Hua Hin in the wind

We've been to Hua Hin for the long holiday weekend. Hua Hin is a town 2 hours south of Bangkok, famous for its beaches and as a weekend get-away for Bangkokians. We did exactly that this weekend and spent some quality time on the beach and by the pool (as we so often get to do!). Ian has become yet even more accomplished at swimming now, as Dad and Ian spent several hours trawling round the lagoon style pool. Ian swam 20 meters unaided in his longest swim to date.Way to go, son - you'll make the Olympics yet!

We also took a stroll down the beach at sunset and found some fishing boats getting ready to set sail, so Dad and Ian sat on the bow of one boat to watch. You'll see us in today's photos in possibly the windiest of conditions we've had in Thailand. It was a wonderful cooling breeze (read gale!) and most welcomed as it blew Ian's long curly locks in its wake!
