Day 6 - Scootering around Hua Hin

Today we hired the scooter from our hostel and tripped around Hua Hin - taking in all the gorgeous sights this beach town has to offer. We journeyed to a penninsula where we saw another temple (Phra Mae Kwan Im), of many more to come we're sure, and had a beautiful view of the coast with the many scattered fishing boats.

From there we drove up a steep hill (Khao Sanam Kop) to the King's Monument, for more temples and fantastic views, this one in particular was breaktaking so we sat and enjoyed it for a while. This had nothing to do with the fact we were exhausted and overheating from the short hike!

We tried to find a pineapple plantation to no avail, instead ending up riding through the back streets of Hua Hin, which wasn't altogether a bad thing - we did come to adlib our way around the real Asia afterall.

Liv was getting grumpy and hot, so after Adam found another temple (Khao Phee Tuk) with many steps up to the buddha's footprint, he decided he'd better go straight to the beach from there! Unfortunately it's difficult to navigate when you can't read the signs, and we ended up 5km south of the beach we were headed to, at yet another temple (Tham Koah Tao-The Royal Project Reserve) (Adam really has a knack for finding these) - though this one was special as it was a royal residence perched on the edge of a beautiful resevoir (Khao Tao). After a brief stop Adam finally took Liv to the perfect beach (Haad Sai Noi) where we lazed the afternoon away reading, eating and swimming!

After getting caught in the rain on the way home, we had another dinner at the markets, returning again with our only purchases being fruit and bottled water!

Home for an early night, as our train leaves at 5.30am tomorrow! Bangkok here we come (again).
