I'ma VERY longtime resident but I've been to Hua Hin only twice and did/saw very little there. In a week we are off for 10 days there -- that's me, my wife, my mother and stepfather, and my son (7and half ) and daughter (2 and a half).

My breathtakingly tightfisted (but goodhearted noetheless) wants to take the kids (or all of us) to do something and knowing that we are on the tightest of budgets these days and have splashed out a LOT for this trip, insists on paying. I am certain she will be surprised at what it will cost and change her mind but who knows? Maybe one of you can surprise me...

Cheap fun for 2 young kids. That's what we're looking for (more emphaiss on cheap than fun I'm afraid; but they get a privative pool, video games, literally hundreds of animate films and cartoons, and dozens of toys for 10 days; they'll have plenty of fun.) Anyone got an idea of two?

As always, any help will genuinely appreciated and gladly returned in kind...
