  • Come with me on a visit to Monkey Mountain or Chopstick Hill at the South end of Hua Hin Beach, Hua Hin, Thailand. Amazing views, Giant Buddha and lots and lots of stairs. There are a few small restaurants with great views of the beach and coast.

    If you've been here let me know what you thought about your visit. I think there's great views and it's worth a visit. I was underwhelmed of what it could be for such a great location. Many parts are very run down and in disrepair. Monkeys weren't a problem at all as I actually only saw three.

    Pretty cool place. Good place to watch water with an adult beverage

    Looks perfect ! I am a morning person and love exploring with no one around and Khao Takiab fits perfect ! Where I live is new and everything is manicured to be perfect, but I love the urban "unkept" look better. Feels right for Thailand and Hua Hin and its history. Great Views and not many monkeys out yet ! I see the areas like Pattaya, Phuket, Chaing Mai, and Bangkok and would not live in any of those places, Hua Hin is very special compared ! A+ video and keep them coming !! Just came from Seattle after a business trip and as you know the states and cities are a mess and now more dangerous.

      @@AjayRohaz Hi Ajay. Thank you. It was a very quiet morning. Not many people around yet. Even the monkeys except for a few were still not out. I love that time of day. The views there are amazing. You can see up the coast for miles. Started getting much busier in the area when I left. We might head out tomorrow and explore. Will video if it's interesting. Thanks for watching Ajay. Chat again soon. Wayne

    It doesn't look like you walked far enough around the hill from where you were to a stairway (not the first steps you climbed) that leads up a charming tiny Wat at the top where the view gets even better. There are a few little stalls selling garlands and minor refreshments. To the left, at the bottom of the stairway to the Wat, the path goes to Chinese style Buddhist statues. On the walk along the path, there are many monkeys and an intriguing line painted across the path which states 'No Monkey's Past this Line'....and amazingly they do not pass.
    Hua Hin and the surrounding area has some of my favourite parts to explore in Thailand. Sam Roi Yot is a wonderful adventure to but it may take a few days to explore fully. The beaches get even better a few kilometres south.
    I hope you enjoy Hua Hin as much as I do, It
    might not have all the glizt of some other touristy places in Thailand, but Hua Hin's charm slowly reveals some magical places from bars to beaches and mountains. Happy trails to you and your wife.

      @@davidslowhand5172 Hi David. I didn't walk all the way around. I'll have to go back and in further into it. I took the first tall steps up. I saw other small buildings and a temple on the next hill. Thanks for the info. I will revisit and explore more. We have been a bit South a couple times down to PKK and SRY. We have so much more to explore and see. Cheers Wayne

    My wife and I love the location. Underwhelming,no,not really,the lifestyle is at peace. Peak season is a bit too busy. We try not to promote Hua Hin,we just love being there too much. Home sickness comes to mind when we are not there and try pacifying those feelings when we are not there by watching vlogs like yours. Try the locals restaurant just a very short distance from where you are.

      @@robinhooper4126 Hi. Thank you for responding. I think I felt it underwhelming because I've seen so many videos saying how awesome it is so maybe I went in with higher hopes. The views are amazing. Climbing to the top it was not as expected. Very run down and almost abandoned. I would go back for a drink or lunch and sit at one the tables with the beautiful view of the coast. Wife and I moved here in July and are still exploring all over including places to eat. So many awesome local places to eat. The locals are so friendly and welcoming. Thank you for watching and hope you subscribed. Lots more to come that includes travels outside this area and more. Cheers, Wayne

    Right there at the end of the beach I swim for the first time in Thailand In February 2014 :) It looked quite different there before they built the hotel/apartment house there.
