Very happy here. Live about 40 minutes from Hua Hin, nice well educated expats. None of the lowlife riffraff one finds in other resorts Feel safer here than in most other countries. Excellent government hospital with first-class facilities and doctors. Good shopping malls, first-class restaurants and some of the best hotels in Thailand. Thais are very friendly too. Nice people at the immigration Department and other government departments.
It is really a retirement place and younger people might find it a bit quiet. Limited nightlife. Not so good for swimming since the sea is very shallow. It is probably more expensive than other places and property prices are quite high. About 2 1/2 hours drive to Bangkok on a good road makes it the ideal place to live. If you like golf there are plenty of courses nearby.

... what is your monthly disposible income? ...

4 categories below "more than 40k baht" ???

- seems, HuaHin is tremendously cheap for an expat! (however, I did not get that impression during my last holiday in Hua Hin)

I gave it 2 years and found a very large Police force all needing extra money and a little night Life for my taste so I moved to Pattaya where this is right up my road...

Yes if you hang around bars and eat foreign food. If you don't then its cheap. We can buy 2 plates of Thai food for B 60 and 2 noodles for B 50. At our favourite restaurant we buy 5 dishes, without beers for B 280. It depends where you stay and your lifestyle. If you want to eat steak and drink in bars its expensive.

There are 2 hospitals in Hua Hin,...witch one would be that excellent government hospital ?.. according to some friends one is good the other is to be avoided at all cost !!! .. Personally Bangkok Hospital in Hua Hin saved my life a couple years ago....!?

Best regards.

I don't drink in the bars and not everything can be based on the cost of a beer

Farang food is expensive and house rents are to, as for houses to buy some of the houses are laughingly overpriced but as I always say if people keep paying then the prices will keep going up

Very nice, apart from that Bloody Big Monkey at the Watt on the Hill. .Nasty thing, dare not get out the Car.
