Sport can help bring people together and for members of a group in Hua Hin, walking and running has been a route to being more active and meeting new people

 

Every Saturday morning a group of expats and Thais meet up to run, walk and explore the trails and less beaten paths around Hua Hin and the surrounding area.

 

The Hua Hin Trail Runners, which started as a way for founder Paul Van Slyke to improve his own running speed and endurance has evolved into a popular group fostering fitness and friendship among the expat community in Hua Hin.

 

The group, which is organised via a Facebook group of the same name, is just over a year old, but now boasts more than 700 members.

Always someone who wants to put a spoiler on something. ????

Yup good for them expats and the few Thai women who joined them for the run.

  I have never seen many Thai men who ran, unless they had a real reason to, like being chases by 

a bunch of soi dogs, when they had some groceries, or their GFs ex boy friend. etc.

Y'all need to wake up at sunrise or earlier if wanting to see the local out for run.  Or prior to sunset, and any of the parks or surfside.  Both park & surfside areas are quite busy with folks running, walking where I live.
