Krapow Posted September 16, 2018 Author Share Posted September 16, 2018 The more I see about Hua Hin and the surrounding area, the more I like. Just wish there was good diving there, but Krabi and it's world class dive sites are not too far away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanzalad Posted September 17, 2018 Share Posted September 17, 2018 16 hours ago, Colonel Kurtz said: Khao Sam Roi, national park. Had to cut this trip down to 4 hours (had to meet my friend living permanently at Hua Hin for lunch), left our apartment 7am, back 1pm. Khao Sam Roi Yod National park. Some 1 hour drive from Hua Hin, to the south. There are eight attractions, we did only two. One can spend a day there, I wish we could. The first one, a viewpoint In different seasons, different time of a day, what can be seen from up there Always loved to see the fields To climb up, the warning is not for nothing. A terrible and demanding climb No climbing after 15:30, an officer there to turn you back To climb up, it is a horror. No wonder travel agencies do not have that in their schedules. My daughter and myself are fit, we can do that. Even in the heat Takes 30 minutes to climb up 395m, the track is more suitable for the goats rather than for the humans Then, the prize. A fantastic view, albeit the weather was not great The pics on the net are from different seasons, different time of the days, we have what we have. There is a river/canal, later we will go for a cruise After tis, we go for the cruise, almost to kiss the drager boat The view to the other side The panel at the starting point, likely an old picture, shows something like Play Boy theme park It is not there now. If anyone knows what it was, please tell me Bye bye our view point. Descend comes next A boat for the tourists, 500THB per ride, . A couple (Philipinos) were waiting there for someone to show up. It worked out 100THB per person. The rock we conquired. Thre women hunting for shells (when it comes on your plate, you think a little where and how the shells came from) Fishing village Until th eriver mouth, there is the sand drencher boat, moving the sands Look back where we have started Will go again, to see the caves. Xmas this year or next year. Excellent @Colonel Kurtz Thanks for posting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, the humus in the Israeli place off Soi Baukhao is lovely as well. Some regional variations I find quite bland, like Iranian. But the Israeli and Turkish I love. Spoilt where I live, big Turkish community, loads of proper Turkish places, not big standard kebab shops. Have to give both places you recommend a go in January.

Captain Richard M. Colby Posted September 22, 2018 Share Posted September 22, 2018 so did we decide to post Hua Hin stuff in Central or Southern? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I think Hua Hin is more Central like Cha Am and Phetchaburi. But I think Pranburi should be included also but that is as far south as it should go. It would be not good to have Cha Am and Hua Hin in two different sections. Edited September 22, 2018 by Captain Richard M. Colby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if Hua Hin people looked at the South section they would not see that topic. And some of the cities (areas) in that section are 500 plus kilometers away. So anything say like weather would be of no interest. If someone posted something about the weather in Cha Am it is only 20 minutes away from Hua Hin.

Life doesn't all revolve around the Hilton although for single guys I doubt they would need anywhere else. So much to do around the city. I did a Hua Hin blog on another forum, maybe I will get Phil to lift it. A lot of good info and links, some may be out of date but pertinent details for those traveling in the area. Horizondave would love you to start a blogg on HH. We tended to use the Anantara and Marriott to put up overspill (couldn’t fit them all in when they turned up mob handed) relations and once used The Hilton. Problem now is Fri-Mon, the hotels north of The Royal Palace are gridlocked with the weekend traffic. Marriot looks a lot better since they had a makeover a few years ago and as you say, night market just across the road and some good bars within walking distance. Kao Tao has grown beyond recognition, back then it was just a dirt track down to a couple of ramshackle wooden fish restaurants. Then the City Council extended the road and now large condos and expensive hotels have sprung up. The Chiva Som probably the most expensive one. Hua Hin is still a good place for a visit, because everything is within reach, as long as you pick the right time to get where you’re going. 😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanzalad Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 The thing is with the software Blog, Clubs and the standard forum core system is more or less three of the same core programs running side by side.. Now for that reason alone for them running side by side. its running in a sense of three different languages and rules so they don't clash. So this makes it incompatible to each other... The only way its done is to manually import your own post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
