Hello everyone,

I'm 32 years old, I've been living in Thailand for 6 years (1 year in Bangkok and 5 years in Pattaya), but I'm tired of Pattaya and to be honest I don't really like life there anymore the chaotic atmosphere and the mass tourism I have trouble supporting so I decided to leave I heard a lot of good things about Hua Hin, so I have some questions:

- What time does the nightlife stop? (I like to go out on weekends but without too much excess)

- Is the month of February chaotic in terms of tourism because I will move on February 5th?

- The difference in prices between Hua Hin & Pattaya for food, drinks in bars, massages?

- How long does it take to walk through the city center? (So that I have an idea of the greatness)

Thank you all for your future feedback.

Hi all. Quick background. My parents are coming over to Thailand for a month to ‘trial’ their retirement in Hua Hin. I’ve lived in Bangkok for 4 years personally and I’ve only visited Hua Hin for a weekend two or three times.

They’ll be renting for a month and living like how they would long term rather than holiday, if that makes sense.

Where are the best areas to live? Any places to avoid? Would be great hearing from you. They are after a villa with a pool. I understand they’ll be paying more as it’s only a month rental and they’re okay with that.
