Goodbye Hua Hin , Love You Long Time !

This would probably my last entry on Hua Hin. It was a magnificent, activity filled and one of the most exciting beach holiday I ve ever had, so wonderful that i get to share the experience with my daughter and husband.

I bought another batch of prawns from Chat Chai market the day before. We were so happy with our udang masak lemak ( prawns in coconut milk), that we wanted to repeat the eperience. But this time i didn't have time to cook, i needed to pack before check out.

Ii was not confident that we could smuggle the prawns thru imigration , what if they get confiscated ? Kempunan pulak tak merasa, so we decided to ask the hotel kitchen to cook Tom Yum Goong for us ! What a way to end our holiday and eat the prawn for lunch just before check out.

I was so looking forward to the juicy and succellent prawns cooked in hot and spicy tom yum gravy . Slurrrrrp......

Wow , the +tomyum thai goong prepared by the Sea Cret kitchen staffs was delicious. We are Malaysian so the spicyness did not bother us, the spicier the better . But if you are not used to our level of spicy , i recommend that you request for mild.

Tip 1 : when ordering food in thailand , do not under estimate it's spicy-ness, do order the mild version.

Tip 2 : i was dissapointed that they peeled the skin off the prawn for the Tom Yum. I took forgranted and thought that they wouldn't. It would be better with the skin, as it keeps the prawn moist and juicy. Rugi rugi .

Took me an hour to packed our stuffs.

Me and Kaseh , really sad to leave. What a wonderful 4D/3N adventure for us. All in the trip cost us RM 3100 for the three of us excluding meals and shopping. RM 1038 for 3 nights in The Sea Cret booked vi +Agoda and the rest are for flight +BerjayaAir.


Kaseh felt asleep in the Tuk Tuk on our way to the airport.

I didn't feel like going back , too short lah the trip . Next time we have to take longer leave.

My prayers got answered when we already boarded the plane and was asked to disembark.
Apparently the flight was fully booked and is carrying maximum weight. A trimming proccess must take place and to do this , all passangers must leave the plane . Trimming is a proccess when you re-arrange the cargo so that all sides of the plane balances.

So what choice to we have ? Shall we throw away some of the golf clubs that 's pulling us down? For your information, +berjayaair only allows 20kg per pasanger. So please adhere to it, otherwise you'll be facing similar situation like me. Thanks golfers !

Help , we are stranded !

i was kind off hoping that they would announce that flight is cancel and we shall fly off the next day , all expenses paid for by +Berjaya. I don't mind another day in Hua Hin. Less than 1/2 hour they made an announcement that the flight is reading for boarding. Adoi , so much for day dreaming.

So we got into the plane and settle in nicely.

Tip 1: when travelling with toddler request for all seats to be parallel. In my case , i took forgranted that the +berjayaair staffs would do if for me. Ended up , we got 2 seats together and one seat in front , not convinient . I got the window seat and requested for a swap with this Indian uncle , but he refuse to give in. So i sat with Sol and Kaseh sat on our lap . what. Waste cause we acctually paid for Kaseh's seat :(.

Uncle won't swap seat with me, as you can see i left my window seat empty.

Wha i should have done is to request the seat where the lady ( eating snikers) is seating . This way , we ll all get to sit in a row !

Beautiful sky on the day we left Hua Hin, perfect time to chill out on the beach :(.

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 .

The view from the plane approaching Hua Hin Airport.

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 !
