Escape to Hua Hin - Part 1

And so today is the day that i have been waiting or weeks ! I booked and made arrangements almost a month ago , and if you ve been reading my blog , i ve been packing and preparing since 3 days ago. Pack and unpacking , hantar Abu to my brother s house, hantar Karimah (my maid ) to my mom s house and etc, with all that preparation , it reduces the stress and kelam kabutness of the travelling. Stress sikit lah pagi tadi , Sol and Kaseh bangun lambat . Tapi under control , phew . Mama jugak yang kena hambat semua orang and buat bekal before we leave.

We got to the airport via taxi, checked in and managed to grab breakfast.


I am blogging this dalam flight , and the travel time to Hua Hin is approximately 2 1/2 hours. This is probably the longest flight Kaseh have taken so far , we flew to Tioman and Langkawi before, so i am a bit nervous with the journey. Will she be bored ? Will she throw tantrums?

Tip 1 : prepare enough games, videos and distractions for your toddler , so dia tak mengamuk dalam flight . In my case , i downloaded the Play Tube apps and cached all her favourite Upin and Ipin episodes, and some Pada Zaman Dahulu . Carry a box of colour pencils , bila dia bosan tengok Upin , kita boleh main lukis lukis.

Kaseh keeping herself occupied.

The 3 hours journey was bearable, Berjaya Air do have in flight entertainment, but it s a shared one , even though they have individua l screens at each seat , but the programming is communal , meaning you can't choose what to watch .

The snack box provided was a huge surprise , i expected a cup of orange juice and a Kaya bun perhaps , but we were given these:

So Kaseh missed her usual nap time , cause telebih excited tengok plane. I had the opportunity to speak to the kakak-kakak stewardess, and they said that Hua Hin is a very clean and cosy town , suitable for young families like mine. Tetapi , 100% of the air craft passages are adults , Kaseh is the only child in this plane . The kakak told me that Hua Hin is famous for it s golf resorts , and most Malaysian visits HH to play golf. Oh ok , i am nevertheless , still kept an open mind about this beach resort.

We could have gone to Phuket, Krabi or Samui, but since Berjaya Air just opens this route to Hua Hin last Nov 2012 , i decided to venture before the ticket fare naik mencacak . We current paid rm 700 per pax for this flight . Phuket was at rm1200 with Air Asia for the same date the last i checked.

We landed at Hua Hin Airport almost 12.45 noon , Thailand time .

It s a small airport , not particularly busy

But the queue is kind off lama , with only 2 counters operating . Unfortunately they are not child friendly , thus we and Kaseh had to wait at the usual adult queue. Some airports give priorities if you are travelling with young children , this one doesn t.

The taxi fare from the airport was 400 bath, for a 15 minutes journey , mahal lah but what do you expect kan ? Airport taxi :)

Can t wait to discover Hua Hin , in my next blog will tell you bout the hotel, beach and where to get halal food in Hua Hin. See ya soon !
