Hua Hin

Well what can one say about Hua Hin....Not a lot really. It's definitely set up for the resort style tourist (sorry Dan) and not much in the way of a backpackers heaven. If you are Scandinavian have a lot of money and just want to work on your tan by the pool than it's the place to be....But I was there to see my brother Dan, his partner Alex, friends and Alex's Mum and Dad.
Hanna and I decided to go all out and get a room with aircon after almost perishing in the heat on the islands and this is where we spent most of our days. Or in the fridge style aircon of starbucks, enjoying an ice blend coffee to sooth our addiction.
The only time we ventured out was to have a stroll round on the beach...Not a good idea...All you do is get harassed by the bar staff that have a million deckchairs set up on the beach...Missy Missy you want a drink???
Or to meet Dan for dinner and to venture to the markets where I got a great price for a silver Buddha!!! Man can I barter!
Oh I also forgot...We did go, after much persuasion on my behalf, to the tattoo shop where I welcomed Hanna into the realm of the tattooed tarts association..
She had a gecko tattooed onto her ankle and he has affectionately been called Hin..(she really did want it I just gave her a little nudge to have a little confidence to do it..Honest!)
