I have ben fortunate enough to travel most of Thailand from Songkhla to Mae Hong Som. I keep gavitating back to Hua hin.
I find the town endearing and it has enough bars to keep a single man like myself who likes both female and ladyboy company (not at the same time) occupied for the duration of my stay.
My only disapointment is that the only city served by Hua hin's airport is Chiang Mai so it entails a long road or rail journey to get there and leave there.
I was dissapointed to read the negative comments posted on this forum. Please do a little research before visiting if you have never been and to those of you that have visited the town why on earth did you return if you found it so distasteful.
Whilst most town in Thailand have a very few bars, even Hat Yai in the islamic south has half a dozen. Hua hin is blessed with an active P4P scene, fortunately it doesn't see the street fights and drunkeness common in the more popular resorts.
Each to their own I guess.
