avenue 88

[jingjoe]

Does anyone have any info on this place,is it easy enough to get to town at night and safe enough to ride/walk at night time.
Is it in walking distance of the beach,i understand its located on soi 88,but can't figure out how far up the soi it is
cheers

Its quite a way along Soi 88, I would say about 3 kms from the beach. I use 88 to ride/drive home quite often and never had any problems.

avenue 88 is before the new police station on soi 88 ,i would say 1 maybe 1 1/2 kilometres from the beach ,and they have a taxi service in to hua hin

there are 2 avenue 88s one avenue 88 and the other is excecutive 88

I know it has had an eventful past as the property developer got shot there:

[Edited: this has nothing to do with the topic, cannot be confirmed, and was discussed when events occurred several years ago.]

This is not the thread to discuss past events in this development.

Any attempt to continue down this road will see the thread locked.

Im interested in the one with the apartments,i think they use them for short and long term rentals as well as a few for purchase,they look quite nice on the net,i'm a bit scared now after reading a few comments as to whether it has a nice family atmosphere...........im hoping dressing up for dinner doesn't involve wearing kevlar

It's roughly 3.8 kms from Ave. 88 to beach, give or take couple of hundred meters.

The very minimum due diligence before committing yourself would be to ask around in HH. Visit a few bars, meet a few long-time residents and rent for a couple of months before buying.

Do not let anyone ever rush you into anything in Hua Hin!

Thanks for the map and the advice,im certainly in no hurry to jump into anything,im going to come up for another week and look around again soon,
cheers

Having lived in and rented properties on Avenue88(1) for 6 years the comment by scotian2012 was completely incorrect the developer is still building in Hua Hin and no shooting has ever taken place around or in this site. the reply by jingjoe just shows how ignorant ill informed comments, can create responses like " wearing kevla for dinner" which impact on the site and people who live there. Grimreaper I know you wanted no more discussion on this thread but scotians comment needed to be addressed as its untrue. cheers
