I woke up this morning and went out on the deck of my guesthouse -- it's built on a pier right over the shore so you get to fall asleep to the sound of waves. I had my coffee and bananas and soaked up the sun as it was rising over the horizon ... can't think of a better way to start the day. The multi-story ritzy Hilton is right next door, but for 400 baht a night ($13), I wouldn't trade places for the world ...
Hua Hin is a laid back resort town, kinda quaint with a fantastic night market with yummy cheap food (spicy curry noodles for less than $1). What's not so nice is that it has a definite sleaze factor to it.... mixed in with the families, couples and backpackers are the old, ugly white men (sorry if I offend anybody) arm-in-arm with very young, attractive Thai women/girls. Certain alleys are lined with Thai hookers trawling for foreign men.... And because I look Thai, I've had several of these men eyeing me or trying to say hello ... blech! I just give'em my "Naomi glare" and move on...
Aside for that, I do like this town ... nice and mellow with a nice beach within walking distance.
