Hua Hin is cheap. I paid 450 baht a night with pool and gym. Forget about opinions. Go get what woman/man you want. Life is too short to worry about opinions. Most people are morons so who cares what they think.
Fit 52yos don't date 20yos back home either. Considered creepy. In Thailand most don't care. If religious people and gay people can have festivals and pride days why can't a fat 52yo be proud?
