I had to prepare for the speed boat next morning. But this time I was prepared: I went to a pharmacy and spent a few Baht on pills against seasickness. If there is one thing that you can buy easily in Thailand then it's pills against or for anything. I remember once I bought some "diet pills" - actually it were amphetamines in a pharmacy next to the Full Moon Party 10 years ago....Anyway, the pills did their job and the boat ride to Chumpon was smooth.Arrived at a pier and took a bus to the bus stop, another mototbike ride to another bigger bus stop anf bought a ticket for Hua Hin.
I was going to meet Luck there who came from Bangkok for the weekend.After an eventless journey of 2.5 hours I finally arrived. I took a Tuk Tuk to the Hotel that she had mentioned. Luck had bought a 2 nights for the price of 1 coupon at a travel fair in Bangkok.She was already waiting near the entrance:)
The hotel was pretty nice- first air-conditioned rooms I had seen since Bangkok.If I'm out in the nature I dont care too much about the room as long as it is clean but in the city it's quite important to me.
After taking a shower we went downtown to the walking street.
Hua Hin isn't a big city, not at all- but compared to the islands and Khao Sok it felt pretty noisy. I simply wasn't used to traffic anymore.
At the walking street we did some shopping and had dinner. God the food on the mainland is much better and more authentic than the westernized versions of Thai food at the beach.
On the weekend we explored Chopstick Mountain from where you have a nice view over Hua Hin before we took a slow train back to Bangkok on Sunday.
