JemJem Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 (edited) Hey folks. It has been ages since I last posted in the forum. Happy to be back. Anyway, I am back in Thailand after nearly 3 years. I saw a similar thread here but that one was several months old so I started a new one. I am in Bangkok now. Actually, I am planning to go to Hua Hin next Friday. For at least a week. Some recent videos and comments on YouTube made me think like the place is still very much empty. Is that so? I am not much of a hardcore nightlife guy anymore, but I was hoping the place was gradually getting back to late 2019 levels, when I was there last. For example, is the huge beer garden near the middle of Soi Bintabaat up and running as before? That place is one of my favorite ones. Also, how about the venues along the main street just off the beach? Cheers. Jem Edited November 12, 2022 by JemJem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparktrader Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Nightlife no idea. I stayed in the southern part. Mostly old guys in HH. Some looked totally lost. Hardcore nightlife I dont know what that is. Plenty of farangs at train station. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maha Sarakham Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Nightlife is no where near 2019 levels, it is still fairly quiet in Hua Hin at those venues. Pattaya has made a huge recovery though if you want it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pmbkk Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 We're back this week too. I think I read the same thread - seemed to be much quieter & some places closed down(not that it was ever busy, busy) I was thinking of popping down for a 4-5 days - luckily one of our condos is in Rama2 so we can get off early. That road is a nightmare from BKK - esp' now due to roadworks ( My wife went back in March and the traffic was awful) If it's quiet, there maybe some good deals at the high-end hotels etc. The ones we've looked at in BKK/Samed/Pattaya are pretty normal prices for time of year. We're just looking for a few decent bars/restaurants and nice beach area ( and me access to watch the world-cup ) in a decent hotel ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JemJem Posted November 12, 2022 Author Share Posted November 12, 2022 Cheers, folks. I think I will go there, because if I don't go, I will probably feel sorry later. 7-10 days in Hua Hin should suffice this time. There were times when I stayed there for 2-3 weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind the first two weekends of December are long Thai weekends that many Thais will be traveling. Many hotels are expensive those weekends already. Hua Hin tends to attract a lot of Bangkokians for the weekend, so book early in the place you want to stay if you intend to be there during those two weekends.

I wonder if they picked HH by mistake. There isnt much to do there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Michaelaway Posted November 13, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted November 13, 2022 "There isn't much to do there." Whoa! Don't listen to all these uninformed naysayers. Sure, many of the old places have been forced to close, but Hua Hin has rebounded now and is bustling! Lots of good restaurants, food courts, happy hours and entertainment areas. Bintabaht (not what it was before, but still active), Soi 80 (many bars; mostly older farang residents as customers; cheaper drink prices & lots of ladies) and Soi 94, which has countless bars (several with live bands) & restos as well as 3+ bar areas: Wonderland 1, 2 & 3 and Oasis with countless ladies and customers of all ages from many countries. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woke to Sounds of Horking Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 What about kitesurfing in Hua Hin? I've been reading it's one of the best places to do that in Thailand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

observer90210 Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 What about the Malls and large furniture stores ? (Market Village, Bluport etc) Are they well stocked in goods, furniture, appliances considering that the Chinese confinement has ended ? Prices reasonable ? Thanks for any info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michaelaway Posted February 6, 2023 Share Posted February 6, 2023 IMHO, Hua Hin is back to, "Business as Usual." And, it keeps getting better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
