The gang that going with me this time was the gang that we went Cambodia together last year . Take off from KLIA2 at 10.40 a.m and Reach Don Mueang International Airport At 11.30Pm ( Thailand local Time -1 hour ) mean malaysia time 12.30 p.m . it's take 2 hours flight . After Touch down to the ground , we need to walk a short runway to entered the building for luggage pick up and passport examination .

I get myself internet data from True Mobile company that located at the passpost check Exit , there was few more mobile company to be choose too . the lower is 200 baht for internet data only or 299 baht comes with internet data and calling usage .

Walk out from the airport main entrance Turn right go straight till end of the airport building then there was a bus stand beside Family mart . From there You can take Bus no. A2 , 29 , 59 and 510 or Take a cab for 160 Baht to Victory Monument , Stop or walk to Century Plaza .

From the ticket counter here , You can buy Van ticket to all outstation in Thailand . Get your Hua hin Van ticket here for 180Baht per person and they will charge another 180baht as one pax for the luggage at the first counter when you walk in . The drive takes about 2½ or 3 hours to reach Soi 57 Hua hin . We was unlucky because we get a van that uncomfortable with poor air conditioner and noisy driveshaft . We either sleep , reading some book or enjoy the scenery along the way .

Hub Hua Hin 57

5PM - CHECK IN Great choice and Highly Recommended for this hotel , 3 minute walk to public transportation drop from Bangkok from The property . Location is perfect because it's near city center , eateries , night market , and the beach . Staffs were very helpful and The room is clean and spacious .

Hua Hin Night Market

9PM - We settle down our last stop at Hua Hin Night Market , Shopping and food hunting is a must at this night market , Reasonable price For seafood too but we didn't manage to eat the big lobters since there was alot street food that need to be in our stomach .

Traveling whole day was tiring for us , We settle down our foot massage at rosemary massage that located just next few door from our hotel . good service and friendly staff .

DAY 2

Koti Restaurant

9PM - Before visiting the Hua Hin railway station , the most important thing was to find a restaurant right in the town for breakfast . This Koti Restaurant was recommended by our local Tuk tuk driver . this is the oldest restaurant in Hua Hin .

Must try CP Le Pan Bananas when you are in bangkok , get them at every 7-11 store in thailand .

Hua Hin Railway Station

Santorini Park

12.30PM - 20 Minute drive from The Venezia to Santorini Park , Entrance fee is 150 baht per person , A handful of good photography spots . we felt like we were in Santorini because the design and color look alike to the real santorini in Greece .

From Century mall need 20 minute walk to reach Gateway Hotel , while walking we saw this lady selling local foods that prepared nicely and can be eat on the spot . what can I say is the food are damm awesome and really cheap .

6.30PM - After the 20 minute walk , we feel that the walk is kinda too far with puling the luggage going trought to those stranger roads that feel unsafe . But we safely reach at our hotel and doing check in , Gateway Hotel is one of the best picked in bangkok . Charges of Gateway hotel was cheap that cost RM120 per night only and really convenient for us to shop and eat around Platunam area . Few walk step to Platunam Night market . walking distance to all the famous mall in bangkok : Platinum , Central World , Big C , Siam Paragon , Siam Center and MBK .

Walking Araound Night market In Platinum mall , Central World and Big C
