Hua Hin Thailand - My First Impressions
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 вер 2024
- Welcome to my first day in the town of Hua Hin, I've only been here for a few hours, but let me tell you, Hua Hin has already stolen my heart. The positive vibes are absolutely contagious, and today i share my early thoughts about the place.
In this vlog, I kickstart my Hua Hin adventure by renting a motorcycle - the best way to explore this charming town. Next stop, the beach! 🏖️ Hua Hin's coastline is something i’ve heard good things about, and my first glimpse of it was good.
To cap off the first day, I head to the famous and vibrant atmosphere of the Hua Hin Night Market. It was early when i arrived, so i still haven’t seen it at it’s best.
Stay tuned for more Hua Hin vlogs, where I'll be driving around on the bike and finding out more about this paradise town.

LOVE THE VIDS WAYNE....Your style of Vlog helps me gain tons of insight before I travel there this year
Thank you, I appreciate that. 🙏
Came across this city on google maps when I was just randomly looking at Thailand’s geography. Thanks for giving me an even better reason to visit it 😁
No worries, hope the videos can help 😃
very timely Wayne, I arrive in Hua Hin in 2 weeks. A suggestion: When you park your bike, turn on google maps and mark the spot where you are. Never lose your bike again. 👍👍🙏🙏
I always do that mate, still lose the bike sometimes 🤣. Have a good time in Hua Hin buddy 👌
Great video. Enjoy Hua Hin.
Thank you 🙏
Oh, wonderfull you came to HH. We bought a house there 4 months ago. Of cource we have been some time in HH before we bougjt, but we love it. Look very much forward to follow you as you seems to find some special places.
We come back next month, maybe we meet in the town 😊😊😊
Nice! From what I've seen so far, I really like Hua Hin. I'm not sure I'll still be in Hua Hin next month but I know I'll be returning. Thanks.
Hua Hin is on my list, thanks for showing us around.
I'm liking the place so far 👍
Good for you. I once loved the thought of Chaing Mai till I survived 3 intense smoke seasons and ended up on an inhaler. I'm currently considering Cha-Am and Hua Hin. Truthfully, I'm in love with Prachuap Khiri Khan about 1.5 hours south of Hua Hin. I hope you make it down there on this trip.
Nice! Hope you find a nice place here and sorry to hear about the smoke problems in Chiang Mai 😭
jenaimorgan did your lungs recover? Is the inhaler a permanent fixture?
Nice! That main road your walking at the beginning was like a wider more organized less crowded ChangKlan Road !
I love the roads here already 👍
Thanks for this vídeos your voice is really good for learn inglish.
Thanks again
Thank you!
Happy Days! 😄
Happy days mate 👍👍
Cracking video Wayne will be using that bike shop myself, heading to Hua hin from London on Tuesday! If I bump into you I owe you a pint for these videos!
Thanks mate! Hope you have a top time in Hua Hin. I recommend Hua Hin Motorcycles, they have been great and have the best reviews.
Hua Him will be my next destination after Chiang Mai.
It's a great place , I really like Hua Hin.
Never been to Hua Hin. It looks lovely. Looking forward to seeing your vlogs from there. Thank you for sharing and hope you have a wonderful time exploring 😎😎
Thanks Monica 👍
It’s lovely there Wayne the market is lovely night market it’s my favourite place I can’t stand Pattaya many people end up retiring there my daughter has a list of nice hotels we stayed at cha am as well it’s nice very quiet there wayne you would like it it doesn’t rain much I think it only has two seasons there
👍👍
Thks for showing my future home around Wayne. Me and Me wifey moving to Hua Hin in 8.5 years. Absolutely cant wait. Pretty much waht im living for at the moment.
That's great mate! I'm really liking Hua Hin, great place. I've got loads more vlogs about the place coming up.
Alot can happen in 8.5yrs mate
@@stevejohnson2130 sure mate. but gotta have a plan of some sort otherwise its not even remotely possible to make it a reality
Devon and Cornwall! And you go all that way to look for a beach!!
Who's looking for a beach . I live in the jungle. Not here for the beaches son.
Khao Takiab is the place to go, nice vibe there and also it has Tamarind and Cicada Markets. No doubt you'll find Blueport and Market Village malls as they're quite hard to miss! Cha Am is worth a visit as well, but crazy busy at weekends (as Hua Hin is) with the Bangkok crowd. Enjoy it Wayne!
Ahhh been to most of them places already Tanya but thanks 👍. A few people have told me it gets busy but it's been dead all weekend 🤣. Lovely quiet roads and beaches. Time of year I guess . Thanks 🙏
Wow! That rice selling girl. Poehhh!!😮
🤣 She was a dazzler!
I live in hua hin when not working. Bars in soi 88...soi 88...soi 94...soi 80...wonderland 1, 2 and 3
Nice one Gary 👍
Nice place Wayne. Have a great time there and stay safe. Cheers man 🤩
Cheer mate, It's a nice town, I'm liking it 👍
Wait till you see it Friday and Saturday
Came across your videos by chance and actually enjoying them.
Thanks Scott, welcome to the channel 👍
I love Hua Hin. Spent a couple of months there earlier this year during that grim hot season. It's perhaps one of the most underrated places in Thailand, but I totally get the appeal.
Head to Baan Khun Por (night market) on Soi 88. It's open every day, but far more lively on the weekends. A lot of fun. Cheap food and beers, live music etc. Also very cheap Thai, Western, Mexican, Indian food.
I can understand the appeal also, it's a great city. I went to that market last night 👌👌 cheers
Keep it a secret. Already enough tourists and farangs enchroaching to Hua Him again.
Great place to be. My Thai wife loves it.
Take it easy man. 😁
I'm starting to love the place myself 👌
Great blog like always have a fantastic time and change your bike to a pcx thy are the best . Take care mate injoy.
Cheers mate! PCX is nice but sticking with the 150 Click for now mate. Alot cheaper also .
Nice change of scenery Wayne. There's some cool spot's outside of Hua Hin also...pronounced Hoo' Hin.
Enjoy the sea breezes, mate.
Yes mate, nice to get some sea breeze. Really? I've not heard anyone say it like that yet. More like Hooa Hin to me. Cheers buddy 👍
No it isn't 😂.
What 😂 no it's not I have a lot of Thai friends and my girlfriend definitely don't pronounce it like that🙈
You really threw me with the "Bit cooler' bit Mate!. Happy to have eyes-on Hua Hin. It back on my Radar after I had to shelve Penang after more changes with Sarawak long term Visa options. And, If you get a chance to check out some sea-view condos I would really appreciate a look.
Hua Hin has a great vibe, I like it! Not sure if I'll be doing any condos but we'll see mate.
Enjoy Hua Hin Wayne, Beautiful spot, it's where I plan to retire. Give Soi 88 a look, some good food and everything else up there. Also, Get to the fishing village (Near the Buddha in the mountain (Khao Takiab)
It's a nice city man! I could live here easy 👌
Very interesting vlogs thanks again. Ive always been intrigued about hua hin since i found a vlogger called jonny theres something happening (I think thats correct) stay safe im looking forward to the next episode
Thanks Bernard 👌👌
- you will luv it - Good time to be there - low season - cooler - if you looking for a bit quieter , go about 45 mins south - Prachuap Khiri Khan & cheaper - happy days 😃👍🙏👌👋
Nice one Ant mate 👍
Great vlog. Good to see you busting moves and flexing in Hua Hin. Watch out for Jonnny he doesnt get you wasted.
Nice one buddy!
Nice one mate 👍
Cheers buddy.
Get yourself down to Takiab - better beach, scenery and lots of monkeys. I moved here from Chiang Mai and have no regrets.
Already done buddy! Not a bad beach. Vlog to come.
@WalkAboutWayne hope you didn't leave anything on your bike, them monkeys will have it away!
Hua Hin a delicious place, was there myself a number of years ago. pleasant place with a nice beach
It's a nice place to be mate 👌
do you know him, he lives in Hua Hin
See if you can find and have a chat with the Australian UA-cam vlogger " Jonny there is something happening" he lives and vlogs around Hua Hin , and he's a great laugh.
I follow Jonny myself, seems a top lad. Hopefully I'll bump into a few people but I won't be around for long.
Will probably be there next week, don't know if you are behind with your vlogs and you've left already. Maybe I will see you, make sure you visit Bung Bua (wooden bridge and water lilies). 🇹🇭
I will have probably moved on buddy, but I could still be around. Hope to see you around.
Beaches for miles...kao tao...kao takieb.
Hua Hin is my place
It's a nice place, I'm liking it here ☺️
Have a wonderful time. Wanye you deserve it pal
Thanks mate 👌
@@WalkAboutWayne My pleasure.. 🙏
Hey Wayne nice running into you at Market Village mall. Happy you see you enjoying your time here mate
Hey man! Yes, great to meet you here. I thought I was hearing things when I heard my name 😂. Great to meet you mate, and thanks for liking the channel.
Ah my home from home mate, glad you got yourself down there. I hope you got the lay of the land there now and been to the main beach area in front of Centara (my fav hotel!!!) and got to the night market and other markets (Tamarind mkt & Cicada mkt) of an evening. Plus everything you need in Market Village mall. If you want a good choice of food plus some local music (outside of the bars area) get down to the gaunt food court just past the railway lines at the end of Hua Hin 88 Rd 🍲
Nice one Simo, I didn't know Hua Hin was your spot. You probably told me but I forgot. It's a great town man, I'm really liking it. I've got some vlogs coming of some the places you mentioned. Cheers mate.
@@WalkAboutWayne groovy 😎 looking forward to it 😎😎👍👍
… yeah, love a few days there where piss. I think it goes back to HH beach being the first foreign beach I’d set foot on …. Had never experienced warm sea water before and a picture perfect beach - emotional imprint I guess 😂😎😎
Hua Hin is a nice beach resort city but it laks a promenade. Wich for me personally it's essential in beach cities.
👍👍
I spent a few days in Hua Hin last month. Took the train down from Bangkok and a van back (the highway to BKK sucks!). I had a Philly cheese steak at Satan's Grill across the street from your Bike rental shop on soi 80 which yes, is a bar street. Pretty quiet though. I stayed at a placed called the Maven Stylish hotel which is just a couple minute walk from that street. Brand new, nice location, good price, will stay there again next visit.
Mmm the grill place sounds nice. I like this area yes! The bars was very quiet . Thanks
Chicken is an easy Thai word.....Gai (as in guy and gal) Ni ku gai chai mai? Is this chicken? Hope that is helpful LOL. I hope to be living in Chiang Mai before Christmas.
Yep, piece of cake. One of the first words I ever learnt 👍 Gai and Khao and you sorted 👍
I had no idea Hua Hin was much cooler than Chiang Mai or I would have gone there last year. Looks like a good place to visit!
I wouldn't say much, but it's defo been a tad cooler . I'm liking it here 👍
A change is always nice. 👍
Sure is Brian mate. 👍
should you go down and see Rajabhakti Park, Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park looks really nice
Already been mate 👍
@@WalkAboutWayne There is a really nice temple inside the cave. Wasn't it a nice place, did you make a video
Loving the series Wayne. I have a very vague memory of Hua Hin. I spent around ten days there back in the day. The only thing I can really remember is that it had exceptional seafood in the market. Have fun Wayne and thanks for showing us around. 😃👍🏼
Nice one Kashif, I'm loving Hua Hin so far. You are correct about the sea food here man 👍👍
@@WalkAboutWayne yum 🍤🦞🦀
Nice one mate you actually walked past a really decent place to eat on the night Market just as you said you was starving,😂 the pad thai is one of the best I've had and I don't really like the dish that much.
No worries mate, found some great places . I'm really liking Hua Hin.
When I was in Phuket in June I had one of those new keyless bikes, 160cc. Yes it did take some getting used too.
You should try to contact Jonny there’s something happening, UA-camr. He live where yuh are , it would be a good duo video 😊
It took me a while to get to grips with the new key 🤣🤣
The new Hua Hin series. You're buzzin Wayne, nothing like a change of scenery to boost the batteries. Hope you run into LJ's mate Jonny, I reckon you'd both get on like a house on fire🔥
Yes mate, buzzin to be in Hua Hin. It's a great place already, liking it . I follow Jonny, might see him around 👍
I'll be walking in your footsteps in a few weeks. Cheers.
Nice! Not long to wait! It's a great city 👌👌
had the same problems in chiang mai trying to find my scooter back in chiang mai when i was there , thinking about getting a gps tracker next time so i can use my phone and google maps to find my bike back , should help a lot
another option would be to learn how to pin a location on google maps when you park and use that to locate the way back to the scooter , seems theres a special parking app option for that in google maps
Drop a pin on Google maps is what I do now.
Always a good hang
Cheers mate 👌
Wayne what websites/booking services do you use to rent out condos in Thailand? Is it easy to find something or better to have booked everything in advance if I wanted to stay in Chiang Mai for a week and then go to Hua Hin, for example.
None mate. I never use anything. Books a hotel and hit the streets. Find the area you like and start asking around for rooms. That’s the best way.
Hua Hin is Western region of Thailand 😊
Yes, but it's all south to Me 🤣
There is a lovely beach there the sand is so white it’s near the Hilton hotel
👍👍
goto cicada market if you wanna see a bigger market
Already been buddy. I thought it was small, but great art work 👌
Hey Wayne, did they have any 300 cc bikes at the shop?
I can't recall seeing any 300cc mate. I think they just do unto 160cc. You might need to find another shop for bigger bikes.
Ive allways liked the look of hui hin. Jonny somethings happening.lives there lots of information if you wont to take a look wayne
I've followed Jonny's channel for years 👍. Hua Hin is a great place Julie . 👌👌
Nice places
👍👍
Nice one you should look up Nina (Having fun with Nina) while you are there she has a nice place you could stay if she is not fully booked up. You could make a video with her she is a lovely lady and funny.
I watch some of Nina's channel aswell. I didn't know she had a hotel though .
Just subscribed
Thanks buddy 👍
@@WalkAboutWaynemate, I have just released my first book on Amazon, would you be willing give it a mention on your channel for me.
In 2004 I was first official hostage taken in Iraq and 18 years on it has been released...regards Gary
@@garyteeley9637 Is this for real mate? you was taken hostage? Send me a link buddy, let me take a look. Thanks.
I lasted 3 months there couldnt get back to Chiangmai fast enough ..
What were your reasons? I'm curious for when i move over there to live.
I've not got them vibes so far. I really like it.
Yeah. I heard it's full of snobby farangs that play golf.
Good on ya mate.
Cheers mate
Have a look at Dolphin Bay, just the other side of Pranburi. Soi Bintabaht is the main bar street, just down from the City Beach Hotel, I left Hua Hin for Chiang Mai 10yrs ago.
Prachuabkirikhan is about 90kms South, not a bad town.
Nice one Steve 👍 I've had a couple beers down Soi Bintabaht already buddy 👍
I was there early last year for a couple of weeks and realy enjoyed it, apart from a severe bout of diarrhea which I think was caused by having ice in a couple of cocktails in a certain well known bar there. I can't recall the name of the restaurant but there's an American style diner near the entrance to the Hilton hotel, give it a try.
Cheers mate, think I'll give it a miss if you got sick from there 🤣
Several years ago I had the same problem in Pattaya and I am 100% sure it was caused by a watermelon - ice shake.
How often do you travel for vlogs? You ever thought of traveling within Thailand as such but to even greater distances, Like the Muslim in south-south Thailand?
Not very often, I live in Chiang Mai, but go in trips sometimes. Maybe deep south one day 👍
There are flights to Hua Hin from Chiang mai??
Yes , cheap flights , takes just over an hour 👍
About $30 from what I hear
Wayne, Prachuap Kiri Khan is a beautiful place if you want to travel further afield. Think its about 60ks south

Sweet 👌
I scoped out HH and the surrounding area many times now. Its just too small and quiet. CM is the place mate, you enjoy yourself. The average age in HH of Farang in also very high. Cant wait to see more, maybe youll have a better go of it than me
I've got loads more vlogs coming about some of the things you mentioned Steve. I really like Hua Hin so far though.
@@WalkAboutWayne It's a vast area all the way down to chumpon. But HH has small mountains and beaches. It's great for 6 months
Hi!
Ciao
Nice one Wayne. I went to Hua Hin in April and really liked it. Very chilled place .
It's defo a chilled place.
I like Cornwall
Some of the best coast in the world 👍
👍 🌊😊
👍👍🙏
Having available pure land race Thai Sativa would be a plus for Thailand, and cheap on top of it, whereas I have heard tell that pure Thai is very much the top shelf of all cannabis as evaluated by many aficionados. By taking pot and leaving pot so much any more, I would spend a minuscule amount on that stuff, and pure Thai would be all I would pretty much need. Sobriety is precious: I just never want to abuse it, by overdoing it.
👍👍
You've got your happy face on again mate . HH is a great escape from CM's burning season .
An abundance of natural beauty south of the city & just a short drive away . Take it easy Wayne , take it easy
It's a cool place Paul :)
Hua Hin has become so much busier and with so much traffic over the past ten years or so. That main road running south is awful and dangerous. i liked it there a couple of decades ago.
Lot's of people have said that so far. It's been dead since I been here really, lovely clear roads.
Additionally now, particularly on the weekends, everyone has started taking the back streets - which are mostly more like alleys really - in order to avoid the traffic maelstrom on the main road. They really aren't set up the handle the amount of cars and bikes, which typically are racing through at double the appropriate speed. As a pedestrian it feels hideously dangerous.
Good beginning… hope you like it. I remember Bill from UnseenThailand saying he moved there from CM and it didn’t last all that long before he moved back to CM. It looks like it could be in ‘the busy but not too busy’ sweet spot. Curious on how you would find it for people who walk everywhere and if it’s a lot tougher getting by with English. Enjoy the trip!
Thanks! Yes I did see Bill didn't like it. Not the case for me at the minute, but it is early days. It's a great place. More vlogs about my thoughts on the way.
Happy day ja
👌👌👌
Glad you are enjoying your trip in Hua Hin looking forward to seeing more of the place it’s one of the places we like to visit when we’re back in Thailand again and how was the food? I would totally eat there I’m a foodie and Thai street food is great i know some are questionable we just have to use our common sense and enjoy 😄
Food was great, all the street food here has been amazing! It's a great place to be 👍
"Tasty looking ladies" WHAAAAT!?!?!😂
That's right buddy, tasty ladies 👍. You really English? 🤣
@@WalkAboutWayne yeah
Why are you so excited???
Looks crap boring, i went there years ago but there was bars girls around cant remember what was exact location very touristy...
Why was I excited? Exactly for the reason you mentioned buddy, nice and chilled, no crowded beaches, no farangs wearing Speedos everywhere, just a nice boring beach all to myself and a chilled town. Ahhh perfect 👍
Do any retired single ladies feel safe in these small towns or cities in Thailand. Is hst just old guys looking for young wome to take care of them.
I see lot's of retired western women in Chiang Mai and, more in Hua Hin. I don't think retired western women would have any problems in Thailand.
Southampton?!? WTF! I would have sworn you were a Geordie!
I once met Jimmy Nail. Maybe that's it 👍
lol bro did you say "tasty-looking ladies"???
I sure did buddy 👌👌
Correct me if I'm wrong but when you say Sa-wa-dee-cup, you should wait for them to say it and then say Sa-baht-de-my? It's more a back and forth conversation. I could be wrong.
Nah, you can say hello , how are you, if you want. The conversation hasn't even started👍
😅
You are wrong, Wayne does know the score.
Will be there in 2 weeks time great place … get yourself up Soi 80 ,88, and 94 load of bars and night life 👍🏻
The foreigners selling weed all over Thailand.
I don't know much about it, but it seems to be everywhere 👍
Nice vid, get another battery. The ladyboys love you
Bobby Dazzler 👌
Compared with where you and the weed guy are right now.
You two are next door neighbors back home.
🤣 Yes, that's about right mate.
Make sure you catch-up with @jonnyasia
You never know buddy.
