The beach
Quick shower after taking a dip!Our last day in Hua Hin was quite civilised (ahum!). We took a stroll along the beach and a dip in the pool, where we said our goodbyes to Gavin and Claire. Funnily enough, they are visiting Melbourne in January, so we will be catch up right across the world next time, not just half way!!!
We headed into town and stumbled across a Tesco Express which sold - brace yourself - chicken feet and fish balls!!! Have a look at the pics if you’re brave enough!!
To work up an appetite, I got a french manicure and pedicure and Ricky got a full body Thai massage - with no EXTRAS!!! I was there the whole time watching - just to be sure!! And after a massive sushi feast in a swanky sushi joint we headed back to Tina’s Bar as promised to her the previous night.
The woman across from us we still cooking…so we succumbed, at about 3am, we sampled so true Thai food. It was spicy!!
Whilst in the bar, Ricky sampled a Thai head and shoulder massage and we befriended 2 kids who were selling roses. The girl bet Ricky 100THB that she

I don't remember seeing these on the shelves at Coatbridge! would win at pool. She did, but no surprises there!!! (Sorry Ricky! x) The wee guy was really funny, he had put a plaster on his head so people would feel sorry for him and give him more money. It’s strange because although they were effectively begging, their English was amazing, they go to school and were well dressed and clean. Maybe that’s just “normal” for kids to be out selling roses at 3am in the morning!!?? Incidentally, the girl goes to Bangkok with her uncle every 2 weeks to buy a bulk of roses from the market outside the Grand Palace (the one I thought I was going to spew in!!). It then became apparent why there were so many millions of people selling roses by the field! Anyway, they were lovely kids and, with English like that at their age, I have no doubt that they will do well in the future.
We left Tina’s a little worse for wear about 4am after a lock in with the bar staff and their boyfriends (who were police officers!) who were having their dinner, yeah, you guessed it - from the woman across from the bar!!
