It was really a long 3
hours car ride from Suvarnabhumi Airport to Hua Hin - *back aching*.

It was drizzling when
our massage ends at 7pm and our stomachs are growling. Deciding that we will
come back the next day to explore Hua Hin Market Village, we moved on to the
night market. Tuk tuk ride was THB140. Drizzle became rain when we arrived at the
night market and it really dampened the mood. We had no choice but to do the
stupidest thing, buy an umbrella when we had 2 nicely packed in the
luggage. As we walked further into the
night market, a barbeque aroma travels its way into our nostrils that turn us
into drooling fools. What come into view were restaurants after restaurants of BBQ
seafood line up for selection. It is amusing how the restaurants were clearly differentiate by their patrons. Basically, they are divided into 2 groups,
restaurants patronized by Caucasians and restaurants for the Asians. We chose *Lung Ja Seafood* run by a Thai Chinese boss (I think that's the boss).

We ordered King Prawns
after witnessing them on the grill, followed by tom yum goong, stir-fried kang kong
with salted bean and stir-fried kway tiew. Of course, fresh coconut drink is a
must. "Seeing is believing" was the best description at this moment. The BBQ king prawns
were finger licking good. The spiciness of the clear tom yum goong sends us
perspiring big time. The kang kong is of comforting taste but the kway tiew was
not up to our expectation. We paid THB1000 for the meal with the king prawns
taking up THB650. The rain starts to stop when we were done with our dinner.
*lucky me*

Now it is time to shop
for souvenirs and local desserts. Similar to all night markets, you see one you
see all. Merchandises are common so it highly depends on your bargaining skill to clinch a good deal. We got a Hua Hin Station magnet and some really cheap
pouches at THB20. T-shirts in Navy design were cute with the best color
combination of navy blue and white. I also got to eat my all-time favorite Thai
pancake with shredded coconut and really sweet cream.

Ending our night with
a minor commotion and that was to find our room’s wireless phone and wifi not
working at 10pm. We were already very tired and just wanted a nice bath before
hitting the bed. Fortunately, the Front Desk Manager on duty was quick in
response and had our room changed within 15mins.
With a new room, a nice bed and pillows, both of
us fell into lala land instantly.
