I am a new subscriber as of today and I love this video. You answered a lot of questions.. message to KRISTY… stop saying “you’re starving. “ is a recommendation of mine. I’m 53 years old and I was in a restaurant in Germany in 1980 with my grandmother and I said “I’m starving and she looked across at me and she goes “Richard, you don’t know what it means to starve”. I never forgot those words and the lesson I learned that day. You guys have a great channel. I will follow you forever. I’m so jealous. You’re in Thailand. I’m just worried about getting sick when I go there that’s why I started watching your videos. Love you love you love you love you.

Lol! "I don't like spicy hot!"said the girl that picks the hottest Thai dishes on every menu!...maybe try a Massaman curry that's not spicy and very mild or a nice Phad Thai. But credit where credit's due, at least you've tried 'em!...Enjoying your Thailand vids, looking forward to seeing more .

Hello! Thank you so much, that is very nice of you - we appreciate your kind words ☺️ We highly recommend the hotel we stayed, perfect location and very clean, spacious rooms. Its called the Thipurai City Hotel, we did a review on this hotel in our previous video (link in the top pinned comment & in the description). They also have a sister hotel called the Thipurai Beach Hotel which is meant to be pretty good to. We met quite a few people in our area so it would be fine if you're going alone, lots of singles out and about - its a fantastic place to visit 👌🏽

Great video! I just spent 30 days "December" in Hua Hin with my Thai gf. I rented a car and a house with a pool close to Bluport. The house was fully furnished including a full kitchen. I can't eat anything not american, so I cooked most of my meals or ate at the Burger King, KFC or Pizza Hut. We did eat "all you can eat rib's" at a small thai restaurant called the Windmill Restaurant, that was like $12 on Wednesday nights. Pizza Huts pan pizza is amazing, we ate there 3 times for lunch. Burger King Vanilla Milk Shakes were very cooling at 100 b. Pork, chicken and beef tacos, homemade along with grilled ham and cheese sandwiches, steaks and pork chops, were all on our menu.

[@KristyandSteve]

Hello! Yes Hua Hin has absolutely everything doesn't it? We liked Bluport mall and also Village Market I think it was called. Hopefully you'll get to revisit again soon! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment ☺️

The umbrellas are not free!! And the first row closest to the water costs more. We were told that the seats were 100 baht each and they lead us to the front row. When the bill came, in addition to the food and drink we were charged 200 baht per seat. When we said we were told 100 per seat, they said that’s for the seats behind the front row. The lesson to be learned is negotiate EVERYTHING in advance to avoid surprises when the bill comes.

Fantastic production, you two. I'm actually staying at the same hotel, and I agree, it's a brilliant place to stay, with nice clean rooms and brilliant and friendly staff. Unfortunately, the beach down from the hotel doesn't look anywhere near as appealing as you have shown it, and I found the hotel breakfast to be quite ordinary. The sea is a bit murky, but I need to check it out at low tide. I'll be having breakfast at HOC tomorrow, and going for a look at "beach number three". Thanks for the info!

The reason they have the ticket/value cards is because part of the rent is % of their sales. So to make sure the vendors are reporting sales accurately, the venue organizers will enforce these cards/tickets instead of real cash.

That makes a lot of sense! Thank you for the info ☺️

My husband and I were in Hua Hin a week ago. We were there for 2 weeks. Loved it. Definitely hot! We stayed at Laksashuba resort. Beautiful place! Stayed in Jomtien for a week. Another fun place. But I enjoyed Hua Hin more. Planning to retire there. But will scout out Cha Am first. We love the locals. Land of Smiles for sure. Be prepared to see many foreigners that fled the war in their country. Not very smiley people.

Thanks Martin! Glad you liked our video. Good to know about the beach chairs, we didn't actually hire any on Hua Hin beach (just Khao Takiab), so thats helpful for people reading the comments. Can you recall the cost per day for the beach chairs? ☺️

Hi, Yes Hua Hin is so nice...I do regularly suffer from street dogs that come at me quite aggressively when I walk in small streets or just on the street in the morning...I'll past ignore it and so far it's ending well and it's just barking close to me...Do you already have experience with it ? Thanks and be safe :)

[@KristyandSteve]

Hello! We noticed a few dogs out and about on the beach but not really around the streets. We saw a lot of cats though! I think the street animals are pretty well looked after by the local business owners and workers, they looked to be in good health from what we saw in Hua Hin (thankfully).

[@REBELSCL]

I appreciate your video. I’ve learned a lot more aboutHUA Hin than I knew before. I’ve got questions. Initially I was underthe impression that this was a much gentler place than Bangkok or Phuket. And I’m sure that it is. But I’ve also come to understand that it’s primarily a vacation town. So in season prices go up, off-season prices go down. It’s difficult to judge your budget when there’s that much fluctuation. Initially I found what appeared to be so nice one story two and three bedroom individual condo units each had its own pool etc. etc. They were fairly reasonably priced I think it was something like $30000.00. I’ve now come to understand that buying a home really isn’t the best idea for an Ex Pat. Renting on an annual contract seems the way to go. I’m a single American, 70 years old and really don’t intend to travel that much. I’m just looking for a less expensive place to retire on my Social Security check. Now, questions: it looks a great deal more crowded than I expected. The area I had been shown before was residential and really new. I’ve come to understand that Thai construction standards are nowhere near ours. Things initially may look pretty good but they don’t seem to hold up overtime. So I’m gonna rent. Give myself an escape valve. I had also considered buying a car. I’m not gonna do that I’m gonna use Tuk Tuks. If I absolutely need the use of a car I’ll just rent one. I don’t plan on spending my time in girly bars throwing money away. I doubt if there are many Thai ladies interested in 70 year old Americans.. And honestly I don’t think I could keep up with one of them. As far as the beach goes I’ve noticed that there are a great deal of boulders both on and just offshore. It doesn’t look like it’s a very comfy place to go swimming. I’m sure there are areas of the beach that have been cleaned up… likely in front of the big hotels… so I’m hoping that whatever living arrangement I find has a pool. I prefer a pool anyway. Most of these condominiums don’t have what we Americans would consider to be a realistic kitchen. I would probably try to find an American combo microwave convection oven which is how I cook most my meals now anyway. So here’s my last question do you see this town as a reasonably decent spot for an American Expat? It seems to me that there are likely to be a fair number of English speakers around i.e. other Expats.. For day to day communication with the locals I hope to find vendors who have some understanding of English or I also hope to pick up some Thai. I also intend to buy one of these nicer electronic translation devices so that hopefully I can speak into it to them so they can hear it and they speak back and it translated for me. This sounds like a decent solution and certainly beats getting married just to have a translator. Take care best wishes to you and I look forward to your response.

[@KristyandSteve]

Hi! Wow thank you for taking the time to send us this detailed comment - and for watching our video. To answer your question overall, yes absolutely Hua Hin is a wonderful place to retire in (regardless of age and Nationality). There are a lot of people from all over the world living there - mainly Scandinavians from our observations and interactions. English is widely spoken and you can live as "local", or as "international" as you like. We cant wait to revisit. Would love to hear if you decide to move there! ☺️

Habe euch eben erst entdeckt. Ihr 2 seid toll. Ich werde im Februar 80 Jahre und bin zum 1. Mal in Thailand und natürlich in Hua Hin. Möchte nach meinem Urlaub (90 Tage) dann bissel später für immer hierher. Es gibt 3 wunderschöne Senioren Residencen hier, wo man im hohen Alter sogar eine tolle Pflegehilfe bekommen kann, falls nötig. Auf alle Fälle nicht so teuer wie diese in Germany 😊. Das Sunshine habe ich mir schon angesehen. Da wohnen viele Schweizer, Österreicer, Engländer und auch Deutsche. Alle sprechen perfekt Englisch. Nur ich durfte kein Englisch, sondern musste 8 Jahre Russisch lernen. Kann ich auch nicht mehr. Es gibt einen sprechenden Übersetzer. Der ist richtig Topp, mein Handy geht nur im Hotel (HH Golf Villa) - übrigens super ruhig und bester Service, alles liebe, freundliche Angestellte und ein schöner, großer Pool ist auch vorhanden. Wenn ich die anderen Heime besucht habe, möchte ich ab 5.1.25 erstmals nach Koh Samui. Dort wartet ein schon bezahlter Bungalow auf mich. Am 18.3.25 muss ich leider zurück nach Berlin, um das nötige "Kleingeld" für ne Single-Oma zusammen zu bekommen. Werd alles verjubeln und auch schon meine Beerdigung im voraus bezahlen. Die raffgierigen Erben, haben Pech. Möchte mir die letzten Jahre endlich mal was Schönes gönnen. Ich freue mich drauf und hoffe noch Recht lange gesund zu bleiben 😅 ​@@KristyandSteve

I always eat at Tamarind if I go down to the Cicada/Tamarind markets as I think the food is cheaper and you don't have to deal with the tickets.

Not sure though)

from wat i understood there different parts of hua hin for different main atractions bars / golf/ markets .....come to think of it i might been mistaken by videos about pattaya , around that time of day it might be more useful to try and visit some of the market places , think the morning markets are mostly produce and raw products and the night markets more art music food and clothes hmmm didnt knew about the coupons , the other youtubers didnt mentioned them when they visited , think i saw them pay cash but that mightve been at the market across the street , the coupons might be in the hopes that people dont return them if they dont get used , makes them money the other videos i seen where more recent so they might have abandoned the setup nowadays

The reason they use food coupons is to prevent employee thefts. If they use cash, employees would just pocket the cash. The coupons are of no use for the employees if they don't turn them in. Kristy will have better luck with skewered meats as the spices are already in Tom Yum broth. The same with som tum, the prior batch maybe very spicy and she's getting what's carried over in the pestle.

[@KristyandSteve]

Ah that makes sense with the coupons! Tom Yum Kung is my favourite Thai dish and 9 times out of 10, the spice is perfectly acceptable - just this one blew my head off! haha

[@KristyandSteve]

3 nights (not long enough!) 😅

[@bluestarfishsea]

That 1st market didn’t look too great on camera. Would you recommend?

[@KristyandSteve]

Hello! Yes we would recommend. It had a nice, calm and relaxed atmosphere in a beautiful garden-like setting. The vendors were quite spread out so it never felt overly busy either. Both the Cicada and Tamarind markets are worth a visit 👌🏽

How much for the tuktuk to the other beach please? 😊

Hello! It was 200 baht ☺️

[@saddenbirth41]

Very clean town.

It sure is!

[@malita714]

I have been to huahin and cha am . For me is too crowded and very strong currents in the water , very near the beach . So never again

[@KristyandSteve]

Fair enough! ☺️ Not everywhere is for everyone. I guess like most places, it depends on the time of year you go. Do you have a favourite place in Thailand ?

[@bijanbayne3259]

I hope to move there when my lease expires in Jomtien

[@KristyandSteve]

Do it! ☺️

[@brentrothsay9660]

All ways get rice with you meal , it helps with the heat .

Great tip! Will definitely be doing this in the future

[@bobbysup]

In Hua Hin go to Anoma's restaurant. You'll be delighted

[@KristyandSteve]

Thanks for the recommendation! ☺️

I have the same drone. Another blogger I watch does as well. He says you have to apply to be able to fly it or face possible fines or jail.

[@KristyandSteve]

Hello! Hmmm in that case, maybe do your own research, we used a drone (and so have many of our friends) with zero issues over the past 2.5 years we've been in and out of Thailand . ☺️

Having lived in Thailand for good 12 years, when ordering food that can be spicy, always tell them ‘ Mai pet’. No spicy. If you tell them a little spice, you will most likely get more hot spicy that you can eat.

Thank you 🙏 ☺️

Sorry about the spicy food, we have found that you have to ask for it not spicy, but also no chilies. That's the only way to keep the heat and spice to a minimum.

[@KristyandSteve]

Hi Thomas! Yes , you are so right! You'd think I'd build up some kind of tolerance to heat = nope! 😔 Appreciate you watching & taking the time to comment, thanks!

We stayed at the Hilton a few years ago. I went in the ocean for 5 minutes and got a weird rash. The water there is nothing like southern Thailand. There were also a lot of “bars” with “bar girls” everywhere. We went to an Indian restaurant across the street from the Hilton and I was bitten on my big toe by a rat. I did have brown nail polish on so he probably thought it was a tender morsel of food. 😂 We were coming home to Canada in a few days where I went through a series of rabies shots, just in case. We were not impressed. There are definitely better places to visit in Thailand.

[@KristyandSteve]

Oh no! sorry to hear about your less-than-ideal experience in Hua Hin 😔 That does not sound enjoyable at all - your views are totally valid. Where are some of your favourite places you've visited in Thailand?

You are WRONG,! 12 + years living in HH. Native Thai pronounce it "Wah - Hin" . (Basically the same as the smart phones produced by that Chinese company "HuaWei". i.e. "Wah -Wei". "Wah -Hin"

Hi, May I share the most important news you will ever hear? God the Father sent His holy Son Jesus Christ(Y'shua Ha' Mashiach) from heaven to earth, to be born of a virgin. He grew up and died on the cross for our sins. He was put into a tomb for 3 days, and then Abba Father raised Jesus to life and He appeared to people and went back to Heaven. We must all sincerely receive Jesus to be a true child of God. It says in John 1:12 "But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name." Will you genuinely believe on Christ Jesus and truly receive Him today, before it is too late?

[@professorzig8631]

You really did not show the fantastic beach in Hua hin. Between north side of Khao Takiab and where you entered the beach (horse rent) you have 5 km of the most fantastic beach. Hilton beach is no good. just go 200 meter to the south of where you enter the beach you have this 5 Km stretch of white sand. You missed it. what a petty. otherwise great video

[@KristyandSteve]

We thought there must have been a much better beach somewhere around Khao Takiab as many people said it was the best to visit (and the area we went in the video was clearly not that impressive). Oh its disappointing we went to the wrong part of it 😫 Thank you for bringing this to our attention , we will be sure to follow your advice next time we're in Hua Hin.
