What's a great night out in Hua Hin... for you?

[Michaelaway]

A friend and I are coming to visit Hua Hin next month. Realizing that everyone has their own idea of fun, please give us your personal opinion: What's a great plan for a night out in Hua Hin? 

Thanks a lot!

Depends, what's your idea of fun?

Hua Hin's not as "party " as her Patong and Pattaya cousins.

Skirt surfin, body shots, some dancing and a late night skinny dip.

 

Watch out for sharks....both in and out of the water.

kite surfing is definitely a daytime sport....skirt surfing is for the evening hours, when the breezes are still stiff enough to lift the gals skirts above their knee..ses.

Best night out? Anywhere with my wife and son.

My wife and I were there just this week.  Great place!

 

Since I was with the wife, I can mainly only speak to dining, lol

 

The seafood places at the night market are spectacular!  I can't remember the name of the one we went to (twice) but it was about 4 or 5 places down.  They all look good!

 

We also went to this restaurant right on the ocean.  Ask someone at your hotel, they will know the place.  Very expensive, but live seafood.  Delicious!

Yawn  Yawn, oh sorry I am getting ready for a great night out in Hua Hin, guess night market, Swenson's Ice Cream, and home to bed by 9:30 pm.

 

If it is women, booze, drugs, wild times, you'll never forget, go to soi 2 in Pattaya, or Walking Street, if you get out alive, you'll have a experience of a lifetime.

A run and a drink with the Hua Hin Hash House Harriers, not necessarily in that order. Great way to enjoy a social evening, meet locals, both Thai and Farang…OnOn

[BV70]

Chao Lay Seafood restaurant is possibly the best restaurant in town with some Bangkok Thais doing the round trip to Hua Hin of a weekend just to eat the fresh fish.

 

Nightlife, frankly, is a bit dull with the main tourist square being the centre of the pricey bar area. Aggressive local 'hostesses' manhandle you into the bars then leave you to your own devices if there's a soap opera on telly or a particularly difficult level on candy crush to master and you're not prepared to pay inflated lady drink prices.

 

I was there last week and seemingly there's an still an unexplained midnight curfew in place, with the police whizzing around on bikes closing any bar that dare serve alcohol or play music after Cinderella hour.  After which, your only choice appears to be the after hours 'disco' the the Hilton, with a bottle of Singha costing around 200b and the police outside itching the close it as soon as the clock strikes 2am. A bit frustrating if you're after a party into the wee hours and the crowds gather outside the Hilton scratching their heads and wondering what to do other than retire to bed.

 

Nice place to relax on the beach and fill the daylight hours however.

Dinner at Terrace 90, a movie at the mall and ice cream at Swensen's after.

[ggt]

I like to take a blanket down to the beach...with a bottle filled with gin and tonic...and swat mosquitos....may get dengue fever...but will not likely get VD...

[Emster23]

Bingo night at church is high on most travel guide lists

[saakura]

Would highly recommend the friday evening seafood buffet with fine wines at the Dusit Thani Hua Hin which is actually in Cha-am. The tables are laid out right on the beach.

[Michaelaway]

Ok! Many thanks to everyone for their thoughtful replies to the op...

 

So far, we've got: reading books & drinking cocoa (where are we, Vermont?); "skirt surfing" (huh?), body shots (where, when, how?), going somewhere/anywhere with Mrs. Falcon & Falcon Jr. (sounds kinda weird...), skinny dipping, overpriced seafood, ice cream, beach blankets, bingo & the night market (zzzzzzz, sounds kinda dull...).

 

We realize that Hua Hin isn't Patpong, Pattaya or Phuket- but, really- we're asking about your idea of a GREAT NIGHT OUT, here! There's got to be more options for p.m. fun in HH city!! Come on, you men-about-town; you bon vivants who really know how to have a good time, rise to the challenge! We could use a few more ideas... please!

How on earth are we supposed to know what you consider to be a ' great night out ' Do you want good food , adventure , sex , to get drunk and party , listen to music or try a lady boy ?
If you simply want a list of every possible activity I suggest you read a few tourist sites , then you can come back and ask us if you would enjoy them lol

Did you not read his two posts? He's asking what YOU consider a great night out. 

[joecoolfrog]

What do I consider a great night out , depends on my mood , if the gf is in tow and how much spare cash I have.Its a dumb question unless some context is provided. Edited July 13, 2014 by joecoolfrog

[USNret]

I don't get it.  OP asks what others consider their great night out & most responded with constructive replies.  This apparently didn't meet some as-yet unspoken criteria.  I toss it back to the OP -- what do YOU consider a great night out?  Then others can tell you when, how, or if it can be done.

Depends, what's your idea of fun?

Hua Hin's not as "party " as her Patong and Pattaya cousins.

SDM

Yes, but some of us feel that Patong is a blight zone. I do not think I would ever spend another evening in Patong, unless someone agreed to pay me at least $5000 US. It is akin to visiting a garbage dump, or worse. Even if I was into that scene, the prices are simply mind boggling. Discos run by crime families who get their patrons killed in fires, due to a complete lack of safety standards. Then buy their way out of trouble when arrested? A history of the most corrupt mayors on the planet. Reminds one of Boardwalk Empire. Congestion so massive, not a parking lot in sight. Everything is wrong with Patong. Patong makes Hua Hin look like Monte Carlo. Very good food, a great bar scene, and so much more than Patong will ever have. Really, the only thing Patong has over HH is better beaches.

Sorry, I always try to be helpful and answer questions on here but I just don't do nights out.  After living in Hua Hin for 10 years, the only time I go out after dark is on special occasions when we go to a nice beach-side restaurant for a good (usually overpriced) meal.  Other than that, we are home evenings.

 

Hua Hin is very slow... dead... quiet during low season when you will be here so most of the things to do have already been suggested.

 

This question is pretty vague and open to vague answers.  Michaelaway, give us YOUR idea of a great night out in some other city which you name... then maybe we will have a better idea of what you are looking for and something to compare to.

And we gave you our idea of a great night out. Anyway 'wink wink nod nod', think you may have better choices of a 'great night out' in Pattaya or you can try the Nana area in Bangkok.
