Hua Hin Quiet? Low Season Weekend Walkabout Markets Street Eats & more 

Take us to #Soinoi #soinoibeach Thailand

Hey Mr Side Trip Life, I had a question for you's. I'm travelling to Thailand to stay for 2 months or 3 months, but one thing I'm really going to miss is playing music (guitar) and practicing... Do you know of any options for people in Hua Hin to practice music in a way that doesn't have the potential to bother other people? I'm thinking something like recording studio or sound proofed room like maybe kereoke or something? Would also settle for somewhere outdoors just far enough away from others it wouldn't bother them if there's anything like that. Was just wondering if you had any ideas for something like that, or perhaps might know the prices on something like a sound room, or even if any of the hotels/apartment buildings happen to have one that guests can use? Thanks in advance! Life looks lovely in Hua Hin ^^

@@lahipster3172 Sure, Haad Sai Noi Beach + maak maak here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JH2ZdfUYxYo.html

@@taiyoctopus2958 There's loads of detached bungalows a bit away from town. I'm sure if you rented a motorbike and toured around you'd find one that's not too close to neighbours. If signing a lease, perhaps ask the owner of it's ok to sound proof or egg shell carton a room (non-permanently). Also hit HH FB groups and ask if anyone wants to jam, or has a place to play, you'll get like minded interest I'm sure (+trolls, just ignore;) Last, google 'hua hin recording studio' there's a few hits, not sure how active or up to date. Good luck. STL

sarcasm?

🙂

Gotta say I like the long format too but either way still the best vlogger.

Short or long, his videos are one of the best

As you well know Ant ;) Cheers, STL

Hua Hin is far more spread out vs 20 yrs ago but still charming too.

@@SideTripLife Yes it sure does look like it I am hopping to to vist latter on in the year, in the mean time I can get a lot of enjoyment from watching your vidoes. Look foreward to the next one. 😎👍

Cheers BB Oz! STL

What was name of food place or what soi?

Thanks Bill. Bit of a 'lazy' vid (for me at least;) but should be back to longer vids next time.

Good plan Howey, enjoy :)

Love the Okanagon too. Would be the perfect dual locations 6 x 6

@@SideTripLife Yes perfect 6 X 6, but it is killing us financially, we might pull the plug and go travelling full time, will sell our property in Canada, become non residents for tax purposes, just keep our investment portfolio ,and collect CPP and OAS in a year when I turn 65 (3 years for my wife)

Had to edit it out now as one of my troll stalkers flagged it lol

No doubt they will

Agree, nicest part of the Night Market

There's a U2 song in my answer but also spoilt for choice in Thailand

@@SideTripLife I know you like to check out the smaller towns but surprised if you really want to live "Where the streets have no name" 😂 jk

ahhhhhaaa.... thanks :)

Agree and she was just as nice as she is lovely :)

Me too, son

Plse ignore this question, I meant to ask about Jomtien beach

Finally got a bit of rain last week which helped break the heat dome. Next up is the annual wind/monsoon change from NE to SW which takes place usually mid-end May. This will bring rain/wind/waves to Phuket side but Gulf side (Hua Hin/Samui etc) is more protected thus less rain and calm seas initially for June-Aug (well, usually, we'll see;)

@@SideTripLife Thank you for your info., have a nice day ahead.

Was hot as balls but had a wee bit of rain so thankfully cooler now

Sure. As you cross the rd heading to to the top half of the night market it's the first place on the left.

Sai Noi? Sure, please see: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JH2ZdfUYxYo.html

Slightly irritated at this comment😉

There's a few fish markets but I was referring to the closed original one (Saphan Pla) which I pointed out.

Hua Hin is generally walkable, as it is flat and has better sidewalks in many areas than most other places I've lived in Thailand. Depending on where you are staying, there are likely plenty of restaurants, coffee shops, pubs, and other shopping options within a short walk. There is one primary baht bus line; the green line, which runs up and down the main Phetkasem Road between Khao Takiab at the south end of town to the airport in the north. This route passes many of the main shopping and night market areas. Grab and Bolt are readily available, and there are tuk tuks and taxis standing by at most busy locations too. Cheers.

Green songtaews run throughout the day from Takiab to north Hua Hin along Petchkasem Rd. 15 baht per trip. Personally find a bicycle to be the perfect mode of transport.

I always walk in HH

Near the old town

Don't know what type of place you like or what your budget is. In recent visits I've found the Chalelarn Hotel to be delightful, full of beautiful Thai artefacts and has a pool on the roof and jacuzzi rooms available. Outside it looks like nothing much, but inside it's lovely inside the rooms. Staff are very friendly and it's right in the middle of town, not far from the night food market. In June I will be staying at the Panisara Pool Villa. Never tried this one before. It's about 4kms out of town but transport is ok for me. The place looks lovely. At the other end of the budget scale you have the Anantara Hua Hin. Very upmarket and absolutely stunning to stay at. I've stayed many times at Anantara in HH and BKK Riverside. You pay for it but you get treated like royalty! Similar budget to the Anantara you have the Centara, a little closer to town.

@aussiesam01 Great suggestions. Would just add one of my favs PP Villa Hotel, despite older it's very clean, good pool, lovely staff, inexpensive, walk to beach, bars etc. @leonleslie, enjoy guys, so many great value hotels in HH, spoilt for choice.

@@SideTripLife Thanks for the suggestion STL, I must look that one up. If you're in HH during early June please let me know in this thread as I've promised you a couple of beers long ago for your very helpful advice here. Thanks!

lol sorry Joe ;)

@@SideTripLifeIt’s all good! Just jealous and wanting longer vlogs. Thanks again!

20 yrs or so and I should speak far better Thai

lol. Dear as in expensive? Was it the 500B room options, 159B Sunday Roasts or 40 baht Beers at BKP which put you off? As for bars, there's just far, far too many. Each to their own then, thanks for stopping by.

Town center near Clock Tower. Several other night markets around as well from Dino 1, 2 etc to Cicada

Have temp accom in HH but heading South in my car upcoming

La Cucaracha, clever, catchy name, great tune ;)

It was the busiest high season I've seen here in years. If you're talking bars, well, there's just way too many of them. If comparing to 'Phuket' (your username) I lasted just 24 hrs in Patong in high season and couldn't leave fast enough thanks.

Some other tubers 15 min vid: 'Appreciate all your hard work' / STL 15 min vid: 'Too short, you tired?' lol. No worries, will be back to the 40 min vids upcoming (and complaints of 'too long';)

Shouldn't feed an obvious troll but for the record, Bill's a great guy, admired the biz he built as well. Lil Justin, really? As a Vancouverite, totally breaks my heart seeing what's become of my beloved home town. Eby/Trudeau have no answers, giving free hard drugs, allowing open use, handcuffing police and on and on just encourages more of the same and makes me shake my head. Last, yep, at its heart Hua Hin is still a fishing village and personally so glad I;m here vs back home. Happy trolling. STL

Ok khrap (oops;) Joking aside, I only use that when joking (jing jing;)
