Hua Hin

[HorseTrader]

I'm going to make a quick call for you.

You're in luck and I think going to love Hua Hin.

I spotted very very many 35-45 yo's in the bars and massage shops, and lots of them are on the shapely toned to thin side.

That's music to my ears, thanks! I'll be spending 3 of the next 5 months in Thailand and although I have a primary girl she is unable to travel the whole time with me. I'll bring her to the lesser punting destinations such as Kanchanaburi, Chiang Mai, and Chaing Rai. I'll travel alone to the locations that are prime for my particular punting style. Your posts plus those from AggieDad1 firmly places Hua Hin on the latter class of destinations.

I was taken there by a girl at 3 am. Since I was not sober at the time I don't know if I can find my way back. LOL. Not sure what the name of the bar we ended up at but it was small and had a kareoke machine. Good thing my girl was still sober enough to lead me out of that maze.

She was probably likewise not sober.

She just knew where she was and had kicked on auto pilot.

Just returned from two weeks in Hua Hin. I fully agree with your posts and you did an excellent job of describing the situation in Hua Hin. I did make it to Soi 94 one Saturday night and liked it. It was different than Soi Bintabaht or Soi 80 in that it is more of an area than just a road with bars. More of a younger crowd there.

I had been in Hua Hin in May and also saw a more active Hua Hin this trip.

Thanks for your reinforcement of my views at AggieDad1.

I've liked Soi 94 when I've gone there.

But I always found it just that bit location inconvenient compared to Bintabaht and Soi 80.

You just can't get a hotel really convenient to all three.

And as I start my evenings near home, I tend not to travel other than walking.

Even tho transport is cheap and readily available, tuk tuk motorbike taxi, etc.

For others I will give a thumbnail of Soi 94.

It has three areas.

The monger tourist and expat oriented, beer bar groups, aka OTOP and thatched huts, plus scattered bars up the eastern, railway line end.

Then heading west, you get massage shops, restaurants and single bars.

At the other end you have bigger restaurants, open air music bar / restaurants, and lots of medium sized bars.

This end is more resident expat and family oriented, be it Thai or tourist, as well as monger tourist oriented.

Your posts are appreciated. I've wanted to visit Hua Hin for years and will probably do so between now and March. Haven't decided to bring a girl or go solo.

Do you recommend Hua Hin as a BYOG destination? I like them thin and and older (35 to 45), though I occasionally opt for much younger.

I spotted very very many 35-45 yo's in the bars and massage shops, and lots of them are on the shapely toned to thin side.

And the bonus with Hua Hin is that most of them don't have the big city working girl attitudes you find in Bangkok and Pattaya.

As to taking a girl with you, well you don't need to, but if you have one you've found bring her along.

I have done so before (Bangkok girl), and had a great time in the bars and clubs.

The mamasans and working girls I found, and have also watched many times, have the friendliest of attitudes, even towards out of town working girls.

Just so long as the girl is friendly back.

The reason for this is that most of the girls live where they work, so they are with other girls pretty much 24/7.

Due to this, the ones that don't get on easily with others, living close quarters, move on out of Hua Hin.

So what you have left are working girls of a generous, engaging, even charming and welcoming character.

One last point.

The working girls in Hua Hin are cheaper than Bangkok per day, and likely would be all up cheaper than a "travelling girl" from Pattaya would be.

Plus the Hua Hin girls will readily stay long time and extended with you.

There are no drink quotas, drinks only girls (unless on monthly time out), or anything like that to be seen anywhere.

And the highest bar fine anywhere was just 500 baht for overnight.

This is the area that has always kicked on late at night in Hua Hin, opening around 10:30 pm, but hitting its straps after midnight.

Around midnight the high $ freelancers are there, meeting point Sam Sam Bar.

But from 1-2 am that's when the bar girls turn up after their bars close, and punting pickups become easier.

The hub later moves from Sam Sam Bar to Hua Hin Cat Club, aka Polo Club, and keeps going until around 4 am.

It's a hard area to find unless you're taken there by one that knows of it.

It has two ways in, one meandering in off Soi 61, or the easier one of the Hilton road, looking for the Sam Sam Bar sign.

Either enter Sam Sam Bar and try your luck there, or walk past its entrance door about 5-10 m, turn left and wander down past the bars until you hit Polo Club.

Its just 30 m down.

I think you can find what you are looking for in Hua Hin. But, it would also be a great place to bring a girl too. If you are only going for a couple of days bring a girl and check out the environment and then on a latter trip come back solo. If you are going for a longer stay go solo I am sure you can find what you are looking for with in a day or too. I stayed at the Fresh Inn across from the Hilton and one morning got on the elevator with my lady for the night and a lady who meets the description you gave. My lady latter told me the other girl worked at "Paradise" bar.

When I was last in Hua Hin in June, the Bintabaht precinct was on serious life support, really really struggling.

I'm pleased to say that it probably had a lot more businesses open than before, maybe 60-70% of shops now open in the precinct overall.

The most pleasing was that pretty much everything on Walking Street was open, even the open air beer bar zone was refurbished with every "stall" occupied.

Sadly, the quality of girls throughout the precinct was poor, as I can't recall seeing a single standout girl.

And the only young girls, SYT's, seen were dreaded coyote dancers.

My impression was "green shoots", which hopefully will grow with high season, as there were reasonable numbers of tourists around.

At the moment there would have been 100 plus bargirls there, and with success more will come.

Head north from Bintabaht and the sois transition from bars into 50:50 bars and massage.

Then into full massage along the end of Soi Poonsuk onto Soi 57, plus Soi Naebkehardt and Soi 55.

This area had seemed to me to be little affected in the past with shop closures, but where before a shop would have 1 maybe 2, now they have 3 maybe 4 working.

A reasonable spread of age, looks, and sizes, I saw far more that were of interest to me than I had time to sample.

What I can say is that there was probably around 100 ML FS providers in this area, and BBFS, CIP was reasonably available.

It was pretty much a healthy shoulder season business as usual I felt.

Just finished a 3 N2 D mini visit to Hua Hin and experienced it enjoying a 3 day bar party atmosphere around Halloween on a Saturday Sunday Monday. Straight upfront I will mention I didn't get down to Soi 94 which had previously been the happening place, and I'm told still was. Where I did hit was Soi Bintabaht / Walking Street, Polo Club precinct, and Soi 80. As well as browsing the Soi 57 massage precinct. I will post my impressions / opinions in a series of posts over the next few days.

Just an upfront disclaimer.

I like Hua Hin very much and get there four to five times a year.

And on this visit again I saw more than enough to draw me back again.

[BlackThought]

Just got back home from spending five days in Hua Hin. First trip to Hua Hin and second trip to Thailand. First trip was in 2018 to Phuket. Stayed at the Anchan Hotel on Soi Poon Suk, about a block from Soi Bintabaht. Hotel was nice, but no lift and stairs can be treacherous if you have had one too many. It was a short trip and my original plan was divide my stay between Hua Hin and Pattaya. I liked Hua Hin enough to stay the entire five days in Hua Him. Hua Hin is still not very busy with bars being lucky if they get four or five customers a night. Prices were about 2000 baht long time, but I am sure you can get a lower price if you want to haggle. I never paid a bar fine since all bars close at midnight and would just take a girl back to my room after the bar closed. The quality of the girls on Soi Bentabaht is not great. But it is not hard to find one with a great body. One of the girls took me to the night market one night for dinner and so we passed by Soi 80 and Soi 94. The bars on those Soi's looked more active but the quality of women did not make me want to venture there. Understand that I am 67 and in good shape but prefer a quieter bar. Never had a problem finding a companion in the bars around my hotel. Plenty of massage places around too. I only got one massage while in Hua Hin from a cute young girl. Hand job was offered at the end and I am sure more was available with negotiation. One word of caution, several bars have obvious ladyboys working there from what I saw.

How much is the happy ending hand jobs at the massage spots? Quick google search says 500 baht tip, is that still the case?

This thread is dead so I thought I would add my experience here. Thanks to some of the guys on the Bangkok forum who gave me some go9 d intel on Hua Hin.

I arrived Bangkok last Friday night and since it was pouring rain when I woke up Saturday morning I checked the weather app and it said that the weather in Hua Hin was good for the next 2 days. I checked the price for the Maven Stylish Hotel on PetchKasem Rd and it was 1800 thb per night including breakfast so decided to book the hotel. Let me tell you the location of the hotel is fantastic. It was in close proximity to Soi 55, Soi 57, Soi 80, Soi 94, and Soi Bintibaht.

From Bangkok Sukhumvit to Huahin the price I paid via Grab was 2108 thb. The journey took 3 hours and I was at the Maven Stylish Hotel in HuaHin by 12 Noon. Let me tell you all. Hua Hin is very quiet. A little too quiet for my liking but I can understand why some of the foreigners there enjoy the peace and tranquility at this little beach town. Taxi's are not easily accessible so I decided to rent a scooter during my 2 days there. If you walk outside of the hotel and immediately to your left near the massage shop you will see scooters for rent at 180 thb per day..

Glad you at least found enough there to enjoy your time.

Sad that it was as quiet as you found, I can assure you it does get livelier than that.

[ThaiGoodTimes]

It is still low season and sounds like Hua Hin is quieter than when I was there in May. Great report and sounds like you had an enjoyable trip.

Agreed, it does sound like it is quieter than my last two visits also in June.

[ThaiGoodTimes]

You know that saying to each their own. I think if I was in my 60's I would have really enjoyed it there and not felt out of place. In general it seems the girls there are older.

It is quite bemusing that point about age.

Yes, the general age of most you see is older than say in Bangkok, and Pattaya.

The early to mid 20's girls aren't so much found in Hua Hin, whereas the late 20's to 30's girls abound.

But, it is the hidden gems of the SYT's, the teens, 18, 19, and just hit 20's, that are new to the game, raw, immature, innocent even.

It is those that I have always, without fail, managed to find a few of in Hua Hin on every visit (multiple times per year).

Something that on the bar and massage circuits in Bangkok and Pattaya I have very very very rarely ever seen.

Yes, I have seen them there in go gos, but at exorbitant prices, controlled and conditioned quickly by gogo mamasan minders.

And oh so quickly they lose their youthful freshness and start to play games, in just weeks normally.

Whereas in Hua Hin, a SYT freshie, still mostly has those innocent airs for a few months.
