We arrive in Hua Hin via a large coach bus with the rest of the group and settle in at the G Hotel near the heart of the city and steps to the beautiful beach on the Bay of Thai.

We take a tuk tuk to discover the city and finish at a great local Thai restaurant on the water. Beautiful!

We joined our tour guide and his family on the Hilton rooftop bar in the heart of the city – amazing view.

Now on to golf!

We have our first round at Majesty Golf course Where we get acquainted with our personal caddy. That is quite an experience!

We learn that all caddies are women and most don’t actually play golf. They are trained to read the greens by comparing to where the water pools on the rice fields. They are bang on “up and down madam”, “many many downhill madam”….how will I ever go back to reading my own greens!

We wonder in the evening to the night market with Steve, Heather, Chris and Trent….lots of great food and clothes!

Heather orders interesting looking prawns and the first of MANY papaya salad!

The next day, we are on the golf course, playing at Springfield Royal Golf Course

We go for a Thai massage near the Hilton and stop at a restaurant on the water. On the beach, a few stray dogs are playing in the water and one of the horse for hire is stretching its legs.

The evening we join the group at a giant food court complete with live Thai music.

The boys find a giant beer keg that they deliver to our table.

I find skewers for 10Baht ($0.40) and buy a bunch. Tim orders the hot pot with all kinds of meat and cabbage to the delight of Chuck and Steve.

After dinner, we join a small group at the Anantara beach resort on the beach for a night cap.

We enjoy a free day on Sunday and Chuck found other golf enthusiasts to go to a bar to watch the NFL in the morning.

Later on Chuck and I decide to take a tuk tuk to Monkey mountain and we hiked to the top.

We also visit the beach on the other side which is beautiful!

In the evening we go to the “best” seafood restaurant in town called Chaolay Seafood, overlooking the ocean and I order my first grilled sea bass

The next day we are off to Banyan Golf Course.

Banyan Golf course

In the evening we walk from the hotel towards the bar district with our new friend Trent and Chris. We come across a bar/restaurant where a pool tournament is underway. Lots of Scandinavian men and a few Thai women.

One of the them has a Thai money. Chris is in love!

The next day is our last golf day in Hua Hin – Black Mountain golf resort.
