My first long trip in Thailand was Hua Hin. But, from our plan we just want to went to cha am to visit santorini park and swiss sheep farm. But, we only visit santorini park & camel something ~ after that we took a van to hua hin beach ... because everyone said that hua hin beach better than in pattaya. okay, I'll start my story :)
From KU we took 510 or 290 from vipavadi gate to victory monument ~ we woke up really early because our trip at lease 2/3 hours. okay, we arrived there and we tried to find a van to go there, and we asked someone. They couldn't speak english well but they understand that we want to go to cha am. We paid 160 bath to cha am from victory monument. But, if you want to go to hua hin directly you just need to paid 180 bath.
Finally, we took a van to Hua Hin and we told the driver to stop at santorini park and from our imagination santorini park seem really large and like a theme park. We took around 2.5 hours for our trip to santorini park but we were shock because we must to stop in the highway without the stair or something to cross the road. We were confuse and that day was really really HOT !! >.< we still don't have our own ID card so we must to paid like foreigner 150 bath, for thai residence you just need to pay 50 bath. We just visit somewhere that we arrived, we saw a lot of animal there and we can play with them.
But we can't stand to stay longer there and we decided to cross that road and go to santorini park. But, our mood not so good there so we don't really want to take a photo there :') so, we just take some photo, but trust me, in santorini park I think the best part were taking a photo, because if you want to play a ride you must to pay more and that quite expensive. I think if you play in a dream world (theme park in Bangkok) will be better. and I'll show you some of our photo there.
Santorini park is not too big but too hot (I think) so after we saw all of them we decided to move but and we tried to go to swiss sheep farm, we ask someone and they said you just need to walk around 1 km. But, when we tried that we think that we are a loner who lost in a dessert >.< because we can't take a van easily from there and that day is still really HOT :( we just tried to be more patient to walk there but we just arrived at camel republic.
we just sit there and then we take some photo and we decided to go to Hua Hin then go to swiss sheep farm because we need to walk and we don't want to go back there only to go to Hua Hin because that too far :( okay some p' ka (someone from camel republic) help us there to take a van, he can't speak english but he's really kind... and we finally have our van to hua hin and from cha am really like a long way to go.. so we wait and finally we are there... yup, we think that we can saw sunset there but that's totally fail T.T nothing there but, we found a lot of horse and dogs there.
In Hua Hin, you can buy something cheaper than in Bangkok but not everything and maybe because we can talk in thai that they give us a cheaper price but I really don't know about that. because everytime we buy something we can have something cheaper than thai resident. #lol.
Sign board in Hua Hin is quite similar in some place, like this
But, we couldn't stay for longer time because we must to go back to Bangkok again and when we arrived at that place before to take a van back they said that the last van to Bangkok will depart at 8 p.m and we're there around 7.40 and we still need to walk around 1/2 km to get there :( so, we run there and when we arrived someone call a van maybe and we wait around 30 mins or longer Idk exacly because we were too tired that day. But, we can arrived safely in our dorm at 1 am (maybe) and we have a really unforgettable story because of that :( because we really don't know if we can't go back to Bangkok where we can stay for that night :(
