Lovely couple. I moved from Norway to Spain a little over 5 years ago. Now i think more and more about Thailand. Met a friend here in Spain a week ago who are based in Hua Hin. He had only positive things to say about Hua Hin.
For us, Hua Hin is the perfect balance we are lookin for. Some people find it sleepy and boring. We are active, there is plenty to do, but it is a bit reserved for some. We are living here and not on vacation, so it is fantastic.
@@AlmostRetiredinThailandMy intention is also full time. I like it quiet. Don't drink alcohol and don't like noise 🙂Love exploring nature i take walks with my dog.
Welcome to my hometown Thailand. As aThai People who living in Portland Oregon by marry with my husband ,Oregonian for 5 years. And haven't come back to Thailand yet after the pandemic and running my document and bla bla bla...on one day I 've just realized that I got the best of my base, my Thailand is the best for living. What am I doing here? 🤔I and my husband will go back to Thailand soon and wanna buy some land in Hua Hin. but yeah! I like the USA too. We 're trying to make 2 houses. Thank you for loving my Thailand. I love that you say Sawaddee krub. It would be fun if you learn some more.I hope you guys will have a good life in Thailand. Mostly Thai people are nice to you. The foods are good & clean. A lot of beautiful places to tour around really hope you enjoy.
Great video. It is hard for Americans to get their heads around places like Thailand that offer such a great life. This day pass to the Standard would be 4 times the cost on a beach in America. Keep em coming and enjoy your Thai life.
As an alternative, you should visit the beach chairs at the end of Soi 77. I think they were 100 Baht each, with good food and drinks available at a good price. You'll have to swim in the gulf instead of a pool, though.
Hi! I'm really enjoying your channel. Just a quick note that at The Standard Hua Hin, the day pass is now 1,000 THB per person, all of which still goes towards a food and drink credit. You can use the credit not only at the pool bar (Lido), but also in the Lido Restaurant which is right by the pool. At Lido Restaurant, they have a much more extensive menu, including pizza. :-) Good day to you!
G'Day guys, looks great love to spend a couple of nights just hanging out there, I'm sure that there would be some nice restaurants around there as well.
This video of yours just popped up on my screen. I did go to Koh Samui. It was a good holiday, but the days passed quickly. When I heard Dave saying Sawadee ka, and Sawadee karp and getting a reply back. It was so beautiful to see. I went to town once [Perth City], with my Ex. A lady smiled at me and I said hello. My Ex went bananas. She said what has she got that I do not have. I looked back and said she has beautiful hair, a great waist line. In general I said she was all beautiful. My punishment was I had to catch a cab home., and the arguments went on for a week or more. Now she regrets what happened. I am the happiest man on this planet.
Thanks for the honest thoughts on your experiences. Ellen and I would love to buy a similar place in your area and would love to contact you from time to time if you don’t mind. Keep up the good work!😊 Heiko and Ellen, Currently living in Denmark 🇩🇰
So glad to have found your channel .. myself and partner looking to spend 3/4 months abroad to begin with .. love the glasses Kim are they prescription sunglasses ? Where you are looks amazing def on our list .. from U.K. . My son has lived and worked in Korea has a Korean partner . He loves Thailand and wants to show us all over .. watching your videos is really going is some pointers . Thankyou x ps as an older lady what’s your fitness routine you look fab .. 🙏 are you getting hubby in the gym .. I’m trying 😂😂
Thanks for the comment!!! Kim actually has her own RUclips channel at Kimberleys Sandbox. I had to make an emergency trip to the states, so she is probably better to answer those questions. She does have exercise in her daily routine.
Gr8 video. We love day passes. Gr8 way to try out different hotels. Food looked good. Drink prices are crazy there. Is that normal for resorts in Hau Hin to pay 290B for a draft beer? They have gotta be joking.
Great video, maybe a day pass is an American thing, i just drive to a hotel and say i want drinks/food at the beach bar, never a problem and never paid for a "day pass".
If I may make a suggestion when you go to KL stay at a 5 Star hotel in Bukit Bin Tang area . For sure there are many good hotels there that are cheap but KL is the only major city in the world where you can actually afford 5 Star so why not treat yourself. In January I stayed at the Ritz Carlton for about 200 dollars and in any other city that would be close to 1000 . Never in my life have I stayed at such a luxurious hotel need to spoil yourself once in a while Other place I recommend is the Damascus restaurant best food I had in KL the line up was worth the wait
There are multiple options. You can hire a private car for between 1600 and 2000 baht, about $50 USD. I have done this. You can take a bus for about 400 baht, about $12 USD. You can take the train, we have not done this yet. We also drive from time to time ourselves.
Hello Dave and Kim. I read one of the comments saying, "Kim is so beautiful." I wanted to say that, but I was too scared to say it. Least Dave would hire one of those supersonic planes and blast my place in Perth. I am just being a friend. Thank you for your comments.
Hua Hin would be my first choice when I retire and move to Thailand, but the horses poop would make me think twice. Does it bother you? Maybe I am wrong!
Hello Dave, hello Kim. When I see a couple like you both. I sometime think to myself where I did go wrong. But my lovely friends I do not regret, what has happened. She was a gold digger. I loved this video. There is not a day, that passes by without me seeing somethng of Thailand. I was watching the Thailand News yesterday, and it was said a lot of people from Israel were settling in Thailand. As usual a Indian got to spoil my day. An Indian was deported back to India, after spending over 3000 days illegally in Phuket. If I was of authourity in Thailand. I would have confiscated his businees and his accounts.
Hey thanks for taking us along! Great idea going for the day passes. You definitely think just like us. As always looking forward to your next video 😁
We love day passes. Get to visit a lot of places on a budget.
Thank you for sharing, it is so beautiful and a great value. Blessings to you both.
Thank you.
Really enjoying your videos - hope to come across you one day in our hua hin 👍
I hope so too!
Thanks for sharing. Didn't know this concept of resort day pass was there in Thailand. All the best.
We love Day Passes.

Very down to earth couple!
Heading to Hau Hin next week, was going to book there but a day pass is another option, cheers
Beautiful couple and beautiful resort! Enjoy 😊
Thank you!
Kim is looking FANTASTIC

We love Thailand and everything about it, especially the friendly people, the food, the nature and the lower costs. Thank you for the comment.
The food looks awesome 👌

Agreed... I remember our first day pass and knew there would be many more in our future!!!

Kim will probably want to go with you.
Love your videos guys ❤

We will visit there too. Thanks. We hope to visit and share as many places and experiences as possible.
Again, very informative!
Thanks again!

Very interesting - looks idyllic.
It's a nice place.

Great video, hopefully I will be living in a condo a few steps away in the future and can see The Lido Bar as a lunch/drinks spot in my future.
Let us know. If around we will join you!!!
Nice Place.
Thanks for the honest thoughts on your experiences. Ellen and I would love to buy a similar place in your area and would love to contact you from time to time if you don’t mind.
Keep up the good work!😊
Heiko and Ellen,

Yes, for sure. We are going to work on an easier way to communicate with people soon.

Awesome couple & role model! We r planning to move out to Thai from Cali as well within next 1 yr. Look forward to seeing you out there.
Looking forward to meeting with you.

Higher end resorts... Lots of lower cost options at other places.
Great video, maybe a day pass is an American thing, i just drive to a hotel and say i want drinks/food at the beach bar, never a problem and never paid for a "day pass".
Kims aging fine
Thanks... I try LOL!!!
Oooh!! I’d love to go there!! ❤
Nice place to spend the day...
I love Kim new subscriber ❤
I'm going to stay there one day!...🤔🤫🙈💙
You should!
@@AlmostRetiredinThailand Love the big private balconies and grounds!... I'll suprise Lynda 👍
You guys are living!
We are enjoying it while still young enough!!!
I love your videos
Thank you 😊
If I may make a suggestion when you go to KL stay at a 5 Star hotel in Bukit Bin Tang area .
For sure there are many good hotels there that are cheap but KL is the only major city in the world where you can actually afford 5 Star so why not treat yourself.
In January I stayed at the Ritz Carlton for about 200 dollars and in any other city that would be close to 1000 .
Never in my life have I stayed at such a luxurious hotel need to spoil yourself once in a while
Other place I recommend is the Damascus restaurant best food I had in KL the line up was worth the wait
We will keep this in mind. Our next trip actually brings us to Genting Highlands the entire trip... although a 5 star hotel sounds great 👍
We love KL!!! ❤
Your missus has a good frame on her for an old one
Haha... yes she does.
Was the day pass all inclusive, did you pay for the food also?
The money we paid was a credit applied to our purchases. Some places have minimum spend in lieu of a set amount... we know of no all inclusives.
@@AlmostRetiredinThailand , that's a great arrangement. Thanks!
Is humidity in Hua Hin about the same level as Malaysia?
Probably the same... only bad months for us are April, May and into June... otherwise not bad for us.
@@AlmostRetiredinThailand Good for you. I can't tolerate high humidity.
day pass interesting never done it wen we was there
It is a good option to visit nicer resorts.
day pass? so you are within driving distance to your home?
Yes our house is about 15 minutes south of Hua Hin.
What's the air quality like in Hua Hin during burning season?
Not nearly as bad as up north, but there already some days when the air quality is quite bad, but not as many as up north
Not noticeable
So one day pass is overnight room included for ฿800?
No, just a visit for the day, but all was a credit towards our bill.
How do you get from Bangkok to Hua Hin?
There are multiple options. You can hire a private car for between 1600 and 2000 baht, about $50 USD. I have done this. You can take a bus for about 400 baht, about $12 USD. You can take the train, we have not done this yet. We also drive from time to time ourselves.
Vehs what is the mediam price. Like your car
If possible please
Are you asking the price of our car? If you are asking about the hotel, I have a link in the description. Let me know.
Hello Dave and Kim. I read one of the comments saying, "Kim is so beautiful." I wanted to say that, but I was too scared to say it. Least Dave would hire one of those supersonic planes and blast my place in Perth. I am just being a friend. Thank you for your comments.
It's all good... it comes with being married to a Goddess 😉
Hua Hin would be my first choice when I retire and move to Thailand, but the horses poop would make me think twice. Does it bother you? Maybe I am wrong!
They have to pick up the horse poop.
Nine dollars for Nachos! Almost American prices.
The Western food is a nice change from Thai food once in awhile.
Once in a while... although I really like Thai food.
Very expensive for Thailand. Really pretty .
Kim is beautiful…….
Agreed 👍
Kim doesn't look a day older than 25! She is in the good gen pool.
Agreed!!!
Damn you are a lucky guy! Kim is a hottie!
Agreed!!! Haha...
I thought you couldn't buy a house in Thailand just condos? @@AlmostRetiredinThailand
You can tell kim was a wild gal back in the days lol
What do you mean back in the day?
Still is... maybe...
😂@@AlmostRetiredinThailand

I am sorry this happened to you. There is a lot to love about Thailand.
I haven't seen a full stomach tat since the 90's.
Can Kim shout me out in the next video
Beer choice on the menu was disappointing
Weak for sure.
5 Coronas in ice $25.00au bloody bargain.
Kims hot
Agreed...
Awe thanks!!!
youre a sugar daddy. we get it but shes too old to be a baby.
