Jman888 Moderator June 20, 2018 Share June 20, 2018 why not rent a car and drive south? prachuap kiri khan has quite a long water front. Can explore, esp if staying 2 nites. http://www.prachuapkhirikhan.org/thailand-cutest-monkeys-prachuap/ not too sure abt the feeding part but these monkeys very cute n tame. I spent quite a bit of time (more than planned) observing them up close. yes that area has many interesting attraction especially the cave. Monkey i am not too sure as some can be quite aggressive. Rent a car and drive. U will need a car to visit the various places of interest like theme park, outlet mall, night market, malls and temples if you interested. Also the vineyard that @tohto mentioned that i never visit. Its a nice family-friendly area. Spend at least 2 nights there. Seafood is cheaper there, remember to order the giant prawns. Fish also cheap, standard price, not by weight. like you i am trying to convince my wife to let me drive ....... ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just use phone Google map. Most of the drive is on highway. Only in Huahin city center more crowded. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shibadog Turbocharged June 20, 2018 Share June 20, 2018 yes that area has many interesting attraction especially the cave. Monkey i am not too sure as some can be quite aggressive. yup lots of places to explore in that vicinity. U can even go to http://gothailandgoasean.tourismthailand.org/station-singkhon-border-market-thailand-myanmar/ if you have time to spare. It's 120km from Hua Hin yes some monkeys are aggressive but this particular breed seems very chill n "tame". ahh I found the site I was initially looking for https://www.travelandwildlifephotography.com/dusky-monkeys/ GPGT - this is a pic I took personally with a hp.

Just came back from there. I didn't rent a car from BKK to driver to Hua Hin but rented one in Hua Hin to drive around, $90 for 2 day. It was raining most of the time only get to visit the 1000 Sook Food and Farm, Premium outlet, Santorini, Cicada Market, Artist Village, Wat Huay Mongkol, Mercado de Plearnwan, both Bluport mall and Market Village mall. I stayed in the town area one street away from the Hua Hin night market. Seafood not exactly cheap where i had the 950gm lobster, 3 giant prawn, kangkong, crab omelette, FOC fried rice, few coconuts drink for about $115. Get a car from BKK airport. Driving there is relative easy. Just use phone Google map. Most of the drive is on highway. Only in Huahin city center more crowded. Driving out from airport to HH quite straight forward other than the first hour stuck in slow traffic, but going back to BKK town will be a nightmare. I used private taxi for both trips not exactly cheap but my wife dun want the stress (watching me drive was a stress to her) 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The seafood price lools reasonable to me leh. If you eat the same thing in Phuket, you will pay almost double liao. You should have driven back to BKK. No stress lah. Just go with the flow. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adrianli Hypersonic October 9, 2018 Share October 9, 2018 you all think pattaya or phuket cheaper ar? I think same same. Both equally expensive places. Krabi will be cheaper than these two.

Hua Hin is more peaceful, though there are also many ang mo tourist or residents (the car rental i got from run by ang mo), dun have a lively night life like Pattaya or Phuket, a more cultured place, maybe because the Royal stay here 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really want to drive into BKK with their traffic. The drive to HH is 3-4 hrs from airport? Edited December 13, 2019 by Lala81 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
