April 2017 (Hua Hin and Chiang Mai)

May 1, 2017June 3, 2020LIVING THE THAI LIFEChiang Mai, Hua Hin, Thailand, UK

So, April was a month of two halves. Hua Hin and the beach for the first two weeks, and then back to Chiang Mai and city life for the last two. Both have their pros and cons but one thing that Hua Hin doesn't have ......is my friends! First day back in Chiang Mai sees the rains, but it puts some colour back into the place! Some new foods to try.

You may remember, before I confused you with a Laos special, that I ended February in Hua Hin. Well, here I stayed for March. It's a great place to sit out the Chiang Mai smokey season, enjoy fresh air and good living. As the sign says "Let the sea set you free". This month has been filled with getting around on foot and really re-discovering all the joys of the sea shore. Just like childhood rock-pooling in Cornwall! :) I've

This month was one of....road trips 0ngoing and non-stop change and development. Chiang Mai now has a Hard Rock Cafe (which in my opinion is kind of sad) the usual quirks and wonders and a visit from my Dad. The month, and indeed the year, drew to a close with a wonderful trip to Hua Hin HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! :)

We entered the restaurant to find cat number 1.......then cat number 2 ...and finally cat number 3 (although technically he found us)!! Cat number 3 then caught himself a rat! I, on the other hand, caught myself a large pastrami sandwich! :) This is how cold it was DURING THE DAY!!!!!! Everyone has to take off their shoes inside.

What a view to wake up to! Huge jellyfish stranded on the beach - I wish I could say this was the only one A Rolling Stone gathers no customers!

That's handy - I always feel tired after a big meal Hua Hin street scene Perfect view Does anyone know the name of this
