SURPRISED by My First Time in HUA HIN 🇹🇭 Best Beach in Thailand?

I lived in Hua Hin for 11 months in 2021/22 and have to say that the city was perfect for me to survive the pandemic. It is quieter in Hua Hin than in Pattaya and the city is more than just a beach. There are hundreds of gated communities and senior residences in the hinterland on the other side of the mountain. But from there it's a 10-15 minute drive down to the city. There are two large shopping malls and also a supermarket for imported food. There are also enough hospitals, including a Bangkok Hospital, but that's not cheap :) On the beach you often feel undisturbed; it is not as overcrowded as in the south of Thailand. It's a good thing that the supposedly "best" beaches are in the south. Then the tourists can step on each other's toes and fight over the deck chairs :) The nightlife is there and it feels like there are more bars than tourists, I keep wondering how they can all survive. In terms of rent, Hua Hin is cheaper than Pattaya. Massages etc are more expensive, more on a Bangkok level. Many restaurants are a little more expensive but still cheap for many of us. There are also two immigration contact points. As I said, up behind the mountain, that's where the big immigration is. But for the past two years I think there has been an immigration branch in the basement of the Blue Port Shopping Mall. In contrast to Pattaya Immigration, which is more of a "war zone" and extremely overcrowded, there are hardly any waiting times in Hua Hin. You can easily take the bus from Hua Hin to Pattaya, twice a day. Of course you can also take the train. Now also significantly faster because the route from Bangkok to Hua Hin has already been completed. There used to be a fast ferry at the pier at Khao Takiab. There the boats went from Hua Hin to Pattaya but the provider did not survive the pandemic and stopped the service. Hua Hin also has an airport but I don't know which routes you can fly from there other than Chiang Mai. I have already flown the route from Hua Hin. In the south of Hua Hin, Pranburi should also be mentioned. Pranburi has something that Hua Hin doesn't have, a pormenade. So a very, very long road along the beach. You can also cycle there because there are cycle paths. As mentioned, the beach at Pranburi is very spacious and there are still a lot of building sites available. There are very nice and expensive hotels there and it is much quieter than in Hua Hin. Ohh and before I forget it, there are many high class greens (golf clubs) in Hua Hin too. There is also a small zoo und a waterpark in Hua Hin near Holiday Inn Hotel. You can enter the rooftop-bar of Holiday Inn too. Its a great view.

Hua Hin has been Bangkokian backyard for 100 years, the former king residence, peaceful, safe, great street food, close to several hidden tourist places only known to locals.

I highly recommend you keep your hair shorter, you will look as stylish as a contestant of America's Next Top Model! Very sorry if you no longer like my comments! I only write the truth and give the best advice! 😅

You are doing a great job. I don't comment often on videos but your channel is an exception because you do it brilliantly. Calm, without any shouting, simple and interesting. Especially liked the trips to Japan and Korea. But you have many other interesting trips to see.

I recently found your channel and love the format of actual vlogging and not just having tons of drone shots with dumb royalty free music. The only thing that I find annoying is the fact that you buy sandals that are too small every time you go to a new place 😂

Back again with another good video, keep up the good work, good content always

Great work. That beaches clear water was amazing! ❤

Hey Zane! I love your videos I hav watched everyone of them lol. Do ppl ever look at you sometimes for talking to yourself lol!?

Enjoy, I too only arrived in Hua Hin on Thursday for the first time

Amazing beach ⛱️⛱️ love your videos zane😊

The video looks absolutely amazing I enjoyed watching it .

Average Thai folks dont go to this tourist area in Hua Hin. I highly recommend cicada market or other bars along the beach.

There is a place called baan kuhn por that at night serves cheap food and 40 baht changs. Many locals go there. You go down soi 88 across the tracks. A bolt I believe is about 70 to 80 baht.

Cicada is a very nice place to visit,nice handicraft,music,and of course a lot of good food.😊

Went there in February for a week .Took the bus from Bangkok.Think I'll try the train next time .Liked all the beach restaurants and night markets .The ladies at the biggest oldest night market do a mean massage.Go to bang bar shoot some pool with the ladies .Buy some drinks it will be fun .Massage ,Bangbar ,beach restaurant,catch the baht buses ,night markts 😅 good content .

You made me miss that place. I was very happy there. Thank you.

4:56 Can you imagine if you entered a time warp and it's actually 2023 there?

Cool video lots of good ereas u showed along the beach!

Nice feeling about hua hin for the first Time 😉🙏

Was in hua hin this past winter. Enjoyed it so much we went back for another week at the end of our 7 week thailand stay. Had everything without the craziness of pattaya and phuket

Thanks for sharing your experience in Hua Hin Zane! I was also curious about Krabi but its nice to hear you prefer Hua Hin over Krabi~ How was the weather in Hua Hin? I hear Bangkok and Chiang Mai are really stuffy and polluted during this time

Love the video

My favorite city in Thailand by far. Calmest, long quiet beach, less traffic, fewer bars, may move there from Jomtien.

Yes the penang chicken is the best. All i ever eat in the United States. Can't wait to make my first trip to Thailand in July.

Americans aboard. The gift that keeps on giving…

Great vid Zane. Which do you prefer so far Pattaya/Jomtiem or Hua Hin?

Hua Hin so beautiful beach and nice city.🤗🙂👍❤️🎉🎊

I have stayed at that very hotel no problems a couple of sisters manage and run it. I stayed one floor below you. You aren’t far from the night market.

Definitely a young backpacker's hole-in-the-wall if you are just partying

U should try oraya Thai restaurant right lane beside Hilton hotel

To be honest,warm water is nothing good. No chance to cool down from the heat.

ยินดีต้อนรับค่ะ🙏

ขอบคุณที่มาเที่ยวที่ประเทศไทยนะครับ กดติดตามแล้วเรียบร้อย

Who else was ,,, The TP is on top of the friiiiidge :D

Thailand ❤

14:05 ฉันไปหัวหินมาหลายครั้ง แต่ไม่เคยไปตำแหน่งที่คุณไป ไม่เคยพบแม่ที่ให้ลูกทำงานกับคนแปลกหน้า ไม่รู้ว่าหญิงคนนั้นเป็นคนไทยหรือต่างด้าว เพราะต่างด้าวเข้ามาขอทานและทำผิดกฎหมายในไทยมากมาย ฉันไม่คิดว่าจะเป็นคนไทย..ฉันจะเข้าไปแจ้งตำรวจหัวหินให้ไปตรวจสอบ ขอบคุณที่พูดถึงเรื่องนี้ในคลิป ขอบคุณค่ะ

I just found a guest in a motel insert a tag and quickly pull it out to turn on the electrical system in the room. I would be very surprised if the light came on 😳😳

😊ยินดีต้อนรับ คุณกลับมา ประเทศไทยอีกครั้ง🎉🎉🎉

Its called a wet floor bathroom i like enclosed shower so i don't slip on the floor that can be a holiday killer 😊 !

13:07 -> It's 'Kap kun krab' ....women say 'Kap kun kah' .... 26:52 -> The dragons are guardians of the temple....

I like this word"Aroi mak mak", don't forger to cicada market.Lloyd and mandy youtuber move to huahin( form canada). I will support you by not scrip advertising any time.nice to see new video.

Next stop Koh Samui! 😅🌴🇹🇭

❤❤❤

At 8:28 minute , What you see is called a gourd or pagoda, used to burn silver paper, gold paper, or fireworks to pay homage to the Chinese ancestors. 🎆🎇🧨🎉🎊

I stay half a year every year and Hua Hin last year the price was 40 how code 80 to 120 THB

I wish i had remote work so i could go for a while. Tired and burnt out of california.

✌️

Hua Hin has a nice beach, but to call it the best is likely a reach. There are dozens and dozens in this country and many of them are amazing and beautiful.

That is so cheap. $14 is a steal.

lol so guessing nothing interesting happened on the walking street after 7? The video just ended to the next morning 😂

🥰🥰🥰

what does those eyes mean?

not the best beach(coz southwest have them all), but the best beach city for sure. it has everything from shopping malls to beautiful caves while remains peaceful (except during holidays)

The beaches are average, in Hua Hin. The further South, the nicer water

Where’s all the tourists? It sort of reminds me of how bare the beaches were when you were visiting Dominican Republic, you were in 4/5 Star Hotel and now you’re staying at a $14/night hotel? This place doesn’t look appealing to me, IMHO. I’d rather stay at Hilton and be more comfortable in an excellent hotel. 7pm is a little early for people to go to the bars in Thailand, even in Bangkok they all go out later at night, that’s probably why there was no people watching for you.

คุณจะกลับบ้านคุณแล้วเหรอคะ อย่าเพิ่งกลับเลยค่ะที่เมืองไทยยังมีเล่นสงกรานต์กันอีกนะคะ

Welcome to Thailand I’ll say Hua Hin has beautiful beaches but terrible people 😂 (my personal experience) I’ll go Pranburi beach, not far from Hua Hin, instead

Might want to edit at around 13mins...

Looks to crowed for .e under those umbrella, need something more laid bsck with less ppl 😂

barley fit? they don’t fit !

why you scared of brothels 😂

Here we go again another race to the bottom cheap Thai budget vlog 🥴🥴🤣🤣

One of the worst !! HHis not known for best beaches 100%

Offended by a cat calling bar girl? Leery of walking down a walking street in sleepy Hua Hin? lol Poor guy... he must have been traumatized.... You picked the wrong country for your journey... you missed north by one country... just head south to Malaysia .... or of you like it really buttoned up ... keep going south to Singapore... where annoying others by singing in public, will land you in jail for three months.. Seems more your speed.

Trashy town...motel room was gross!!!!!!!!!!!!!! one of your wore vids ever!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great video! Thanks for posting. Is there an email address or something I can contact you on? Have a couple of travel based questions I'm hoping you can help me on. Thank you
