Hua Hin, February 2009

February rolled into Bangkok with warmer temperatures yet (no more winter here!) as well as, yes, another trip to the beach ! (You just can’t beat going to the beach here – it’s close, cheap, and really pretty!) This time we headed to a beach a little closer (about 2 ½ hours drive) and a lot more populated than Koh Chang, the island we visited in January. Hua Hin is known as the King and royal family’s summer residence. It’s located on the actual southern coast of central Thailand, right on the Gulf of Thailand. It was a quick trip – just a couple of days – but fun! Besides swimming and playing on the beach, the kids also got to go horseback riding one morning on ponies right on the beach. It was all fun and games until the two ponies (the girls rode double on one, the boys rode double on the other) got spooked by a way, bumped into each other, and Tim and Nate both slid right off the pony and splash, into the waves! They were fine, but there was NO way Nate was getting back on that pony and just to be safe, Leah decided pony riding was not for her, either! However, Tim and Caroline both enjoyed their pony rides, even after that little accident!
