I wouldn’t want to live in Hua Hin. Used to be nice but has been overrun with Russians, Bogans, and a lot of tatted up, unsavory types. Been in Thailand 21 years. Hua Hin, Phuket, Pattaya, Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, Krabi, etc. are nothing like they used to be. Lots of druggies, scammers, & gangsters (Chinese, S. Korean & Russian). You’re better off in Bangkok as your base. 😉
