move to Hua Hin

Post by hongkong »

Hi,

I am contemplating a move to Hua Hin. Lived in Asia/Hong Kong long term.
As a single female, of indiscriminate age, (let's say very early retirement )
how is living in Hua Hin.. Social life, ease of meeting people, yoga/pilates available? Golf yes for sure.. but life is not all about golf.. LOL.
for some of us..

How about finding reliable domestic help ?
Pet Care, vets.. hairdressers ect.. all the female stuff ?

Would appreciate your assistance...

many thanks

Welcome HK 8)

Lots of beauty places, quite a good hairdress in Market Villa.

Domestic staff should not be a problem, very cheap and good. 8)

Welcome

There are a couple of active ladies' groups in town which hold the usual lunches, nights out, book clubs etc. There are also several yoga groups. As already started there are a LOT of spa and hairdressers around town.

There are several vets in the area and a good kennels close to Cha'am
