I'm sure you'll love it. It's rather lovely here and not too crowded

[Linde]

Thank you.... Tired of places like Phuket, Koh Samui etc etc... too crowed for my liking.

I loved Hua Hin on my first visit there. I spent a month relaxing and exploring the seaside town. Highly recommended.

I have travelled a bit in Thailand, and for my money i think Hua hin is the best in terms of location, though i have to say, untill you learn, things can be expensive for the farang.[see other thred 2 tier pricing]

[Linde]

Oic.... Hopefully being Asian I won't face the "farang" problem....
(honestly I don't think so.... Can't speak a word of Thai)
counting down the days to reaching HH.
Btw... Was wondering is there any budget transportation from bkk airport to HH?

[lilmolfie]

Hate to break it to you Linde but unless you're a local or a Thai national who isn't married to a farang then you will most certainly get stung... my mum is Thai but get's stung and one can only presume it's because I am obv. not fully Thai :/ I'd imagine the train or bus would be really cheap. We came by taxi and that cost about 1500B but I'm positive you can get cheaper

*and I meant a Thai local at that

[Linde]

Thank u.... That's very helpful.... I almost book a cab over the Internet..... 2800B.
Btw, where can I find a taxi that comes to HH from airport?

[lilmolfie]

Now gonna find the number for ya....

[lilmolfie]

I spoke to mum and she said if you ring direct then they will charge more (2 tier pricing) but if you get a Thai to ring then expect to pay no more than 2000B MAX. She said if you need a hand booking a taxi she'll happily ring them for you. She doesn't like getting ripped of as much as the next person tbh

[lilmolfie]

@Linde - no not at all. She offered. She likes to be helpful. I think it gives her a purpose in life lol
