Hello folks,

I am back from my trip to Huahin.

An overview of my 4D3N at Huahin,
we took the coach, 4 hours journey, around $120 for 2 way and 4 pax in total.

Huahin, is kinda boring.
We took our car rental in day 2 and 3, via this agent call Peter.
Not bad, good service.

These are the places that we went and my thoughts about them:

Maruekhathaiyawan Palace Hua Hin (Palace of Love & Hope) - overkilled, didn't know that the king actually stay such place.. I guess it was his love motel during his time. can avoid.

Hua Hin Night Market - good to go, cheap stuff

Cicada Market - interest place, big area. can have your dinner there.

Hua Hin Floating Market
Sam Phan Nam Floating Market
- don't bother to go. it's artificial.. a waste of time

Hua Hin Railway Station - nice, can take a lot of pictures.

Hua Hin Hills Vineyard - long journey and expensive.
had wine and food but felt overkilled.
The wine is one of the lousiest, sour and plain.. I hate sour grapes..

Wat Huay Mongkol, the Big Buddha - magnificent, worth the go.

Santorini Park @ Cha-Am - nice place, worth the go for photo taking. free carpark, tourist pricing.

Wat Khao TaKiab - aka monkey hill, not bad. just go for sight seeing.

Pa-la-U waterfall - went but since need to pay like 300 baht per pax and charges for car. we decided that we could do better with our 1230 baht instead.

KIV
Swiss Sheep Farm @ Cha-Am
Plearnwan Eco Vintage Village
Khao Luang Cave
Camel Republic

didn't really have much time to go... as weather is a killer.. it's hot and humid..

overall, I felt huahin is 6/10..
can go if you never been before.
its nothing fantastic and more toward layback life style.
fewer tourist nowadays, I guess they felt the same.

Thanks for your trip report. Usually Hua Hin is good for 2 day/ 3 days, too long will bore you lol. Good to go with BKK if you have a week to spend.

one of the reason i told you to get a nice resort is to nua and enjoy the place.

but hua hin got many things to do just that you didn't go explore

Is there any bus from Hua Hin City?
Been searching but website only shows HH to BKK.

when do you intend to go?
if I not mistaken, the advance booking only allows 1 month before the departure date, hence unavailable.

I must say, I do have high expectation before going to huahin..
after all, its a tourist hotspot and king's retreat..

hello,

the arrival and departure location is the same, if you are taking the coach back.
Better to do advance booking to ensure your seats availability.
