Hua Hin is relatively new travel location. Most people visit Bangkok and include Pattaya. Both Hua Hin and Pattaya is beach area near Bangkok and offer a relaxing trip far from the busy metropolitan of Bangkok. Pattaya is very developed tourist location. You can find many pub, bar, beach side hotel and many more to relax there. Hua Hin on the other hand is a new location. The hotel is more concentrate on honey moon type vacation. Relaxing on the beach. But the Thai Tourism is encouraging investor to open new tourist location in Hua Hin. Thus this will be a popular new spot for the coming few years.
Hua Hin require about 2 hours of car drive to reach. Thus you need to arrange for a taxi or van to reach there. Depend on the type of car that you get, the fee for a day can range from 5000 baht to 7000 baht. Most hotel lobby has a small counter that can help you arrange for the car. They also can show you interesting things to do at Hua Hin so that you can choose first. Make your choice carefully. Most of the driver has poor English understanding. So if you wish to change your location or plan, you might have trouble doing it.
The first destination for this trip is to visit a very old train station. Maeklong Train Station.
This train station is famous because the train need to pass thru a market to reach this station.
And thus create a one and only experience in this world where the market peddler need to keep their things when the train pass.
The video above is taken from Youtube. The van fail to reach on time due to many issue. Thus we miss the train. The next train need 2 hour to reach us. So we decide to take some photo and then left.
Next stop is the Santorini Park. This is a new theme park at Bangkok that is build with Santorini style building. White cube type buiding with ocean blue window frame.
Some of the photo from the park. The park offer some ride, and Trick Art Museum.
The shop here also looks interesting. Tourist can enjoy a cup of coffee here. The sun is very hot on the day of our visit. Thus, most of us do not want to take the ride. The ferris wheel for example, should offer a nice view of the place if the weather is a bit colder.
Next stop is Swiss Sheep Farm. Inside one can see sheep, horse and alpaca. You can also ride the horse here. Again the weather is very hot and you can see from the photo, there isn't much place to cover you. Thus we just take photo from outside and did not enter the farm.
We discuss a bit and feel there is not much nice restaurant in this area. Plus most of the other location for visit such as Venice theme mall, is more for shopping. Thus we decide to head back Bangkok for dinner. My other friend can then go to clubbing at night.
Turn out to be a wonderful choice as rain start to fall. When we reach the hotel, the rain is very heavy and can notice the traffic jam. I spend the rest of the night in hotel and do some work. Haiz... That is what will happen when you also bring laptop to vacation.
This night at 12am, I celebrate my 2013 Birthday. Happy Birthday to myself. Lots of things happen for year 2013 and I miss my 2012 Birthday. Because that year, I celebrate the birthday at Tokyo.
只剩下youtube和 Heineken陪我过夜。
脫下我的外衣 蓋在你的胸前
你熟睡呼吸 滿身酒氣
每次你突然按門鈴 說要喝一杯
就像頑皮的孩子 要糖吃
你我這樣關係 也算一種默契
你不想聊的 我不會提
我不要給你有壓力 只要你開心
偶爾一點小情緒 我自己撫平
我可以一杯接著一杯 只為了你想要喝醉
在你迷濛眼神裡 彷彿才有我的美
我可以一杯接著一杯 只要你留在我身邊
就當做是一時氣氛美 也足夠我反覆的回味
其實我願意 隨時為了你乾杯
因為半夢半醒間 你才擁著我入睡
