Another s out past massage shops,still nothing,then drove about 15 min south to suan son beach,large Chang and time to 😎 It might sound grim for mongering durin the day,but from what i seen last night quick drive about bar areas,bintibht,walking st,soi 80,94,new bars,theres plenty action to be had,only im with my girl so i dont stop for a drink,but ive seen a few girls i d definitely would take. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom51red Posted November 29, 2022 Author Share Posted November 29, 2022 (edited) 20221129_100824.mp4 After dropping the girl at work,decided to head for wat mongkol as not to hot yet and will try to avoid to much sun as overdid last couple of days. As always it's the contrasting colours and attention to detail of the structure s,statues and peacefulness that makes it a worthwhile visit,being before 9am was really quite too. Not sure what's happening to the big Buddha behind wat mongkol,it's never been finished and now it seems to have fallen into a bit of a state. The last 2 photos is from a temple in hua hin up the hill towards mongkol. Edited November 29, 2022 by Phantom51red 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Small free bus from shop area to statues,walked back as trying to keep up and over 10,000steps a day. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samsung a52,one of the joys I find before buying new phone is watchin all the great YouTube videos out there,can't remember why I settled on this one but photos,screen size,and being able to add extra card for space was important,think one of the newer expensive Samsung s you couldn't add extra gb.

Unfortunately the S22 doesn't take a micro SD card. Not sure why they have dropped it. Maybe trying to get more people to use cloud storage. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I remember now watching the reviews and this was deciding factor not to buy it ,tho i really liked the camera capabilities on it,bad move imo.

Done the walk 3 times from the car park, probably would have trouble doing it now as older and not as fit but the view when walking over the mountain is amazing. The trek up the hill to the cave is pretty tough, the first time I did it I was shocked as a guidebook said it was a short walk up the hill (about 150 meters), trouble is the walk was longer but probably during the hike it probably rose 150 feet. Wonderful view when in the cave, well worth the hike. Got to see many dusky langurs while walking along the beach, they were just sitting there in the trees staring, beautiful creatures. You have probably seen them at Ao Manao in Prachuap Khiri khan as well. Love that part of the coast south of Hua Hin. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant, ye I never get the boat either,it's only 1/2 klm from xar Park to main trail,the langurs are great,never seen any today but I bet they were watching from afar,seen a couple of makaks which surprised me,its a great day out tho,and keeps the legs moving.👍 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, when it really comes down to it that's kind of what it's all about. A little slice of "freedom". I can pick up a few things at a grocery store. Have the perfect meal in mind as I am leaving the store. Two hours later I'm eating something completely different. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Golfingboy Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 (edited) @Phantom51redGreat collection of pics TFP. Years ago after 8 month trip, was getting back on my feet & lived with a mate for few months. Didn’t bother installing cable, he just bought a few DVD’s & we watched them over & over. One was Ali… Anyway your post above about scouting massage shops, girls were 6-7’s triggered my memory. I remember this quick scene in a hotel room because I’ve watched it 10+ times….Muhammad’s Dad & Jamie Foxx are getting drunk, while Ali argues with his 1st wife(Jada his real wife-the slap!). He grabs her to speak in private, so the 2 drunks say “Whoa that girl is a 10….you ever had a TEN ?” ”No…..but I had me FIVE good 2’s” ! Priceless…..

Phantom51red Posted December 12, 2022 Author Share Posted December 12, 2022 Ive had a busy past week with visits to ao manao,dolphin bay,khao khalok,cha am again ect,,my phone usb input has been on the blink for 2 days since i went canoeing off dolphin bay,was planning to canoe to the island across,but got real choppy,so turned back,but phone got wet, usb part i thought was kaput,its charging now thank buddha,so hopefully get some new photos in next few days,that ll be an adventure to go back to dolphin bay for tho as never been to the 2 small island s,i noticed while in ao manao the gate to go up the mountain was open i was feeding the monkeys around there,it might of been because thai holiday was day before and they left it open by mistake,anyhow next time i go back this week sometime,ill take my trainers,gloves ect in case its open again i will go up again hopefully. Bars are still quite here,odd one busy,plenty of falang families here tho,the xmas trees and lights outside blueport mall must be some of the biggest in thailand 4 trees and lights hanging from the real trees, looks great. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
