Ah!
That was cold!
That was really cold... that water, huh?
Baby, they're armed.
We should be armed too, you know?
[laughs] This is Hua Hin.
It's a beach resort 3 hours, 3 and 1/2 hours from Bangkok.
It depends on the traffic.
Easy to get here.
It's a nice getaway from Bangkok if you want to enjoy the beach.
We shot this video during Songkran, the very wet New Year celebration in Thailand.
In the previous video, you already saw Hua Hin beach...
The beach here is so full of resorts And also Takiab beach, Khao Takiab Temple
and Monkey Mountain Totally free to come here
And we finished at Rajabhakti Park Where you see the enormous statues
of the Seven Kings of Siam That's very impressive
But as you can imagine, there's more coming up
Good, thank you Khob khun Ka [thank you in Thai]
Oooh!
That is ready...
We're back at the main Avenue Let's continue now by songthaew
Let's do it to save some money, but also because it's fun
Oh!
[laughs] Pay attention
[laughs] Now we're back downtown
and the party is still going on here.
And do you see what people do?
They set up in locations like this with their friends
And then they throw water at everyone that passes by.
All this means good luck for the new year, so water is welcome.
Ahhh! [laughs]
That was cold!
That was really cold...
That water, huh?
Get those four for us! [laughs]
-You want four of them?
-Yeah!
This is like a cool street.
Yeah!
This is a really nice street So many cool places
Baby, they're armed.
We should be armed too, you know?
[laughs] Oh, my gosh!
Look at this street!
I found the party street I'll have to walk over there
Ahhh! [laughs]
Oh, my God!
It's so crazy, because it's full of bars there,
and the bars themselves they put some huge buckets of water...
People are sitting down, having a beer They just grab a bucket of water
and throw on whoever is passing by No way!
They're serving capirinha here That's from Brazil
[laughs] -We are easy preys, baby
-Chinese temple...
Yeah!
-So, do you want to go down there or this way to the beach?
-No, I want to go to the beach -So this way
-Yeah -How interesting the amount of people there,
huh?
-Yeah How nice!
Cheers! [laughs]
We're now here in the other end of Hua Hin Beach.
Where we started this morning It's all the way over there
Monkey mountain and the temple So, this is a nice way
to close the day here, relaxing One thing that is interesting for you to know
Here in Hua Hin, you don't really have a sunset at the beach.
At least not in this main beach here because the sunset happens over there,
behind the buildings.
So if you come to the beach late afternoon, everything here is already in the shade.
It's great if you're trying to escape the sun actually.
One more thing about Songkran: Do you know why the new year?
That's in terms of astrology.
It begins when the sun transits the constellation of Aries,
the first astrological sign in the zodiac.
The water is to cleanse your spirit, so that you start the new year fresh.
Some people also have some paste on their face.
That's for protection and ward off bad luck.
What can you do at night in Hua Hin?
You'd be amazed to see the number of bars and restaurants really, really nice.
Full of people, live music, great atmosphere.
But if you're here on a weekend, you have even more options,
because there are the night markets.
There are at least 3 in town, 3 big ones.
And tonight we're visiting two.
There's a guy allowing everyone to paint him Of course he's counting on a tip,
but it's getting creative.
I've never seen that.
Wow, he's painting the King.
This is the king that passed.
Oh, baby!
Look at this, look at this, look at this!
Wow!
Amazing!
Who does that stuff anymore, huh?
Yeah!
He molds the glass so fast.
In seconds.
That's so amazing.
Oh, baby!
You're lucky I don't have space in my luggage
No way!
This is a durian pillow!
Durian world here.
This is a durian pillow for 200 baht -It smells so good
-Yeah, it does
-Its all good -It means all fresh
-U-hu Oh, so the food works with a coupon box

-I'm going to get this -Yeah, me too
It's rice with chicken...

It's rice with beef on top.
It looks like it's spicy -Very spicy

I can eat this It's not like other spicy dishes that I tried
and your mouth is...
-Eat it before you talk -I did
-No, you didn't I take back my words.
It is really spicy!
Oh, that's the pepper -Do you like it?
-Yeah!
Spice is healthy, huh?
So at least there's that.
Mmm, this is so good.
So that's like all the sweets.
Yeah, I guess It's coconut pancake right here
Oh, this is so good, baby!
Can I get 10 please?
Khob khun Ka [thank you in Thai] Deep-fried banana with cashew nuts
and there's chocolate on top, too Ah!
Mmmmm!
Look at the banana here Oh, it is so good, baby
It is really good That's okay, can stop filming.
Come eat This is more of an upscale market,
but it's not as expensive as I thought it would be.
Actually it was very affordable and cheaper than anywhere else we ate here.
I'd be totally happy going back to our apartment right now,
but there's another market very close.
Just a few blocks away, if not just a block away.
So we're going to check that out too.
Just a quick look.
-Is this the other market?
-The other market is over there, so it looks like it continues on.
It was so much closer than I expected.
Right over there, that was Cicada market, and right here, Tamarind.
Really next door! [laughs]
-Khob khun Ka [thank you in Thai] -Khob khun Ka [thank you in Thai]
Khob khun Ka [thank you in Thai] Wow!
That looks good!
Do you know what I noticed?
They have different foods here, right?
Yeah This tuk-tuk right here
I can easily get Khob khun Ka [thank you in Thai]
Coconut jelly!
Mmm Everything made of coconut
is so good!
Really good! [laughs]
I had to tell her.
There are different options of food in both markets.
I thought it was a matter of price, but no.
Prices are almost the same.
There are some more expensive dishes, some cheap options,
so you can basically choose what and where do you want to eat.
It's such a fantastic getaway from Bangkok.
You really have the feeling that you are in a small beach community.
Everything is so close, it is so nice, people are so friendly!
Really worth the trip here.
And if you can, of course, come during the weekend,
because that's when you have these markets
[laughs] -Am I on camera?
-Yes, you're on camera -No way!
-You are on camera [laughs] Look at the size of that hat!
It might be good for my collection If that phonograph worked, I'd take it
Ah, yeah That's so cool
It is, but how do you take the phonograph?
I'll figure it out See?
There you're going, problems already
That's so you...
[laughs]
