I took the train from the Donmuang railway station (just opposite the Don Mueang International Airport) to Bangkok. The train ticket is only 5 baht (20 cents Singapore)  for a 2-hour ride; of course the train is old and without air-con. From Bangkok Chinatown, I took another train to Hua Hin.         

Hua Hin has the best railway station in Thailand as the station is built for the royal families. Hua Hin is a rather small place and I think staying there for 2 nights is more than enough unless you want to visit the bars often.

There is a train library near the station. Surprising I saw a Singapore flag.

Though Hua Hin is known as a beach resort but I do not recommend you to waste your time at the beach as there is no sea sports. There was merely less than one full hand count of people at the beach when I was there.     

I stayed in this Les Bobo’s backpacker when I was in Hua Hin.

Food is all around the place where I stayed. There is also a lively night market.

During the day, I just walk around exploring the eating places.

Two years later, I went back to Hua Hin with Derek and Christine. This time, we discovered more places of fun and excitment in Hua Hin.

We took a tuk-tuk and asked the drver to show us the interesting places.

We went the food center for a late lunch.

We stayed in this Tid Tarad Hostel. I stayed with some foreigners and both Derek and Christine stayed in another room. There are food, such as fruits, bread, nuts and instant noodles, provided free for the guests all day round.

We also visited the old palace and the man-made flooding market.

Before we left for the next destination, we went the train coffee station to have a taste of the coffee in Hua Hin.
