Located about four hours south of Bangkok and equipped with an endless white sandy beach, Hua Hin has long been a popular destination for people from Bangkok. Formerly mainly for the rich, now also for others.
Our two days here were enough to visit the sights that are quickly covered in the travel guide: the beach, the market, the old train station, and the many seafood restaurants.
But that does not devalue the city. It offers many beautiful beachfront hotels, appealing restaurants, and bars. We took a long long walk on the beach and were not unhappy about the clouds. The hill with the temple Khao Takiap offers a beautiful view and is home to a large monkey colony The night market offers the usual clothes and souvenirs. By chance, we came across an interesting 'procession', which was explained to us upon request as an 'ordination ceremony'. At first, we thought it was Christopher Street Day ;-)The train station is really pretty with its wooden decorations. But for us, the two nights were enough because the next destination is even more tempting....
