I love rock'n out my Blurt Shirt! That's why I got two, so I can wear my Blurt Shirts twice as often! It's a great conversation starter, and with @junglegirl as a Native Thai and Lua Hill Tribe speaker, we have all the bases covered!
As you can see in the photos, the sky was about open up and pour rain down in a very tropical storm kind of way. So we headed to the nearest shopping mall. Hua Hin, about 3 hrs south of Bangkok is probably the most developed western feeling small city in the country.
It reminds me of a small Thai Miami. Sporting two large shopping malls alongside a popular city beach with warm weather year round. Now come along for an Afternoon out with my Blurt Shirt! In Hua Hin Thailand!
Everything looked nice facing south down the beach. Then we look back in the other direction and look what we see.
Time to make our escape to near by Village Shopping Mall. And yes we did get caught in the rain, but just a little bit ;) Thanks for coming along!
Great galloping clouds! I'd have stayed and watched the rains pour down.
I recall, we went there in the rainy season - very cheap and few people - the eastern coast gets less rain.
Yes less, rainy for sue here in Hua Hin, but maybe not this past month. This is like my fourth time staying in this town in the past 15 years. I really like it here. Very modern feel and great value. You can rent one of these all inclusive condos, gym, pool.....for as little as $350 a month. Hard to get a better value. Just staying there for a month, I ended up saving all this money that I normally would have spent, and we had a great time. Now we are on the way to @junglegirl's Tribe near Pai. Should be an adventure getting there. We just did nearly 300kl on the bike yesterday. Where abouts are you in Thailand if you don't mind me asking? Maybe you've told me already. I know @lucylin and @hangin are in Thailand too.
I've been to Mae Hon Song a few times and, somehow, avoided going to Pai!
Was even gonna move up there, but last visit, kinda looked run down - maybe 3 or 4 years ago, compared to maybe 10 years ago. lol
I'm now near Khao yai, just north of Bangkok.
Just did 350 kilometers yesterday from Kanchanaburi to SukoThai area, the small town just south of it. The lesser known Kamphaengphet.
I tried to take a plane from Pai to Chang Mai once, but the stopped running the service a few months earlier, not the most popular flight I suppose. haha
Kha Yai, never hear of the that place, I'll have to look it up. Pai was certainly one of my old stomping grounds. I'd just hang out at the local pool/bar hang afternoon hangout spot and hook up with one girl after another like a total pig. Certainly fit my lifestyle at the time. Don't tell Jungle Girl! haha but she probably already assumed such things. So, I never made it to Mae Hong Son! lol
There's a great temple complex at K - old style Khmer design, if I recall, then "adapted" to Buddhism. Those Hindu temples, if you approach them as if in a ceremony, are pure theatre - the way the temple rises over the horizon of the steps!
Look, it s a jungle girl! Hahaha I think this may be the place you are referring to, or maybe not. Just made it to Sukhothai yesterday. Temples here are more impressive for sure.
I don't recall the "busted" statues.
The template is always the same from Khmer empire days - before Thailand existed ;-)
A Bengal cattery moved to Sukhothai - if you're into... felines.
Then probably not the place you're referring to, but it's close enough for me! I'm very much into felines, far more than history; just like @lucylin in one of his recent posts ;) haha
Now @rycharde here, he knows how to live it, he's in the best part of Thailand Khao Yai you are ahead of us...looking for he's grape plantation farm...nice !!
The flight from Chiang Mai to Mae Hong Son was fun - small twin-prop plane skimming above the mountains, then swooping down to the smallest airport I've ever seen. Slippery when wet!
I did enjoy my time in CM - would prob still be there if it wasn't for the annual unbreathable smoke haze. I'm sure there are more books in CM than BKK! Luckily they don't burn them.
It's crazy that smog season. I remember 15 years ago visiting Chaing Mai during that time of year and it was like a non issue. My girlfriend from there say the same, suddenly the burning got out of control in the past decade and especially the past 5 years.
Love Hua Hin been there a few times now so your heading to Pai Tribes that will be a adventure for sure with the @junglegirl"s Tribe can't wait to see them photos you know that's one thing I haven't done since I have been in Thailand and that's visiting the Tribes must put that on my bucket list.
And hey talking about "Hard to get a better value" I got a 50 sqm fully furnished studio apartment 300 meter walk from the beach for $212 US per/month ( 7,000 Baht per/month)
Wow. The deals just keep coming here in Thailand. It s just amazing how tricked the western world is into making 3,000 dollara mo th, having 2 credit cards, living homeless in their vehicle, many....and when they learn you can get an fully furnished apartment next to the beach for about 200 bucks a month....they tell me Im crazy and literally dont believe it. So im happy for both us, having found nice lifestyles that dont break the bank in this awesome country. I ll certainly keep you posted when I get to the tribe. May take a few weeks as we plan to hang out in sukothai and a few other places to explore on our way north.
I know it's amazing that's why I could never go back and live in Australia again what for to be miserable and stressed. Safe journeys buddy enjoy your road trip and looking forward to your new discoveries.

I'm relieved lately when there's something to vote on... Blurt seems quiet lately and my Voting Power is almost always at full! Not that this post doesn't deserve it, of course. It's original content and it's interesting... exactly what Blurt is for.
Dan, your hair looks a bit damp in the last photo : P
Hahaha.. i think the vibe on blurt is great. maybe a little too much drama lately. I personally am going to be traveling a lot this month, so my time will be more limitted. However, I should be coming up with something interesting soon. Yes, my hair was damp, got caught in the rain just a bit.
Thank you so much brother! I love wearing it out. Makes the day more fun! :)
Wow those clouds look crazy dramatic. I really want to get a nice blurt dress printed I will get that done this year
Very dramatic clouds in deed. So dramatic they poured rain down all over me before I could make inside the mall. hahaha. I'm sure you would look great in a Blurt dress. Looking forward to seeing it.
Damn they are some pretty aggressive looking clouds the T-Shirt looks great but you need to eat more potatoes buddy 🤣
Hahaha. Thanks buddy, some pasta wont hurt either.
Well yeah the Italian pastas will definitely help with lots of garlic bread :)
Nice view with blurt t-shirt, to be honest I've never been on a nice beach before. I'm sure you and @junglegirl had lots of fun.

Thank you very much!
That transition between rain and clear skies is just breathtaking @world-travel-pro, it is also a time where I like the temperature changes from hot and humid to a more cooler breeze and I just wish that it should always be like that too 👍
Some people also will take notice of your blurt promotional t-shirt although I guess if they are familiar in blogging hobby/work :D
