Included - Breakfast, three pools, petanque, classes, gardens, large bathroom, balcony, bottled water
A boat, a minibus and an overnight train (a sleeper - very "Some Like it Hot")
were all required to return northwards to the original Thai beach resort town of Hua Hin. We really splashed out here to stay in the 1920s Railway resort (now owned by Sofitel), which is a series of long two storeyed buildings of rooms that face onto lovely gardens and pools.
We walked onto the ground with our backpacks at 6:30am, but were lucky that there is an worldwide economic crisis as there was a room ready for us, so we could have showers, a cup of coffee on our balcony and tour the grounds all before a massive buffet breakfast was served.












We swam, lounged, read, ate breakfast that consisted of all things from dim sum to french toast, congee to meusli, and omelet to sushi, then had high tea (which looked wonderful but which really wasn't all that satisfying, - I have to say I'm a damned fine baker), 

walked the beach, took a yoga class and a thai massage class, and danced the night away in the resident nightclub where we were the main core of audience. Needless to say the band (a really tight group from the Phillipines who would perform practically everything) thought we were great and took our photos and dedicated songs to us - we felt like VIPs.
