Hua Hin Thailand - Is This Living The Expat Dream?

Welcome back to the channel as I embark on my first full day in Hua Hin, Thailand, in search of the ultimate expat dream! Join me for Part 2 of my Hua Hin series. The day begins at a hotel that didn't quite meet expectations. I'll share my candid thoughts on this accommodation and how it measures up to the expat lifestyle.
I kickstart my day with a morning walk along the stunning Hua Hin Beach, a very chilled beach that is perfect for taking it easy. Next, I head off to find some local Thai street food.
The next stop is Khao Takiab Beach: A Popular Expat Destination. Join me as I visit the renowned Khao Takiab Beach, a beloved spot among expats. We'll explore the beach's charm and take a peek at the coastal condos that make this area so attractive.
I wrap up the day with a visit to the incredible Market Village mall complex. Discover the shopping delights and amenities this mall has to offer, perfect for expats seeking convenience.
Throughout the video, we'll have a candid chat about whether Hua Hin truly lives up to the Thailand expat dream. Is this the ideal place to call home for those seeking adventure, relaxation, and a taste of authentic Thai living?

    Hi Wayne. Loving your Hua Hin videos. We were in Hua Hin for a month in January. We stayed at La Casita condos. Lovely place and we got a very good deal. Best ones are looking outwards, the ones looking into the pool/gardens can be noisy. We found Night market, Tamarind market and Cicada market nice enough but touristy. The best markets where the Thais shop are Chatchai - a day time market lots of it undercover so nice to wander in when it's hot. Pae Mai Tuesday market is fab. Great big market with a big food court and live music too. Dinosaur Ruam Suk and Bon Gai are worth a look too. A great food court is Ban Khun Por. Very cheap (600 ml Leo 65 bhat) lots of choice from the many food stalls and great live music. So much to see and do in Hua Hin. Can't wait to go back. It was very busy when we were there, lots of folks on the beaches but as they are so big it was fine. Loved your Chang Mai stuff too. It was very helpful to watch before our visit there. Thank you.

    it looks like your visiting the beaches which are more rocky or harder sand surface. The nice sandy beach areas are where the resorts are. There is no beachside road in Hua Hin so the great sand areas are guarded by the resort access. You might want to go to Cha Am beach area for a walking video as well, there is a beachside road with pubs, walking street, and is also a weekend place, but can fill up with a lot more Thai locals. Cha Am gets overlooked by Cha Am, but it's more affordable and can be a fun weekend stay.

    Hua Hin is more of a weekend town. The wealthy Thai families visit on the weekends and when there is a festival the town fills up. Beaches are empty during the week. That area by the boat dock is Kao Takiab beach which will have many people on a Saturday. two of my condo's are right by that ferry dock and they are popular for 40-65 years olds.

But for that the room looks good value. It would be OK if you had a good sort up there and were hard at it for hours I guess 😂🤣😂 I'd have been down that beach at 6.05am renting a deck chair and crashing out to catch up on the lost zzzzs but you had a video to make. Have fun mate. Nice little appetizer this. Beautiful place. Looking forward to the upcoming videos from Hua Hin. 🤩 The ferry no longer operates mate.

    The line at Hua Hin will be a fine white color. and cleaner than Da Nang The sea water is warmer than in Da Nang. That's pretty cool. and the temperature is warm throughout the year. and no typhoon. 😊

    Hua Hin is not that much to the south, you still have a LOT to discover south of it :) And many tourist have had problems with water scooter scams and had to pay money to get rid of the sellers and the corrupt police.
