Spent 3 days in Hua Hin. My wife's Thai family was with us. Has to be one of the most overrated places on earth. The beach is terrible. The city of Hua Hin is crowded and terrible. Loaded with Farangs and tour buses. Couldn't wait to get out of there as we were paying about $60 per day and that was after a 50% discount obtained by my nephew who works at this hotel chain. 23 years ago, when I lived in Thailand, it wasn't like this. It seems that every place you go, in the Land of Smiles these days, is a tourist trap.

Considering cutting my two month vacation short by a month and going back to civilization. Sorry, but the Thai people are doing it to themselves I'm afraid.
