Hua Hin

[Mr Scand]

Baan Nilrath Hotel is very good and about 25 / night. Conveniently located between Soi 80 and Soi Bintabaht.

Thanks, will check it out.

Interesting comment about only a single high tide per day. I've done coastal boating for decades and have never seen a place with a single high tide per day. I didn't notice it in Hua Hin.

If you look at the link below you will see only one tide a day. It also shows the strange profile where the tide appears reluctant to go out on some days.

High tide is about 10pm tonight, but it's about 6am tomorrow before it starts going out properly.

Any other suggestion?

I have stayed at the Anchan before and was happy with it Also stayed at the Fresh Inn right across from the Hilton. Mainly switched to Fresh Inn because they have an elevator.

Thanks for info.

I will be in Hua Hin (first time) in end of June and early July and looking at Anchan hotel (room at the poolside) or Visa hotel.

Its lending towards Anchan, just out of looking att the bookingsite pictures. Any thoughts about this two hotels? Any other suggestion?

Not that sensitive about prices but Hilton for example don't seem better than the above.

The beaches are fine, but don't forget that when the tide comes in it covers up the beach completely on some days, so no wandering along the high tide line. Also there's only one high tide a day and it follows a strange pattern. Sometimes the tide starts to go out a bit and then stops, before going out again. Most times it takes twice as long to go out as come back in again.

That's a good point about the water fully covering the beach. Last trip to Hua Hin I picked a nice beachfront hotel well north of city center and found that the water came all the way to the hotel's sea wall. Only low tide left a beach that could be walked.

Hi all, I am considering Hua Hin for my next trip as Phuket has become really messy and expensive. The question I have though is: apart from mongering are there nice beaches in the area? From google maps it's hard to understand, and with Phuket I am a bit spoilt in that respect. Thanks for any response on that.

Yes, Hua Hin has some nice beaches, but not as good as Phuket. I have been to Phuket once and Hua Hin many times.

The beaches at Hua Hin and the surrounding area are just fine. Hua Hin is a totally different experience but worthwhile. You should know the mongering scene is far smaller there as well.

I will be going to Hua Hin next weekend and I'm looking for some smaller, out of the way places that I might get a FS massage with a young spinner type. I really hate going to crowded places and feeling like I'm on display or worrying about losing my job because the wrong person sees me taking a girl out of a gogo.

An escort could also work if there's a good place for that. I will also look on ThaiFriendly, which is still one of my favorite methods.

Take a look at the massage shops on Poonsuk near Hua Hin 57 end, also around the corner both ways on Hua Hin 57, plus onto the northern end of Naebkerhardt, or along Selakam Road running off Poonsuk. Another place to try is Meesub 88 Massage at the front of Visa Hotel (where I always stay), they have quite a few young ones working there every time I stop, and yes half the time they have offered up sex quite easily.

Could someone tell me where to catch the bus from BKK or is it pretty easy to find?

Should I book ahead of time and is it flexible if my plane is delayed? Can I just get on later bus?

Anyone down to meet will be there from Feb 20-23.

Cheers.

New 1st-class bus service from Bangkok airports to Hua Hin, Pattaya.

On level 1 (by door 8 I believe) you will see a ticket booth for Pattaya / Hua Hin. Buy your ticket there and they will point you in the right direction. I did not buy ticket ahead of time and had no problem. This was in October. I think buses leave every 30 minutes with the last leaving at 5 PM. It wasn't a long walk to the buses.
