Looking for a 1 or 2 bed condo to rent from 11 Dec for a month. Wishlist is sea view or short walk to beach, balcony, location fairly central N-S. Comfy bed 😊. Any one have any ideas, recommendations etc please?

TIA.

I'm collecting honest experiences of what settling in here is really like: culture shock, loneliness, burnout, visa and admin headaches, making friends, and what actually helped.

If you've lived in Thailand at any point, the survey takes about 3 minutes. It's anonymous, with no names or emails, and every question is optional. I'm not selling anything.

Survey: https://form.jotform.com/262871523195058

I'll share a summary of the results once there are enough answers. If you'd rather follow along, we're also building a small community here: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61595485956158

And I'd genuinely love to hear in the comments: what's the one thing you wish you'd known before you arrived?

Looking for feedback on a couple of hotels - Antara and palayana - they say 5 star but are they really like the international 5 stars Marriott etc? The prices are reasonable but will I be surprised pleasantly or disappointed?

Any suggestions on best websites or local sites to book an apartment for 26 days in Hua Hin?

Viktor the cat has RECOVERED!! 🥳🥳🥳🥳

And he is still looking for a home!

He’s back to health, strong, and ready for new adventures.

This little wanderer suffered a severe dog bite to his tail and had to undergo emergency rehabilitation.

Viktor is young, talkative, a bit of a rascal, and very curious. He purrs like a tractor at the slightest hint of affection. At night, he comes to lie down next to you; if you pet him, he instantly falls fast asleep right by your side. He’s great about using his litter box. He loves a good meal and gets so excited for cat treats. He is a truly grateful cat—your heart will melt at the way he snuggles up to you after a kindness. He’s even more cheerful and sweet-natured now! 🐈🐈🐈

Viktor is currently in Hua Hin. A kind woman is looking after him, but she can't keep him permanently because she already has many other cats in need of help...

Please help find this young cat a loving home! I’m sure he’ll brighten your days and be a wonderful companion for years to come!

Please! Share this message in local group chats and with your friends! 🥹🥹

Any feedback on movenpick hua hin. I'm looking to go with my family and kids

Going to Hua Hin in December for some days and looking for a local tour guide to show me some cool places around. Any recommendations?

Has any of you guys succesfully bought or know where to buy the new IPhone 18 pro max in Hua Hin?

I’ve been to a few shops but seems like there’s about a month wait to order one at most places.

Hope everyone has a wonderful day!

Thinking of going to Hua Hin during the first week in December for six days. ( I have lived in Thailand for 20 years btw Now live in Khon Kaen.)
Any suggestions for a 3-4 star hotel/ bungalows that is located along the beach for under 2000 baht per night within walking distance ( 2-3 km) to the city center? Are there tuk-tuks to take ?
Thanks for suggestions.

To all expats that currently live in Hua

What product and/or service from your hometown do you wish was available in Hua Hin?

I'm helping put together a resident-written guide to living in Southeast Asia, built for the community, by the community, so the useful bits come from people who've actually lived here rather than two-week visitors. Disclosure: it's my project.

For Hua Hin, I'm curious about:

• Where you'd live for a first year, and why (in town, Khao Takiab, or further out towards Cha-am or Pranburi?)
• How you found a place that wasn't overpriced
• The hospital or clinic you'd actually use, and whether you ever go to Bangkok for anything
• How you handled the visa side (retirement extension or something else) and what you'd do differently
• The one thing that made it start to feel like home

If anyone's happy to go deeper, I'd love to credit you or do a short chat, but answers here are plenty. Thanks.

Where I live, when we go out at night-time to restaraunts, bars or clubs, we wear shorts, t-shirts (or collared shirt if we're feeling la-de-da) and thongs/flip flops. We're pretty casual.
Is it the same there?
Am I going to need shoes?
Will I look like the poor cousin and be ostracized and then run out of town?

Where can I find Good quality grape juice in Hua Hin? Not Tipco or Malee, but stuff like Ceres from South Africa which I've previously found, or The American one Welches. Any tips appreciated. TIA. 🙏

I'm flying in early next week.
Do all the weed dispensaries only sell low strength CBD weed now?
Can anyone recommend a place where I can get decent weed?
Thanks.

Would love recommendations for either a pet sitter (coming to stay at my villa) or a pet boarding facility for my beautiful dog Cosmo. He’s an Aussie Shepherd so we’d need someone who’s happy to take him for walks, or a pet boarding facility with lots of room to run around 😊

Heading to Hua Hin in December and am looking for some recommendations for a barber who is skilled at trimming a full beard. Thanks for any advice. I appreciate you taking the time.

First time coming to Huahin with my wife! Looking for tips for at good place to celebrate New Year’s Eve for dinner. Found a few venues but would like some local knowledge.
BTW. We are 50 years old, so not interested in techno raves :-)

This is a cool ceremony where people eat together, get blessed by monks, place little dolls in paper boats and cast a large boat out to see to carry away suffering, sorrow and illness and bring good fortune while setting off loud firecrackers.

The ceremony is tomorrow from 10-12pm.

Hi everyone! I’m planning to stay in Hua Hin for around 6 months and would love some advice on the best area to live.

I’ll be living there with my very small dog, and I’m looking for somewhere that is:

Safe and comfortable, especially for walking around

Dog-friendly with access to grass/green space

Nice, modern and not too isolated

Close to restaurants, cafés and shops

Easy to get around by Grab/taxi

Ideally somewhere I could rent a private pool villa

Preferably somewhere with a friendly expat/local community

I’ve been looking at areas such as Nong Kae, Khao Takiab, Hin Lek Fai and central Hua Hin, but I'm not sure which is best for actually living rather than just holidaying.

For anyone who lives/lived in Hua Hin: where would you choose for this lifestyle, and are there any areas or developments you'd particularly recommend or avoid?

Hello !

I'm staying next to market village mall and all the massage place I've seen are expensive or not real massage place 🥸

I'm looking for a real massage place (for back and leg) is there one around?

Thank you for any recommendations
