My wife and I love living in Hua Hin. We have all the comforts without the hassles of Bangkok. Great people, beaches, golf, restaurants, markets, malls and movie theaters. We moved from America when I retired so my wife of 15 years could be close to her family for a while. We didn’t intend to give up anything in terms of comfort or luxuries moving here and we certainly haven’t had to in Hua Hin. The water here is great so come on in! You’d be welcome here!
Thanks for the great comment, I enjoyed reading about you're move to Hua Hin. I will certainly be coming back to Hua Hin again and get a really good feel for the place. I really like it here, great place to be. Thanks.
I’m shocked they’ve not attempted to restart the ferry service from Pattaya again, even at a much reduced service I think demand would prove it worth while
Love the laid-back atmosphere in HH. Live 6 km from center, here we find quied, fresh air and comfort, but only 10 minutes to center and beach. Many nearby places, nationalparks and so to visit. Have not been in Chiang Mai but plan to visot for a couples of weeks.
We currently live in Hua Hin, but are moving to Chiang Mai in 3-4 weeks. It's a nice place, but it is a little bit of a retirement village. A nice beachside town if you are looking for a pretty quiet life, but it is pretty limited on what there is to do here though.
There is no doubt that Hua Hin is a retirement town for old farangs. But, close to Hua Hin are many attractions. Kaeng Krachan National Park, the largest national park in Thailand. Kui Buri National Park for elephant sighting. Beautiful beaches to the south of Hua Hin...Ao Manao at Prachuap, Baan Krut south of Prachuap, and many more. Also, Cha Am just north of HH, for those that prefer a more "Thai" holiday place.
Nice view point mate . Glad you enjoying HH . The place has a totally different vibe high season . Not sure what's appealling to you but for me it's what's on offer not far south which makes HH a good base
Same with Chiang Mai, totally different in hight season. Same with most I reckon. I really like the layout of HH, loved it. I will need to spend more time in the future here though. Cheers mate.
Give it a try Wayne, you can always move back to Chiang Mai. I personally liked a few kilometres south of Hua Hin more of a village feel and nice beaches which is also not that far from Hua Hin if you wanted a bit more now and again.
Maybe an option in the future. I think I will return again a couple more times to get a proper feel for the place. It's hard to leave the north though .
Huay Mongkol does get very busy at the weekends Wayne. Very popular with Thai tourists. Used to cycle up to the View Point, we called it Heart Attack Hill.
I did read that it gets busy with tourists, a few was coming in when I left. Viewpoint was great for a proper look at Hua Hin. 🤣🤣 yes, that road was steep going up.
I think the beauty of the north is unbeatable. The only plus of the south is the sea and beaches. Even if you like that, Hua Hin would have a very low place on my list. I'd advise the unpopulated islands. I stayed 2 weeks on Koh Chang last time. It was like a dream. But again, north is the most beautiful part of Thailand for me.
The North will take some beating mate. I thought I would hate it down here though and I was totally wrong. I'm hoping to see more of Southern Thailand.
Been to Chiang Mai and I did like it but didn't spend enough time to take it all in. I wouldn't tolerate the burning season year in and year out I Just wouldn't.
Loved the location of the monument. Beautiful surrounding gardens but not keen at all on roaming dogs myself having been bitten by one once in Thailand. Amazing views of Hua Hin there and a bit more relaxed than other bigger cities which explains why it is so popular for retirees. Having said that, UA-camr Jonny there is Something Happening lives there too and he's reasonably young as yourself. Quite a funny Aussie lad. You may have heard of him. Nice video Wayne. Cheers buddy 🤩
Great location mate, it was a great ride out to the monument. Yeah, I do see younger guys here too. I really like Hua Hin sure, I been watching Jonny for years 👌. Thanks man.
Hua Hin is not for everyone, but if you like a more quiet regular life near the ocean, and especially if your a golfer then it's a no-brainer. They plan to add international flights from the Hua Hin airport to Malaysia, Singapore, China, India, and a few others which will help the Hua Hin economy. Also, the dual track train to Bangkok is going to be a big bonus as well. The Kings palace and big military presence means Hua Hin will not turn in to a tourist party town as well.
Lived in 8 and visited 72 countries. By accident I came to Hua Hin 10 years ago. Now living here on a retirement visa. It has everything one can wish for.
Hua Hin looks right nice for my tastes. I'm not an old farang (well, maybe a little old...hehe) and it appeals to me. I prefer peaceful, chilled places like that.
Chiang Mai to hua hin is only and hour flight alway if you like both you can go back and forth that’s what I just did this week. First time in Thailand I’m loving it
Made my mind up a month or so ago to make the move to Hua Hin once my lease i up on my condo in Chiang Mai this mid December. I love Chaing Mai, but the ocean is in the blood and iv'e got to settle down somewhere. And Hua Hin might just be that "somewhere", only time will tell. Enjoy the change of scenery Wayne and the sea air. 👍👍
@@WalkAboutWayne The "burning"? Sounds very scary to me mate and my mum always taught me never to play with matches too. And just look at what happened to the cop in "The Wicker Man"? Now there's a good example. But you can count me in if it's just a barbie with plenty of those beach creature types in bikinis. And i could throw in the sausages and a bottle of train smash for good measure i suppose. Might have to catch up before the move south though. I'm on FB 👍👍
Only visiting mate, but I really like the place. It's certainly quiet at the minute but I have been told, that won't last for long. It would be interesting to see HH in high season.
I don’t know if you can beat CM.. but if the air gets so bad you have to leave.. Hua Hin it is. Your video on the Hua Hin birds could sway me though! Nice to see you with the friendly kind of dog, Wayne.
when you first pass through the gate immediately to the right there is a path you can follow that will take you to a different view point that you stand on the rocks looking out, all the monkies hang out there also. Its the best viewpoint of the 3
If we all liked the same place it'd soon get awfully busy 😉 I've lived in Chiang Mai (Changklan) and enjoyed my time but was excited to move down to Hua Hin (Takiab). Depending on your priorities - I'd say Chiang Mai is better for a trip but Hua Hin wins for longer term living. And in saying that, I plan to move again and see what else Thailand has to offer - so nowhere near ready to plant my flag just yet 😎
That's great! and probably the best way to do it, keep moving around. The North is still me place but I still need to see more southern Thai cities. Thanks.
Maybe have 2 homes. C.M. and H. H. The cliimate can decide. Even Pattaya and its area is interesting. Some vds. show why families live there. Many non bar sites and things to do. One vd. had 12 things for families to do. We all have opinions on places we haven't been to. One guy was there for 3 days and had a bad experience. Probably the bars. He said dont go there. But knocking a place without seeing it is like discussing a book that justt one person has read.Some expats like south of the city like Jomtien. But iI think I would prefer H.H. And then could visit wherever. So many places in Thailand to see. And cheap flights.
That's right, I agree. I always thought I wouldn't like the south or Hua Hin, but I was wrong. It goes to show, you need to see these places first. I'm going to look around some others, including Pattaya soon hopefully.
During the high season there is a massive influx of Scandinavian tourists, i knew a few Norwegians who all bought houses in the same soi of a new development.
I've been curious about Hua Hin for months and will be visiting in the next few weeks. But truthfully from what I am seeing it looks a little tacky, under maintained and boring. Hopefully I change my mind once I visit. Thanks for posting.
Wakey Wakeeey! Pancakes and Fruitty Shakey! But I'll take your order every morning, nevertheless, Sir! 😀 💪💪💪🙏 p.s.: In all seriousness now, you know, Love is NOTORIOUS of THRIVING IN MANY AND ANY ENVIRONMENTS! And Hua Hin is a total blast! Retired or not, who doesn't like a mountaineous beach city! What a gem, man!
Thanks Wayne and at 14:47 for something to think about. Now, if I can only figure out how to stay long term without having to sign my freedom away the dotted line. From what I saw of Hua Hin several years ago I thought it had a good vibe, but possibly a place that might get a bit monotonous after a couple of years. I actually preferred Penang after living there a while, but I didn't think much of it for the first few weeks, but then it felt like home.
I would need longer here to see if I could move here, early signs are really good for me though. I have heard that hight season is a whole new experience though. I've loved Hua Hin so far though.
I havent been there but I like the fact when you said you could drive a short distance and theres nobody. You cant do that in the Pattaya area and I like taking a drive to empty my thoughts without hearing mango sellers with mics, 3 wheeler sea weed carts or the grunt of an elder obese retiree coming straight for me on the narrow sidewalks. Im going to look up Jira, a single real estate agent on youtube when I get there soon to hopefully base myself there (with her or without her : )).
Hi Wayne, well to me hua hin is a bit meh than Chiang Mai, and certainly more meh than Phayao. I find the expat gentry and people in the north are more chilled out than beach towns. Btw, are you’re an early riser in general? I think the last time I woke up at 6 am was 40 years ago. Keep well.
I would agree with that . The westerners down south seem to act more western, if that makes sense 🤣🤣. The north is more Sabai Sabai. Yes mate, up at 5am every day. Best part of the day .
It seems a great place from what I've seen so far. The North is still my place, but I'll be making more trips to Hua Hin, to get a better feel for the place. Great to hear you'll be heading to Hua Hin.
was there in 2020 nice place :) the munk predicted that Taksin was no good for Thailand , very popular among the people .get yourselfe a neackless of him for good luck. Thais like that :)
@@WalkAboutWayne I really appreciate your review of that area. I want to retire there in about 10 years. The flight to Change Mai and the train to Bangkok are so cheap, it lets you enjoy all 3 areas during their peak seasons.
@@MikeyandRebbi Thank you. Yes, it's so easy to get to Chiang Mai and Bangkok from Hua Hin. I enjoyed my time in Hua Hin, I would like to do more videos in Hua Hin soon.
I'm not one for touristy stuff esp after you've seen a few temples but I thought that the Summer Palace stood out. People can keep their Monkey Mountains as they are more annoying than anything.
It seems Phuket, pattaya,Hua hin and chaing mai are the main places for expats . I prefer Phuket but Hua hin looks interesting too. I like quiet places . Pattaya is too noisy.
Patong Bangla road is pretty hectic but I Can cope with it . Pattaya was way over the top.just don’t need all that traffic and bars . The sea water is also cleaner in Patong and Karon . We are both from southern England and I guess appreciate similar values.Hua hin looks pretty good too.
@@WalkAboutWayne ha before I forget you should check prathuap kiri khan it’s not far from hua hin quite beach town with amazing beaches mate right up your street it’s amazing there mate about a hour from hua hin
Hi Wayne, I'm not sure if you're in the retirement category yet for Hua Hin. It's just another fabulous place to see in Thailand. I'm sure there are many, many more to check out. Don't retire just yet.....
If you can't afford to walk away from a Tenner to get a better night's sleep, You are too broke to be retired. Normally I like and get along well with poms. If you are going to be a negative wingher you're not going to be happy whatever you are. Move on don't spoil the location for us.
Nice Chicago bills hat from a American that was my favriot team growing up wonderful vlog as always and did you hear the nfl is playing some games in London and Germany this year ? Our players going out there to play 🤌🤌
Nice! I was a massive Bulls fan growing up, that 90s Bulls team was iconic all around the world. I love American sports. I love NFL also, it's on my list to watch a NBA or NFL game one day, maybe in London. We've had a few games at Wembley in London. I recall the Raiders played in London before . 👍

Hua Hin is a great place but why do you have to commit for forever just rent somewhere until you feel it's time to move on, Thailand is a big place 👍😎

During the high season there is a massive influx of Scandinavian tourists, i knew a few Norwegians who all bought houses in the same soi of a new development.
I think I'll need to come again in high season, so I can get a proper look and see how much it changes.
@WalkAboutWayne it's the population that increases, alot of Scandinavians have bought houses on the 30yr lease, and winter in Hua Hin.
I've been curious about Hua Hin for months and will be visiting in the next few weeks. But truthfully from what I am seeing it looks a little tacky, under maintained and boring. Hopefully I change my mind once I visit. Thanks for posting.
Been there and it is exactly as you described. Good luck!
Give it a try and see what you think. 👍
You only live once Wayne, move to Hua Hin and explore the towns even further down south, you might just find your own perfect paradise.
Maybe that's the plan going forward Graham.
Wat Huat Mongkol is amazing tbh..
Nice monument 👍👍

I havent been there but I like the fact when you said you could drive a short distance and theres nobody. You cant do that in the Pattaya area and I like taking a drive to empty my thoughts without hearing mango sellers with mics, 3 wheeler sea weed carts or the grunt of an elder obese retiree coming straight for me on the narrow sidewalks.

Hui hin looks nice
I like it, it's a nice place Julie 👍
Hi Wayne, well to me hua hin is a bit meh than Chiang Mai, and certainly more meh than Phayao. I find the expat gentry and people in the north are more chilled out than beach towns. Btw, are you’re an early riser in general? I think the last time I woke up at 6 am was 40 years ago. Keep well.
I would agree with that . The westerners down south seem to act more western, if that makes sense 🤣🤣. The north is more Sabai Sabai. Yes mate, up at 5am every day. Best part of the day .

It seems a great place from what I've seen so far. The North is still my place, but I'll be making more trips to Hua Hin, to get a better feel for the place. Great to hear you'll be heading to Hua Hin.
Hi Wayne
just now seen a video of yours hua hin on the beach! you mentioned your from devon...so am I 🙂 I'm from Barnstable are you on Facebook wayne.
I'm sure the Shellfish and Squid festival in Cha-Am over the past week kept the young people occupied.
Nice! I might have seen some of that 👍
was there in 2020 nice place :) the munk predicted that Taksin was no good for Thailand , very popular among the people .get yourselfe a neackless of him for good luck. Thais like that :)
Nice bit of info, I'll have to do some reading up on that. I'm not a neckless man, but I've got my lucky penny. Thanks.
I wonder how long of a ride that train in and out of Bangkok is?
I think it's around 4 hours
train ride is about 4 as wayne mentioned. The journey by minivan will take you 3 hours.
Appears to be a nice location.
You did a great job showing the different areas.
Will visit there on my next trip

I think you should stay in Hua Hin during the burning season for 3-4 months then head back north.
I miss Hua Hin, I'm hoping to get back down there soon.

Maybe next time buddy

Yes mate, I'll be making a few more visits here, to get a proper feel for the place.
It seems Phuket, pattaya,Hua hin and chaing mai are the main places for expats . I prefer Phuket but Hua hin looks interesting too. I like quiet places . Pattaya is too noisy.
Yes, they do seem to be the main places. Is Phuket quiet?
Patong Bangla road is pretty hectic but I Can cope with it . Pattaya was way over the top.just don’t need all that traffic and bars . The sea water is also cleaner in Patong and Karon . We are both from southern England and I guess appreciate similar values.Hua hin looks pretty good too.

Hi Wayne, I'm not sure if you're in the retirement category yet for Hua Hin. It's just another fabulous place to see in Thailand. I'm sure there are many, many more to check out. Don't retire just yet.....
Hua Hin is supposed to be kept secret lest it be despoiled by tourists.
Really? It’s one of the most well known places in all of Thailand 😂
@@WalkAboutWayne My mistake. I was thinking of another place.
If you can't afford to walk away from a Tenner to get a better night's sleep, You are too broke to be retired.
Normally I like and get along well with poms. If you are going to be a negative wingher you're not going to be happy whatever you are. Move on don't spoil the location for us.
Grow up
Nice Chicago bills hat from a American that was my favriot team growing up wonderful vlog as always and did you hear the nfl is playing some games in London and Germany this year ? Our players going out there to play 🤌🤌
Nice! I was a massive Bulls fan growing up, that 90s Bulls team was iconic all around the world. I love American sports. I love NFL also, it's on my list to watch a NBA or NFL game one day, maybe in London. We've had a few games at Wembley in London. I recall the Raiders played in London before . 👍
