Night Life Hh

[infinity11]

thai, farang, both?
what to do at night?
looks like a quiet little town
no problem with that
but if someone wants some action
where are the people?
where are the thai glas?
and anything else at night
thanks

recently overnighted in hua hin (or as a thai friend says, thonglor by the sea) on a drive up from suratthani.

avoid soi bintabaht and environs unless you want to see where skanks go to expire.

A mate and i spent an hour watching the yaba dealing lads and the ladies on the pipe dancing out front of some sort of karakoke live music bar just up from the 7--11 there. we were back at the hotel and asleep by midnight with no complaints.

[candypants]

well it would seem the deafening silence on this topic is a fair indicator of what hua hin by night has to offer

[thaicbr]

just .. go on down and have a walk round.. not difficult..

there are a few places up near Hilton.. It would seem there is a rocking brilliant club about 5kms outside Hua Hin between Cha am and hua hin..

El Murphys if you like live rock with no "skanks' as candypants eloquently put it

I was watching my dog lick its balls just now and I would geuninley say, without any attempt at humor and in complete and honest truth I must say it was more entertaining than any night out I have ever had in Hua Hin.

I live here because there are ok shops, half decent supermarkets, good for walking the dog on the beach and its close to Bangkok and the southern islands.

if I want a good night out on the lash, I do it elsewhere to be honest.

The dog just farted. That also was more entertaining. Im usualy entertained by my dogs fats though - the mixture of his nonchalant expression coupled with my mrs running for cover is hillarious. But I digress, I appologize. Yah, Hua Hin is <deleted> for a night out.

Could it be, that Cha-Am is worse?

Last time I was there, I was directed to Soi Bus-Station. Yes, there actually were a handful of Farang bars. Covering all those bars, I counted exactly 2 ladies that displayed "availability" that night.

Wow !!

Cheers.

I have found the small bars on the south side to be fun and the ones located up and down the higher numbered soi

yeah its really, really boring here - all the hookers go to the 'cat bar' aka karaoke after the hooker bars close at about 2am.

the hooker bars are in soi binterbhat and also soi 80 - soi 80 is even worse than soi binterbhat as the girls are even more ugly than the ones at soi binterbhat.

I plan on heading to bangkok or maybe pattaya for a night out this weekend as its that bad here - ok for a base, but v.v.bad for a night out.

if you can stand thai music all night long, you could head to 'HI 4' which is very close to soi 7 heading towards Cha Am - its busy with loads of thais - all you do here is get a bottle of whiskey and a few mixers and get drunk at a small table standing up - sometimes even have a thai band playing even more thai music.

Thanks for this honest "input". But it's not for me!

Lets not forget what Hua Hin is and always has been. A little over a hundred years ago it went from a simple fishing village to a royal resort when the then King visited and liked it as a place to get away from Bangkok for a rest. It grew slowly until about ten years ago as a Thai family resort area and primarily remains that to this day as evidenced by the recent construction of Thai family attractions such as the floating markets, Plearnwan, and Cicada market. It was relatively unknown to foreigners up until about the time I arrived came ten years ago. Even though it was discovered by masses of foreigners in the last decade, it still remains mainly a royal retreat and a weekend/holiday resort for Thai families escaping Bangkok. They own most of the condos and that's why the traffic is so much worse on those weekends and holidays.

They don't come for night life and they stay away from it so the amount of that has remained pretty much constant for the last decade confined to a small area near the Hilton and is just for the expats and western tourists to have a place to let off steam.

If night life is your primary goal, then Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket, or Samui should be in your travel plans. If relaxation, good food, and golf are your plan, then come to Hua Hin.

Well put HHF - I agree

[UKJASE]

i think hua hin is great for a night out..... if you have some good company then there are plenty of bars and beers and girls about, plus a few discos worth checking out late on

surely better than a lot of the towns and cities near to where i am from in england

its warm, its cheap, the food is good...... happy nights

Went there once and a few bars but as for fun, full of 40+ year old mongers posing as 'cashiers' that mostly smelt like dirty buffalos......most already had their long term cash cows so service not the best.....still if that sort of thing rocks your boat its ok

[seasia]

I enjoyed my visit there earlier this year.

Good food, good service, laid back and friendly.

Never bored.

It made a refreshing change from Pattaya, which is where I live.

Band at El Coyotes a match for the best here.

I`d happily go again for a break.

Maybe they changed the name

Apologies, El Murphys.

Live in HH, play elsewhere. BUT, it is Thailand and fun is never far away. Lots of nice cute ladies who don't work bar. Chat them up, take them out.

[ejpool44]

I wish Hua Hin was still the same as it was 10 years or more ago, it's growing too fast as it is. I liked the way it was, almost time to find a quieter place a little further south.

Hua Hin is about to spill over, or become a mirror image of Pattaya.

Cha-am is like a Thai version of Eastbourne, certainly as far as the ex-pat population goes. 'Exciting night life' in Cha-am doesn't exist.....
