my 1st time i stayed in HH
we stayed at the Royal Navy Hotel(the actual naval hotel)
plenty of parking for your car and easy tuk-tuk to the bars and restaurants
really clean, big rooms and a huge pool right on the water
plus, if you are with Spinner, she will get a huge kick out of the fact you are staying in the compound overlooking the King's compound
Navy Hotel Hua Hin
and im pretty sure you can get it for 50% of those rates
