Hua Hin? same same as the kings place?

Uhmmm, A few friends stayed there in Nov/Dec and found it to be a wonderful place. Very quiet compared to the likes of Patong/Phuket/Bangkok - even Chiang Mai, but a lovely place all the same.

Safety is pretty much the norm up there, after all if the King and the Royal family are in residence the last thing anyone wants is a problem in town.

Nightlife, from what I heard back, was a little slow and more difficult to find than in some of the pre-mentioned locations, but there are still a few bars all the same who can accomodate your needs, if that's what you are looking for, otherwise there are plenty which are quite literally just bars, for the odd drink, nothing more.

From the various sources who have mentioned it, it is the sort of place you visit when you have a partner - not one you go to looking for one..

You say you are moving there? as in to live, work? please do tell
