Cha-am Huahin , Thailand

" Hua Hin " is known as a famous resort town of Thailand located to a province name Prachuap Khiri khan. Since it's only 3 hours away from bangkok which make Hua Hin become an interesting place to visit once you come to Thailand.

There are  so many attractived places in Hua Hin worthly to visit such as Thai temples on mountain (Kao Takiab) , Hua Hin beach, Aquarium at Manaw bay, Night street markets in Hua hin city , Pa La-u Water fall , Hua Hin Hill Vine yard ..etc.

  How to get to Hua Hin   

•   Without the  car you can go easily by Van or  Bus .   

You can tell the driver to drop you on the way  but the last stop will be at the Clock Tower near Hua Hin Market.

  There are at least 2 stations of van and bus. (Bangkok-Hua Hin).   

1. Victory Monument BTS station. ( It's in centre of bangkok Sukhumvit road ).

2. Bus terminal (Sai Tai Mai) at Taling chan district. ( Kinda suburb of bangkok ).

  Returning ( Hua Hin - Bangkok  )  

1. Van stop at Phetkasem road (in Hua Hin city) there're so many stations you can get the van return to bangkok such as in front of Market village mall, Near Hua Hin night market Or Near the old cinema (Opposite to Hua Hin market).

2. Bus station is near to Hua Hin train station ( At the back of Hua Hin market ).

Ticket price for the van is  200 baht.

Ticket price for the (AC) bus is  180 baht. 

** Please get the price updated from bus terminal website.** 

From my own experience I don't feel so good with van service as inside the van is really uncomfortable. air-condition doesn't work very well and they drove very fast , family with kids may not feel so safe. So I prefer the bus as they don't drive so fast (Sometime too slow lol ) . But the driver has very good manner , air conditioner work properly it's easy and comfortable traveling tho, the bus will drop you at the bus station near the market where you can get the Tuk Tuk easily to get to hotel.

And If you want to travel by train you can also get on the train at Hualamphong station in Bangkok. (Advance booking is recommended). And it's the slowest way to get to Hua Hin. 

•   By car  

There are two route from bangkok to Hua Hin. The shorter one is along Thonburi-Pakho Road, Via Samut Songkhram, Petchkasem Highway and along the route to Prachuab Khirikhan.
( You can rent a car also if you had credit card and driving license ).

For few hours on the way to Hua Hin you'll see such natural with fresh breeze and rice farms at the both sides of road. 

And on the way of returning to Bangkok you'll have you face with kinda terrible traffic on Phetchakasem road as Hua Hin is at the first choice for Bangkok people to take some rest on weekend. 

So If you gotta get to the Airport after Hua Hin trip you should fix the time of leaving to make sure that you will not miss your flight. 

  Fresh and Tasty Sea Food is the thing that you expect when

  you visit the beach city but do not expect so much for

  Hua Hin especially in hotels and restaurant on the beach.

  If you wanted fresh and delicious seafood dishes I advise you

  to visit Hua Hin Market as the price of food there isn't too

  expensive and delicious too.

 If you wanted to enjoy night life you should go near to

 Hilton hotel as that side there are restaurants
 where you can sit and chillax near the beach.
There are small pubs and bars  on the both side of streets.

 But as Hua Hin is kinda place for family you won't see that

 many bars same as in Pattaya. Or you may visit the place

 near to Takiab Hill there is a night market and alcohol bars

 near by.

In Hua - Hin city is pretty crowd on the weekend just like
 the whole Bangkok has moved to this city.

Hua Hin beach isn't so clean and you may get confuse
where actually to see the beach in Hua Hin ( It's near to Hilton there are shower rooms on service).
It's absolutely crowded by people and local product shops.

So for more peaceful I prefer Manaw bay but It's quite far away from Hua Hin city about 1 hour. (If you took the bus you'd need to buy ticket to Prachuap KhiriKhan
not Hua hin station.
But here the beach is more beautiful the sea is more clean
 and ofcos less people.
There's aquarium to visit also for family with kids.

    

    Then 

       You

        will

Cruise dinner along chaopraya river @ bangkok

On weekend we planed to have dinner with Alisha's grand ma on the cruise which travel along Chaopraya river, as I remember last time I visited the cruise it's been 5-6 years back ,Chaopraya river is the largest river of Thailand which continue to another rivers in another provinces.  It's really nice to have dinner with family and got impressed by the beautiful views of  Chaopraya river.

My mother made a reservation since one day earlier to make sure that we will get seats for everyone, our dining table is on  terrace of the cruise, so we can see clearly beautiful views from the both sides of Chaopraya river & open air give better feeling than sitting in air conditioner room on the first floor.  We've arrived to The River Side Hotel  on 6 pm & did check in.  The cruise depart from hotel port on 8 pm. Here we go...

There are Chinese,  European, Japanese food on ala cart menu

Mostly people is on bulwarks to see views while we started eating.

Opp!! Uncle passed Alisha a glass of beer lol

Thai temples on the river side.

Had really nice time with family one of good experience for having dinner on cruise .
