Day 2: Bangkok Seafood

Staying at Pratunam area, we went to try out the salt coated grilled fish
Nothing fancy, just a street food stalls with fold table and chairs.
However, the queue was so long and it is so crowded.

Salt coated grilled fish. Cheap and fresh.
We add on Tom Yam. The tom yam is so-so only for me.
As they use evaporated milk to replace coconut milk. I prefer coconut milk!

Directions to this food stalls street:
From Platinum Fashion Mall, walk towards Central World. The stalls are located by the road side after you cross the river. We opt for the first stall from Central World.

Day 2: Hua Hin (Santorini Park & Swiss Sheep Farm)

We start our day with English Breakfast from a cafe nearby to our hotel.
One set cost THB140.
We took taxi service which cost THB1400 for a taxi which will fetch us to 3 tourist attraction - which we had chosen Santorini Park, Swiss Sheep Farm & Hua Hin Royal Palace.
Yea.. THB1400 was expensive.
 Entrance fees was THB150/ adult.
Santorini Park is divided into five zone - Park Zone, Village Zone, Activities Zone, Rest Area and Shopping.
 Park Zone is essentially the amusement park part, with rides and games set on vast landscaped grounds.
 This is the Village Zone which resembles Greek island’s village architecture and its chilled-out coastal vibe.
It is a 2-storey building consists of shopping boutiques.
 All other entertainment inside Hua Hin Park incurs another cost.
So, in less than 1 hour, we left Santorini Park.
And proceed to our next destination - Swiss Sheep Farm.
 Entrance fees is THB120/ adult.
Each entrance ticket grants you a bunch of weeds to be feed to the sheeps.
 We then walk around the farm.
The hot weather was really a killer.
We then left Swiss Sheep Farm, within 1 hour.
Our next stop was Hua Hin Royal Palace.
We did not took any photo inside because it was not so interesting and the weather was so scorching hot, we just call it a day and went back to enjoy our hotel facilities.
We then check out and head back to Bangkok!

Day 1: Hua Hin (Plearnwan & Chatsila)

After safely landed at Don Mueng Aiport, we board A2 bus to Victory Monument, which is park at the provided area within the airport, along the arrival platform at entrance No.7 of Terminal 1. It cost 30 baht each person and services every 20 minutes.
From Victory Monument, we took the minivan to Hua Hin.It cost 180 baht per person.
(The Hua Hin vans board in the alleyway next to Century Movie Plaza close to the stairs at the southern end of Victory Monument BTS station. From the skytrain station, take the walkway towards south, descend the staircase on the east side to street level (So you can just walk over to the building on the right hand side and take the in-door staircase down). The minibus area is next to the stairs. Look for a small table with “Cha Am, Hua Hin” written in English to buy your ticket.)

After check in our hotel and have a quick lunch, we walk to Hua Hin Market Village and took TukTuk to Plearnwan. Tuk tuk cost us THB140/ tuktuk.
Plearnwan is a place with opportunities for photos. Other than that, nothing really interesting.
This is the entrance of Plearnwan.
Mini stalls selling souvenirs.
 So, this is the whole street of Plearnwan.
Less than 30 minute.. bye bye Plearnwan.

We took tuk tuk to Hua Hin night market for our dinner. The short distance cost us another THB140.
 The whole street is filled with seafood restaurant.
We settle down at Lung Ja Seafood :)
 Mixed Vegie.
 Thai Green Curry. This was too spicy for me.
From Krabi to Phuket to Hua Hin. the best green curry I'd ever tasted is still the first green curry I'd tried - at Krabi.
Grilled Squid.
Too chewy. Not to my liking too.
Our dinner above include a bottle of Chang and one coconut drink cost us THB460. Not too bad.
After our dinner, we walk over to Chatsila Night Market which is interlink with Hua Hin night market. Nothing much can be buy here though.
There goes our Day 1. Stay tuned :)
