I'm a first category (5 years) and was a second category for 5 years in Africa. I consider myself very lucky and as a first category member one tends to merge into the culture more readily. I'm lucky because my time is split between Hua Hin which at times resembles Blackpool in the UK, and a village...

That is key if you are to fit in with the local residents It's has mostly middle class Thai neighbours, few dogs, 2 minutes from the beach, plenty of walkable eati...

Re: Age differences in Hua Hin
