A few years ago, I did my best to walk the beach from the Sofitel to Khao Takieb each day. Come January, it was difficult as above picture demonstrates. The little money I carried, my cigarettes, my house keys, my shirt and most importantly myself were in good old Neptune's hands as the backlash from the breakwaters tried to wash me out to sea. Still, I carried on. The folk on the hotel terraces were laughing at me, especially as I disappeared down some hole, struck my foot on a submerged rock or had to negiotiate deeper waters around inconsiderate steps built down onto the beach - I'm sure these are illegal in Hua Hin, by the way. I always made it and enjoyed a couple of beers at a quiet restaurant at the end of the beach. Then got a songtaew back to town rather than risk the return journey if the tide was coming in. Wet? Isn't that supposed to happen at the beach? I’ve seen it rougher than that. A few years ago, I did my best to walk the beach from the Sofitel to Khao Takieb each day.
