Hello, Darkcutie.

Today, we will take you on a trip to a timeless tourist destination: Hua Hin.

We set off on a bright Saturday morning, gazing at the sky and praying for a smooth journey, hoping the rain wouldn't disrupt our plans. As the saying goes, "An army marches on its stomach," so we fueled up before leaving our accommodation in Rangsit. Arriving just past Muang Ek, we stopped for a bite at Lim Sang Nawong Chicken Rice, a renowned eatery that has been serving customers since its days as a humble food cart.

The price is not too expensive. Let's take a look at the quantity.

This is a special order for 35 baht. I think the amount is good for the price. You get a large cup of soup, enough for 4 people.

The rice is not very soft, it is a bit dry and does not absorb water. The chicken meat is similar to that of a free-range chicken, but it is not likely to be. It is a bit tough.

The fragrant dipping sauce is delicious, with ginger scraped with the skin still on, sitting in a large jar.

Embark on a culinary adventure to Hua Hin, departing from Rangsit. Navigate through Kanchanaphisek Road, connecting to Rama II. Take a left turn onto Khlong Khon Bang Taboon Road, cruising along the scenic coastline towards Cha-am and Hua Hin.

Avoiding large vehicles, this route offers winding roads, scenic views, and shimmering salt fields during the harvest season.

Enjoy a leisurely ride, stopping at viewpoints along the way.

It's a pity you didn't come during the salt-making season. This place would be much more beautiful then.

Visit the Royal Sea Farm Project for a glimpse into exemplary marine farming practices.

This project aims to serve as a learning and knowledge exchange platform for fisheries, enabling farmers both locally and from other regions to apply the knowledge gained to alternative fishing practices. This eliminates the need for them to venture far out to sea to catch fish, as was the practice in the past.

Let's see what's interesting here.

The facility features nursery ponds for fish breeding, numerous rearing ponds, and a variety of aquatic life, including grape algae and giant clams.

This area appears to be a designated feeding spot for the fish.

Hmm, could this be the right place? Haha.

Inside, there is a beautiful pavilion where you can walk around and admire it.

The sun had already set, and my stomach was starting to growl. I looked around for a restaurant and found a small, uncrowded place called Krua Ajan Boy. I went in and ordered some food, feeling very hungry.

The moment the food was served, my eyes widened in surprise!

A seafood platter with two prawns, two squids, and a plethora of shellfish for only 150 baht.

This bowl of mackerel tom yum costs 99 baht and comes with 5 mackerels.

Next, we had the lemongrass squid salad, the price of which I can't recall. However, the lemongrass was finely chopped, and the seafood in all the dishes was incredibly fresh. It's a shame we couldn't finish the seafood salad; it was simply too much for us. Including two plates of rice and a bottle of water, the total came to around 300 baht, which isn't expensive considering the taste and quantity.

After a satisfying meal and rest, we headed to Hat Piek Tian beach. We wanted to reminisce about our childhood and take a picture with the iconic butterfly sculpture.

Boom! What do you think?

Currently, there are no angles to take photos without trespassing on private property. This is all that is available. The rest is occupied by restaurants, and the bottom is a rocky beach. Alas, there is nothing more.

Let me see a clear picture of the ghost butterfly. Hahahaha.

Frustrated, I continued riding towards my accommodation as the rain started to chase me. It was better to find shelter before nightfall.

The journey hugs the coastline, passing through villages and a curtain of rain, before reaching Cha-am and emerging in the heart of Hua Hin. The destination for this trip is the Chomsin Hotel Hua Hin (http://www.chomsinhuahin.com/), located within Soi Hua Hin 55. It is conveniently located, just 100 meters from the entrance of the soi. The hotel offers easy access to tourist attractions, the night market, and a plethora of food options. Staff are available 24/7, Wi-Fi is free, and rooms are equipped with hot water heaters. Additionally, the hotel's proximity to the beach and affordable prices make it an attractive choice. This accommodation is particularly suitable for students or working professionals seeking budget-friendly lodging in a convenient location. While the hotel is within walking distance of the train station and is accessible by van, it may not be ideal for those with personal vehicles due to the lack of on-site parking. This could potentially hinder travel plans.

The accommodation resembles a hotel, but with a guesthouse-like atmosphere. It offers a relaxed check-in process and friendly, welcoming staff.

Did you see something flash by? Please take off your shoes. Although the staff said it's not necessary, the floor is very clean. It's swept and mopped regularly, so you can walk barefoot comfortably.

There is a coffee corner too, perfect. It's going to be a long night, with many more trips to come. Let's have some coffee.

Stepping inside feels like walking into a home. The decor is very personal, unlike a typical hotel.

Our room is on the fourth floor, which is a bit of a climb, but it should be quiet.

This is a single bed room. The hotel has both single and double beds, so you can choose according to your preference.

The bathroom is adequately sized and functions normally. (Be careful not to slip, it's slippery!)

Fully equipped with 2 bottles of water in the refrigerator.

Fully equipped with refrigerator, TV, and free Wi-Fi.

The standard wardrobe is in a room in very good condition. It seems to have been recently renovated. I heard that it will be renovated again, and a rooftop will be added.

It also has a small balcony for chilling.

Gazing at the bustling night market nearby, I felt the urge to escape the confines of my room and immerse myself in the vibrant atmosphere. However, before venturing out, I needed to freshen up and revitalize myself.

Let's take a quick look at the rooftop before they renovate it.

Relaxed and comfortable, if adjusted properly, this could be a selling point.

Let's go! Head to the beach. Wear a hat, no matter how far or near you are. Get used to it.

A sardonic chuckle escapes as I stand before the tantalizing spread, knowing I must resist temptation before plunging into the refreshing waves. A photograph captures this bittersweet moment, a reminder of the delicious sacrifice I make for aquatic bliss.

The beach access is not far from the hotel, but if you go further up the hill, it will be quieter. It's worth the ride up.

After careful consideration, I have decided not to bring the car. It would be too much trouble.

Take a walk to break a sweat, then grab a bite to eat.

The sun is setting and the wind is dying down. Let's go find something to eat. Bak kut teh and dim sum are out of the question, but that's okay. There's a night market with plenty of delicious food options.

The opening act featured sweet-smelling bualoy that was not too sweet, which was a good start.

The roti cannot be trusted, it has too many faces. Bam! Bam! Bam!!!

How about a refreshing sweet drink?

Noodles are also available.

Seafood galore!

Five must-try shops, but never mind, I'm too lazy to find them. I'll just eat whatever I come across.

The ice cream is very delicious.

The aroma of coconut milk is strong, and the ingredients are delicious. The combination of caramelized bananas and raw mangoes is a great choice. I would definitely recommend buying the ingredients separately to make it at home. It's truly delicious.

Delicious! We finished the savory course with a fragrant bowl of kuy chap. It was a must-try!

The food was satisfying, but not quite enough. I asked the locals for recommendations and they suggested a place near Hua Hin School that serves grilled oysters with papaya dipping sauce. I decided to give it a try. The stall is located in a small alley about 200 meters into Soi Hua Hin-Huai Mongkol 11.

Feel free to choose any item. Please inquire about the price first, as prices may vary.

The vendor expertly grilled the skewers in the blink of an eye, complete with dipping sauce. Enjoy them as a snack on the go. Don't worry if you're unsure how to eat them; the vendor will gladly show you.

The restaurant is truly delicious. It's so good that people are constantly coming in to eat, from small cars to large cars to open-top sports cars.

After a satisfying meal, we took a leisurely drive, exploring the sights. We then retired for the night, eager to continue our culinary adventures the next day. This trip promises to be a feast for the senses.

Good morning, please share a picture of the sunrise.

The sky is cloudy.

On vacation, I wake up early and take a walk, unlike on workdays when I don't feel like getting up.

May good deeds be with you. Because I didn't offer food to the monks, whoever wants to offer food to the monks, please do so. I missed this picture, but the next picture will be of offering food to the monks again.

Feeling hungry early in the morning? We recommend walking down to Soi Hua Hin 57, where there are plenty of breakfast options available.

Starting with a sweet treat, the "khanom krok" (Thai coconut pancakes) opposite the coffee shop were delicious and tasted familiar.

This morning's breakfast was at a restaurant called "Jek Pia." Jek Pia is actually a coffee shop that also allows other vendors to share their tables in the morning. Today, we tried the "Vilai Pork Congee" and a cup of Jek Pia coffee. The congee tasted like, well, pork congee, and the coffee tasted like coffee. Both were enjoyable in their own way, and neither had a bad flavor.

There are many other restaurants to choose from.

After filling our stomachs, we headed to the beach. When you're at the sea, how can you just stay in bed? Did you know that Hua Hin beach in the morning offers something that isn't available in the evening?

Sea dog!! No, it's not. This one can be seen all day long.

Monks on alms round! Wow! My head is full of questions, but never mind, this isn't what I came to see.

This is it, Poom. Watch Poom run Poom down the hole. Pretend to be a child again for a while. It's good.

The place is full of crabs.

Hmm, should I go down or not? Let me check the situation first.

Oh no! I went down the wrong hole. It's so narrow! Will I be able to get out?

After exploring until we were drenched in sweat, we returned to our accommodation to prepare for our departure. We packed our belongings, showered, and relaxed for a while before checking out and heading home.

This is cute. There is no service bell, just use your head to knock.

Goodbye! I hope to visit again soon.

Before heading back, I stopped by the train station and just caught the sightseeing train to the pine forest. Should I continue the journey?

This is funny. The rules still require the use of a bell, even though there are many other ways to signal. So, they have to put up a sign that says "No bell."

There are also shared taxis available.

Before heading back to Bangkok, we stopped for lunch.

This small, local eatery on Naeb Kesa Road is a hidden gem known for its delicious and affordable dishes.

Nai Chai Fish Noodle

The price is reasonable considering the quantity and taste.

Two siblings ran the shop themselves. When they were done, they closed the shop.

Assorted fish noodles

Dried yellowtail fish noodles

Delicious fish ball restaurants are hard to find. If I can find a taste like this again, I will definitely go back for more.

This is where we part ways for now. I will share more travel stories with you in the future.
