011 – Jan 23 – Arrive Hua Hin

Today is Friday 6 January. I went sightseeing again with Pani, in Bangkok yesterday, but I was feeling a bit ill. I had been shivering in bed, most of the previous night. We went to visit another temple in the afternoon, and then went to Benjakitti Park. The park is somewhere I had wanted to go after seeing it on YouTube. It is a massive park with lakes and high level walkways over a wetland eco system. It was so peaceful just walking around looking at the nature. In the evening we went to China Town, it is mad busy. I just watched Pani eat, I was not feeling good and asked if we could get a taxi home.

The next day I wasn’t feeling much better. Today was the day Pani was driving me to my next destination, Hua Hin. It is a seaside town with a population of about 85,000 people, mostly locals, but there is a large expat community. It has about 5 km of beach with lovely golden sand.

It is about 250 km south of Bangkok on the western coast of the gulf of Thailand. It was about a 4 hour journey (traffic jams) .

Hua Hin Accomodation – Baan Klang Condo

The accommodation in Hua Hin is in a condo. I have rented it for 7 weeks and I am here until 24 February. We visited the night market, close to where I am staying and then had some food. It was early to bed for me I wasn’t feeling good at all. Pani left early next morning, she had to drive back to Bangkok, she was working.
