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?

I moved down from China Mai a couple of weeks back and loving it here. Can’t beat a wander along a quiet beach with the sun rising ❤ try La Casita condos, amazing! Nice to see Farangs with their well chosen wives enjoying retirement and her enjoying being back in Thailand. My wife is happier now than she has ever been! Fewer stray dogs too which is a bonus.

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.

Beach isn't crowded as you're a month away from high season. The fact that the big hotels occupy a lot of the direct beach access is a bit off putting (but great if you're staying in one of these) Looking forward to arriving in Bkk Oct 5th. then onto CM for family visit. 😊

in some hotels they help you out when the noise gets too mush , you could get a room on the back of the hotel or a room without a window , though not having a person sitting at a desk could be a problem last i checked the ferry is indeed not running anymore , think it whent out of business during covid

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.

You need the next hotel to be off the beaten track mate. I'm guessing a few stiff scotches wouldn't dull the pain of the noise either seeing a couple of small Leos didn't do the trick. 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. They stopped it when the Covid lock downs started or thereabouts and it appears to have permanently ceased operation. Chai was looking at using it some time ago and found it had been suspended.

Don't forget Wayne, there's a foreign quote for all condos, Thai buyers have the majority, alot of these places will be empty till the w ends or holidays, that's when mainly Bangkokians will occupy their condos. When I was there 10yrs ago you could see during the week condos in darkness, come the weekend lights on.

Wayne, How do you like Hua Hin compare to ChangMai in terms of cost, conveniences, quality of life in general?

I will have a couple of videos coming on this subject buddy. Towards the end of the series 👍👍
I think there is a ferry from Pattaya. But maybe to the island. Big scuffle between operators for tourists. Govt. stepped in to reorganize. Anyway. "Johnny there is something.."" has vds there . And "Side trip life" has amazing vds. down south of Hua Han. Beautiful and cheap towns.

Don't think so, it's been stopped for a while .
I never seen so few people in a vlog like this since covid. It came across as a bit of a ghost town

It's really quiet. I'm guessing it gets rammed in the high season.

Absolutely it does Wayne, I spent 6 months every year there from 1998, saw it developing, there was no Market Village shopping mall, just a very small one on the main police station crossroads. Scandinavians started buying up housing developments just out of town.

I will move there one day from Chiangmai the only thing that concerns me is it gets ridiculously hot there in the hotter months

Yes! I could feel the heat once the sun came out. It was cool the day I arrived. It soon heated up though. The breeze down to the beach was nice though.
