  • 🏖️ Hua Hin is a beautiful Thailand beach city in which to visit or retire. Check out our 2023-2024 Hua Hin travel guide and see the Hua Hin best things to do and the best things to see, including some fun and unique things you won't usually see, like the Sea Animal Release in which you can participate for free, and the Artists' Village. And if you are interested in Hua Hin hotels on the beachfront, we will also show you what we think is one of the best hotels in Hua Hin, the Let's Sea Hua Hin Al Fresco. We will show you our room's private rooftop deck with a jacuzzi tub and sun bed. And of course we will check out the most popular locations, like Khao Takiap (Chopstick Hill), the Hua Hin night market (Tamarind Night Market), Fisherman's Village, and of course... the beach!
    Hua Hin is only a three-hour drive from Bangkok and a 70 minute flight from our home city of Chiang Mai. It has a small but international airport with many flights available. You can also come by train and arrive at Hua Hin's historic train station. Join us in our Hua Hin travel guide and check out what Hua Hin has to offer. Whether you spell it correctly or as Wa Hin or Wah Hin, we think it is one of Thailand's nicest "big little" beach town. By the way the correct pronunciation is not Who-a Hin, as westerners always so, It is the H sound followed by "wa". Listen to Joy say it and you'll get it perfectly and be one of the few foreigners to Thailand to do so.

    Excellent video! I went to Hua Hin during Covid times so it was quite empty, but I loved the beach and the choice for restaurants around town. I had there the best Som Tam of my life and one of the best Pad khra pao moo. I even made a video of it on my channel 😁

My wife and I had gone off the boil about retiring in Thailand but a couple of months in the North of Thailand during the UK winter is now appealing. Thanks and keep posting the vidoes, Kev 👍

      Yes, a fun trip. The monkeys there were not like some regions with super aggressive monkeys, grabbing food and belongings from people. I was told it was because the temple fed them so they were not so hungry and needing to take things. But it does feel a bit scary as they swarm around you.

    At 08:12...so, are you saying that it's cheaper to book the room that includes breakfast rather than paying for breakfast separately?

    • @RetiredGlobalLife
      @RetiredGlobalLife  9 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I think online we paid an extra $1,00 baht ($35 or so) for two breakfast for two days, so four meals, so about $8+ each, and if you buy their fancy breakfast it is 850 baht a pop, so about $100 for four meals. So cheaper getting it as part of your reservation. There are many options when you reserve. Take care.

      We are all different. Can't believe you'd say that. The beaches are not crowded, clear water, ocean life everywhere, nice people and good cheap food. Are you comparing it to SE Asian cities or other countries. SE Asia is a different world than say, Hawaii, or the south of France, so you can't compare the two.
