Hua Hin 24 - 27 Oct 2008

Our flight departed at 830am and we finally arrived at Anatara Hua Hin at about 2pm.
Unfortunately, our room was not ready, we only managed to check in after an hour's wait.
Above are pictures of the resort and our room.

Frankly, I'll say the brand is overhyped and overpriced.
Nice environment, nice facade and facilities but let-downed by the service.
Personally, I feel that the service could be much better, in terms of attentiveness of the staff and the attention to details.

There are many boutique resorts in Hua Hin, for a fraction of the price, will give you the same memorable experience ...

Stay tune for more on the trip itself ...

The donkeys again....
It's one of the most disgusting experience in my life, with the donkeys' poo everywhere and the risk of fresh ones dropping on/near you... yucks ...

Hua Hin (Thai หัวหิน) is a famous beach resort town in Thailand, in the northern part of the Malay Peninsula, some 200 km south of Bangkok. It has a population of 84,883 in an area of 911 km², and is one of eight districts (Amphoe) of the Prachuap Khiri Khan province.

Hua Hin is closely associated with the Thai royalty. Merely 25 kilometers apart, Hua Hin in Prachuap Khiri Khan province enjoys a wealth of satellite attractions; prominent among them are national parks and historical cities.

Hua Hin Town (เทศบาลเมืองหัวหิน) is on the coast of Hua Hin District. With an area around 86.36 km², the town has 50,169 inhabitants. It is a popular beach resort getaway for Bangkok residents. The Railway Hotel, now more generally known as The Sofitel Hotel, is a famous old building which was used as The Hotel Pnom Phen in the film "The Killing Fields".

The district to the north is Cha Am. The district to the south is Amphoe Pran Buri.
Anantara Resort is actually nearer to Cha Am than Hua Hin
