hours and 15 minutes.
Nice one. I’m glad to hear it’s running again :)
How much monthly enough to live very simple life in this town Hua Hin ?
Simple life, $550.- usd I personally would spend about double. Nice enough accommodation and some western food. A few beers out and about in the weekends.
Cheers mate 👍
Cheers 🏆
The biggest problem with the Beaches in Pattaya is the fact that the sewer comes straight from the City into the Ocean, that is a well-known problem.
Further, Pattaya is in fact one big open-air Brothel, with drugs, and alcohol abuse all over the place, hence, if that is your thing, go for it.
The Beach in Pattaya is only for the Freelancers on Beachroad, not for smimming...
▪️
nice mate
Hua Hin is calmer than Pattaya.
It’s a nice place :) I gonna have to go to Pattaya soon! 🪩🕺

HuaHin gets very little rain, and it is FULL of pineapple farms (that means its extremely polluted with ethylene gas and harmful pesticides)
Pattaya in my 60s hua hin in my 70s
The first Guy Nailed it about Pattaya !!.. Very Dirty and Roach and Rat infested.. Everyone i know who came for Songkran and that Live in Pattaya was Sick after getting that Dirty Water Thrown on them and i mean Everybody.. The Lady was right about the Beach also in Pattaya you get Sewer Water Run off During the rainy season !
In the 90's Pattaya beach water was brown and scary. It's more of a sex tour kind of beach. Hua Hin I spent years going to. The best thing about Hua Hin is the food---- Koti restaurant for the best steam crab.
@ Chai has an express boat running between Hua Hin and Pattaya.🛥🛳
I’ve heard but I’m not sure if they have the service anymore. I’ll have to check it out when we’re back again 🙏 thank you
I miss Hua Hin🤗 😊🤙❤️
❤️ let’s go back 😃
I visited Hui hin is better the beach is better for family’s and it better for family’s and Pattaya ok Jomtiem is ok but Hou hin is better
Thanks for watching 😁
last i went to thailand in my early 30s i was in BKk then Pattaya then .. now, its diff im in 40's so I'll go there in Hua Hin this oct 20 😂
Hahaha, thank you for making me smile on this Sunday morning 😝 Have a great time in Hua Hin. (40s...? You're maybe too young for Hua Hin? 🤪)
Pattaya is a Bay - it's not the ocean. That's why the seawater in Pattaya area is not so clear but a little dirty. Pattaya is not the best beach.
Aaah good one. Thanks
The water in pattaya still polluted
That’s a shame. Hopefully it will change in the foreseeable future
HuaHin is boring. Good for people over 70
Haha I feel old now 😅
Pattaya is Las Vegas in America.
Not even! Las Vegas has dozens of multi-billion dollar properties to party in, Pattaya has $2 shacks with complimentary rats.
Good people go to the Heaven, but bad people go to Pattaya.😂 It's what I saw on the lots of T-shirts in Pattaya.😀
Funny t-shirt! Thanks for sharing 🏆
can you travel from Hua Hin to Pattaya by train? I would like to visit both to check out the vibe
@Mi No thanks for the information
ฉันว่าพัทยาน่าอยู่กว่านะ
จุดเทียวอยอะกว่ามากๆ
If i want to see a old Farang Tääät i come over ok
😝
11:07 😂😂
Hua Hin 3 Pattaya 2 😂
1…? 🤓
Respect, but the only people you've interviewed were indeed "Older people" as you've called them
I wouldn't call them old for a start and then, there wasn't anyone you could talk to in mid 30 to 40s?
Not at all? Really..?
I personally like Pattaya very much (not because most people associated it with)
Never been to Hua Hin, but this video is Stereotyping and that is wrong in my opinion
Thanks for your input :) I stood there for 2.5 hours and I’ve approached people of all age groups (+25). This is what came out of it. I think this video give a pretty good idea what people can expect when coming to Hua Hin. Also we’ve been to Pattaya after this to check out what is on the other side 😊 I hope you didn’t get offended by this video 🙏
I am 44 and prefer Hua Hin. How can you have an opinion if you have never even been... 🙄
Hua Hin too pricey
Compare to? :)
No it’s not
Wrong. I have been here for 2 weeks and it is way cheaper than the entertainment areas..
🙄🤣
Because Hua Hin is not an oversized brothel full of Russians.
:p point made
Pattaya is much like Phuket and the Sukhumvit area of Bangkok where the bars, sex and scammers work their magic. Never carry more than 3000 baht in cash and NEVER carry 10,000 baht notes. Reason, it gets dark, hard to see and sometimes an error is made with the help of a few drinks and thoughts of your waiter will come back with the change. I'd avoid those 3 places and try Koh Samui or one of the other islands in South Thailand.
What have I learned from this video? - Hua Hin is a good place to die🤣🤣🤣
😂
🤣🤙
Hua Hin is one of the worst destination sin the world for young people, unless they like take care of 70 year old retirees/
Haha I disagree but that’s okay I think 😜
HuaHin is so absolutely and terribly boring. It is a nightmare for a young man.
Hua Hin is obviously a more suited for a higher end level of ex pats compared to Pattaya. Better beach and a slew of golf courses with better accommodations. The beach is not world class, but tranquil and leagues superior than Pattaya..... . Rama 9 for a reason elected Hua Hin. as a retreat, and Bankokian prefer a 30 min. longer drive for quality. .... I love the push back gal on Pattaya., despite her take on Jomtien. It was a silly question to pose. These are two different markets. As I you now, young guys don't visit Pattaya nor elder woman , nor retired couples. It's full of walking dead men and awful beach. Given restricted choice, Hua Hin is an easy choice.
Haha okay I see what your saying. Thanks for watching and giving your look on it 🙏 have a great evening
LMAO....walking dead men!
