The crowds returned to Hua Hin this weekend as domestic tourists visited in large numbers to celebrate the New Year.

 

Thai language media reported that scores of people visited Huay Mongkol Temple to make merit and pay respects for the New Year.

 

Meanwhile, at Hua Hin beach, many Thai and foreign tourists could be seen swimming in the sea, horse riding and eating seafood from the beachside restaurants.

Ditto. Glad I didn't even venture into town either.

Don't really want to see the horses, the tourists, the temple, or the beaches. I prefer the small Sai Noi Beach just minutes from my house. As for merit making, I don't bother. My ticket was punched years ago,

So crowds of visitors over the New Year break and now they’ve returned home restaurants are no longer permitted to serve locals, and returning visitors, alcohol with their meals, I wonder if there’s a connection?
