My first ever solo trip began right after my undergraduate studies.
I have always wanted to adventure and explore at overseas by myself.

| bye Malaysia~ |
This thought emerged during my first trip to overseas at Hong Kong after Singapore when I planned the entire trip all by myself.
Planned for the itinerary, packed my stuff and there I headed off to the Land of Smiles.
Being well-known as a shopping & food paradise, a lot of people was shocked upon knowing that I bought the 10-day ticket to Bangkok.
Of course, I wouldn't be spending all my days at a single place - I went to a few provinces instead.
First stop after landed at Bangkok was the Southern part of Thailand - Hua Hin.
Bangkok to Hua Hin (4 - 5 August 2014) Itinerary (click to download or enlarge)
* Please note that at Hua Hin town, tuk tuk to anywhere should be around 50 - 70 baht. Don't get charged for an arm and leg to reach a destination (especially at the tourist destinations).
* Rent a car or motorbike would save a lot on transportation cost (Hua Hin is a small town where accessibility would be a lil bit of problematic)!

As stated in the itinerary above, I took the van/ mini bus from to Hua Hin from Bangkok.
After around 3 hours journey, I've arrived Hua Hin safely.
G House Hotel was the hotel that I pre-booked earlier via the internet.

The sky turned dark as soon as I reached Hua Hin.
So after settling down at G House, I've took the free shuttle service provided by the hotel to the Chat Chai Night Market & Chatsila Night Market.
Also, to feed my growling stomach.
 |
| take note on the time, they are very punctual! |
Had some local food along the Chat Chai and Chatsila Night Market.
Well, it's a hidden gem that's not easy to locate.
So yeah, transportation is scarce.

Spotted this restaurant with real lots of eaters.
The staff were quite attentive irregardless of the high occupancy.
And I got a copy of the menu to read through before I was seated.
 |
| succulent, fresh & big prawns! |
 |
| seafood dinner! |
 |
| look at the longg queue! |
I was lucky that the crowd was not so overwhelming when I was waiting to be seated.
It was only a 5-minute wait.
The food was really fresh and delicious.
Total cost: 406 baht (including drinks).
 |
| tadaa... the popular restaurant |
Alright, I can't read Thai but this is the corner restaurant with really high volume of customers!
This restaurant is just a stone's throw from the night market so yeah, I went for a walk again to soothe my bloated stomach.
Haha..
As a marathoner, once again, I returned to G House Hotel on feet from the night market which was about 1.5km away.
