Will answer any questions you may have about the place. Easy and cheap to get to from BKK, and even ferry service from Pattaya. A good trip..good and bad about the place..just like everywhere else.
I visited a few places down that coast including Cha-Am, Hua Hin, and Prachuap Khiri Khan.
What was some of the good and bad that you observed?
I had a reservation for Cha'am, and emailed a friend with a question about it. He told me his house was vacant, and there was a key under the mat. Private pool and jacuzzi...only went to the very mediocre beach once. A big Scandinavian vibe, which means overpriced and unfriendly, but I made do. House is on the market for 8.6 million THB..on a 4300 st lot. Land is scarce down there. Chinese are just starting to infect the area.
It was hot for Thanksgiving. I read the meter, as I was conserving my friend's electric...was using 120 Kwh per day..or about 450 USD per month! Yikes..double checked and I had read the neighbors meter. One thing for sure, I would not want a large house, ever...just keeping the footprints clear, and the dust..no thanks.

This comment is so true. 1) I'm Scandinavian and it makes me sad that our people behave this way. 2) I currently live in Seattle (city full of Scandinavians) known for the "Seattle Freeze" in which people are rather unfriendly, aloof, quiet and anti social. I want to retire and move away from this epidemic.

Guess I won't be spending much time in Hua Hin!
Funny, I had heard of Minnesota Friendly, but not the Seattle Freeze. The Scandanavians are the most Winter oriented tourists, even more than the Canadians, and that adds a lot of fuel to the tourist trap fire. Saw a place with grilled corn on the menu..170 THB ....they sell it in front of my condo for 20 THB..or can get three steamed for 20 at the market.
