Should we move to Hua Hin or stay in Phuket? Ep 64

This week we are off on a 8.5 hour road trip to Hua Hin to see how this city compares to the Island of Phuket as a place to live. Will it tick all the boxes for 'must haves' for our liveability? We check out the beach, play a bit of pickleball and have a look at four villas that are on the market.

    Hua Hin is definitely more quiet, less congested, and certainly way more affordable. For what I currently pay for rent in Kamala, I could easily rent a big house with pool in Hua Hin.

    Yes, agree. Properties that we looked at with the agent in Hua Hin would be at least double the price in the area we live in Phuket

    Hi guys, Lene and I are an Aussie couple looking to do the same as you. We also have a small channel with around 60 vids. On of the most important things that I was told when we had put a few vids out was to never start the video title with Episode ###. This wastes valuable space in the title and your vid may not come up in as many searches as nobody searches for Episode 61! We moved our Ep number to the rear of the title. Maybe try it with a couple of new vids and see if it makes any difference. I've subscribed and will see how you go! Cheers Simon. Ps maybe do a bit of a sort out of the home page to make vids easier to find. Keep all the shorts together etc. Good luck with everything 👌👌👌

    Thanks for your lovely feedback, I'm glad you have enjoyed the video! Yes there is indoor pickleball in Hua Hin. We played at the T Rex sport club - they are repurposed badminton courts, so not dedicated pickleball courts. They play a few times a week. You can visit their facebook page here and message directly. facebook.com/profile.php?id=100068094476586 - If you are visiting Phuket there are several places you can play... most of them are outdoor courts though.
