My I suggest you to do 2 days Hua Hin 2 days Bkk. Land at Bkk rent a car drive down to Hua hin. Go stay at a nice resort enjoy the resort and sight seeing.

Back to Bkk return the car and go enjoy the food and massage.

Just my suggestion.

Jan.. Peak season for them i think..

Yup ... but some hotels wont be that expensive also ...
from apr to jul, hotel prices quite cheap ...
3* can go as low as 27sgd to 30+ per nite just few min walk from junceylon mall ...
4* about 50+
if peak period, price can go as high as double or more for some hotels ...
