Hua Hin is a great alternative to Pattaya or Koh Chang,<\/strong> being only about a 2 \u00bd hour drive from Bangkok. What\u2019s more, the road between Bangkok and Hua Hin is dotted with excellent attractions like (floating market), an orchid farm\/wholesale crockery\/seafood market, more factory outlets than I was able to count, and a water park called Santorini.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hua Hin has more of a unique flavor than Pattaya, too.<\/strong> It is a hub for artistry and creativity in the kingdom, with jazz festivals, art walks, interesting sculpture all over the place, and artists of more disciplines than even a fellow artist such as myself was aware existed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Cicada<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

I stayed in the area known as (area) at a tiny little resort called Baan Duangkaew<\/em>, in a very airy and well appointed bungalow between the two pools. (Every bungalow is right beside a pool, mine was next to two; blind luck.) But even more exciting is what I discovered on my way to dinner that evening.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We got in the car and were heading out to find some dinner, and not 20 yards from the resort we came upon the Cicada Market<\/a> which offered up lots of the two best things in life \u2013 food and art. But a picture is worth a thousand words, so I\u2019ll shut up now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
