Hello everyone at ReadMe,
For this trip, I will take everyone to relax at Hua Hin. Let's stay at the Ibis Hua Hin Hotel.
My trip was focused on relaxation, with minimal sightseeing, as I had recently been in a motorcycle accident a week prior to my departure.
However, this did not allow me to explore as freely as I would have liked on other trips. But since everything was already booked, why would I cancel the trip? Come along with me on my adventure.

The Ibis Hotel is located just outside of Hua Hin town, in the Khao Takiab beach area. It is easily accessible by public transportation, as there are songthaews (shared taxis) that run along the main road.
I arrived around 2:30 PM and checked in.
While waiting to check in, let's take a look at the lobby's atmosphere.
Car rentals and tour services are available in the lobby.
Computers are available for internet access while waiting for check-in.
The bar provides a space for patrons to enjoy drinks without venturing outside.
After discussing the accommodation details, we took our belongings to the room.
The building has two elevators that operate efficiently, minimizing waiting times.
The elevator opens on the 6th floor. Where is the room?
Path to the room
Room number 617
Upon entering the room, you will be provided with two key cards and the Wi-Fi password. To unlock the door, insert a key card into the designated slot until the green light illuminates, then remove the card.
The room was not very large, but the bed was comfortable.
A flat-screen TV is provided at the foot of the bed.
Free coffee and tea in the dining room
Built-in wardrobe in the wall with towels provided for swimming.
There are safe deposit boxes available to store your valuables while you are out and about.

After checking the room's ambiance, I considered taking photos at the hotel's swimming pool. However, during the late afternoon, the pool was heavily occupied, making it inappropriate to intrude on the privacy of other guests seeking relaxation. Therefore, I decided to postpone the photoshoot until the morning before the pool's opening.
This trip was a relaxing getaway. In the evenings, we enjoyed a leisurely dinner at Khao Takiap while watching the sunset over the water.
After finishing his rice, he returned to his room to rest, as is typical for someone with a leg injury who cannot walk much.
Waking up early before grabbing breakfast, I stopped by the pool to take some photos. The pool is located next to the dining room.
The swimming pool is open from 8:00 AM to 7:00 PM.
It's time for breakfast. Let's go see what's available to eat.
Fried rice
What was it? I can't remember. Haha.
Stir-fried Vegetables
Golden Egg Yolk in Syrup
Pork sausage, stir-fried pork
Ham, chicken sausage
Sunny-side-up egg

Chicken noodle soup
Toasted bread

Salad bar

The breakfast area was bustling with guests who had just arrived.
It's time for my breakfast. This morning, I'm having a hearty breakfast of sausages, ham, fried eggs, and baked potatoes.
Toasted bread with jam
Light pork porridge
A light cup of cocoa, please.
End your breakfast with orange juice.
After a hearty breakfast, it's time to head out for a relaxing day of sightseeing.
I went to take photos at Rajabhakti Park. The sun was very strong on the day I went, but there were still a lot of people.
Next, pay respects to Luang Pu Thuat at Wat Huay Mongkol.
Next, we will head to Pa La-U Waterfall.
Recently, I visited the temple during a period of low water levels. Due to an injury to my leg, I was only able to stay on the lower level and could not climb to the upper level. I plan to return when my leg has fully recovered.
After returning from Pa La-U Waterfall, we went back to the hotel to rest and waited for the right time to visit the Hua Hin Night Market.
The hotel offers a shuttle service to and from Hua Hin city center. The service operates on a schedule and picks up and drops off passengers at the clock tower in front of Hua Hin Temple. However, it is important to book the shuttle in advance with the hotel as each trip can only accommodate a limited number of passengers. Based on my inquiry, the available shuttle times appear to be 6:00 PM, 7:00 PM, and 8:00 PM.
By the time I finished showering, dressing, and cleaning my wounds, the hotel shuttle had already left. So, I had to find my own way to the night market.
After a long night at the market, I slept soundly. I woke up in the morning and had breakfast, then went back to my room to rest. My original plan for the day was to visit several more places before returning home, but I had to change my plans. The day before, I had walked too much and the wound from my bike accident was swollen. So all I could do was rest in my room and wait for the time to check out and return to Bangkok.
11:00 AM: Time to check out and head home. Before leaving the hotel, we enjoyed the hotel's signature dish for lunch.
The first dish served was stir-fried noodles with fresh shrimp, which tasted delicious.
The first two dishes served were Hawaiian pizzas with thin and crispy crusts. They were delicious.
After finishing the meal, he drove straight back to Bangkok to rest his legs at home.
This concludes my review. Stay tuned for my next adventure, the destination and date of which will be announced soon.
