A day’s rest then on to Hua Hin

Our hotel at Kanchanaburi was exceptionally comfortable so we took full advantage by doing very little on Saturday. In the morning we both had a full body Thai massage for an hour which cost less than £10 each, another example of the good value in Thailand. The massage was excellent, no oils were involved and you were provided with a cotton outfit to wear,
The hotel is on the banks of the River Kwai and has only twelve rooms all of which are in individual single storey buildings scattered around the grounds. There is also a swimming pool with plenty of sun beds and shade for the weather was very hot. Food was excellent and the service from the staff exemplary.
At 10 am Sunday morning our taxi arrived for our three hour journey down to Hua Hin where we are staying with our friends Janet and John who are renting a house here for three months. Also staying are other friends of theirs from the UK Andy and Danuta..
We arrived around 1:30 to a welcoming drink and a dip in the swimming pool both of which were very welcome.
At 5:30 a taxi was organised to take us into town where John had booked a table on the rooftop of the Holiday Inn to see views over Hua Hin and watch the sun go down. Great fun up there. On from there in another taxi to a food market which was enormous with many stalls selling all kinds of food predominantly Thai but other cuisines as well. All being sold at ridiculously low prices and great quality.
Moved on from here to another market where the main attraction was the live music, but to me the main attraction was watching Leicester beat Spurs on John’s iPhone. Busy and fun day.Read more
