Is Wonderland still worth a visit ?

Hello all, Next month I’ll be arriving in Hua Hin for my annual visit - apart from COVID, the 13th consecutive year ! I was wondering if a trip to Wonderland is still worth visiting (or is it too quiet now). The reason I’m asking is that the majority of nightlife videos on YouTube show the streets a...

Re: It will all be alright !

I am a long time visitor and pre Covid came over to HH 2/3 times per year with my family. We were over in March this year, not long after the country opened up and found that about 80% of shops and bars in the Bintabaht block were closed. The bars and restaurants which were open had very few custom...

Post Covid Hua Hin observations

I’ve been a member of this forum since January 2014 and although I rarely contribute, I’m a regular reader and feel the information shared gives me an indication of what to expect during our annual visit to the town. I’m guessing, but I think the majority of members on this forum live in Hua Hin wit...

The oil's gone, but now the sea's green !

After just returning from eight enjoyable days in Hua Hin – which involved a 3 hour walk on the beach each day in the area between the Hilton & Khao Takiab, I can honestly say the oil problem reported earlier on this forum has gone. This is based on the official, “dots of oil on the bottom of yo...

Re: Weather in Hua Hin & Thailand

Although I appreciate the regular updates on the weather on this thread, but which external site have you found to be the most accurate for a short term forecast (1 to 7 days). ?

Re: A lot of BIG Jellyfish at the moment

FYI - we walked a couple of miles along the beach everyday from 14th-22nd Feb and only saw a couple over the 9 day period. Hopefully the problem is reducing now.
(But the one's we saw were huge !)

Re: Sand flies in Hua Hin?

Yes, it was very bad this evening (no idea about other evenings). We walk about 5 miles, so fairly widespread. Is it worse than any other Thai beach at dusk? No idea. Any update please - is it still a problem and just as widespread ? Would you advise bringing any fly repellent with us (we arrive ov...

Bars closed due to public holiday

There were many bars closed last night (Friday) due to a public holiday. Rumour has it that this is a 3 day holiday.......although there were still some bars open, it was certainly quieter than normal. Does anyone know if this will continue over the full weekend ?

Re: Absolute best german food in town

' All in Hua Hin' is good too with a wider variety. Schnitzel, fried potatoes and large salad to die for. More expensive though Vastly overrated IMHO. Have been dragged there kicking and screaming on a number of occasions over the years. Have usually left full, but rarely satisfied. As you are a se...
