The last day in krabi, woke up at 7am to pack thing then headed to restaurant for the last breakfast at the cliff view resort. it was a buffet breakfast included fried rice, fried noodle( in red which i found it nice), hotdog, ham, salad, fried banana etc etc. and of course they have workers ready to serve the omelette freshly.. and 830am the bus to surathani arrived. before that, i suddenly thought of the ticket because i was the one who took it but i couldn't find it in all my bags. quickly i called the agent and i left my tix over there.. i was in mess! LOL!!! ohh, we were undecided where to go, whether drop by surathani for one night or direct transit to hua hin, luckily got two thais who can speak little english and chinese are going to surathani and heading to hua hin. so, we followed them, at least got thais to translate thing for us :)
the van picked us to another station for another van to surathani, when the bus arrived only me and my partner were dumped into that van to join others, at that time, we felt lost and if didn't get to meet up with thais, we have to make everything ourselves while most of the thais couldn't speak english. after 4 hours sitting inside the super shaking van, we reached the so-called-surathani bus station, i saw few back packers sitting there, but no thais. luckily not long later, they reached. as they instructed, we took tuk-tuk, 50B to the main bus station, and seeking for help, that's their first time to go hua hin as well. we were so lucky that we got bus at 230pm as the bus is not consistent and it cost us 255B and another lucky thing was we got free lunch! whee... its not only a pack of rice.. but our so-called-chu-cha.. Thailand is such a great place.. and not to be forgotten, thais eat super fast, within 15mins, our table left four of us.. wahahaha... besides, their toilet is so clean and unique.

The toilet, man on the left while girl on the right. i nearly go into wrong toilet.. hahahahahaha...

Ohhh, i've found out that, their highway don't have toll, as i came up from krabi to surathani to hua hin, the bus never stop to pay toll fee. another thing, the boleh country should learn from them!
At first, they told us that we need 6hours to reach Pranburi to transit to hua hin, but we reached Pranburi at 8:45pm and waited for another bus to hua hin.. such a long day, whole journey is about wait and wait and wait. even though the bus came at 9pm but it departed at 930pm, when we reached hua hin, its already 11pm. then, four of us went around to get the cheap guest house. we are so grateful to have them, im sure they weren't on budget trip, but because of us, they tend to get the cheap guest hotel, and finally, we checked in at Baan Permchan Guest House, and the rate per night, 700B. From its outlook, it should have themed by greece's style i guess. the room is small and the bed is not comfort, but we have no choice since its already late at night, its ok for one night stay. Then, we went for our dinner, i skipped mine, my partner has ordered pork fried rice, nice and it costs only 39B while they served soft drinks at rate of 15B. the other two thais have ordered the seafood, not one, but whole table.. if i wasn't in budget trip, i will do like they did!!! arrggghhh... budget! budget!! budget!!! after that, we went through the night market and saw many things!! ready for tomorrow shopping!!

After stunning with all the nice pictures shared by backpackers, we have decided to make a visit to Khao Wang, Khao Wang aka Palace Hill, its located on a hill where we can only reach by cable car or walk. So, after we checked-in to another cheaper guest house, Tong Mee rate at 550B and automatic motorbike rental, 170B.

We headed to our destination at 11pm, which is 60.1km from Hua Hin. Its not a short distance and my first time riding in Thailand has devoted to Khao Wang. And in order not to get lost, we have stopped by few times to get the directions and of course many thais couldn't speak english, but still they were trying hard to show us the way with sign language, draw map for us. i am so touch & comfort to be in thailand even i know none of thai. :P

When my partner went for help! :P
After 2hrs, we have reached our destination safely. and i couldn't open my motorbike seat to keep my helmets... and seek for helps again. here came with 3 thais (guys) they were trying to open still failed to, its so funny looking at 3 of them with not knowing what they say but they trying to pull the seat. hahahaha.. then, a shop seller came and turn the key, the seat is opened easily.. LOL!!! Thanks again to thais!! :D
Bought our cable car ticket excitedly, and waited the cable car to exchange, here we went up to the hill, its short as only 40B for two ways. Up to there, both of us was so excited to enter the historical museum, BUT we reached to a booth with NOTE: foreigner have to pay 150B to explore the hill.. OMG!!! First feeling, i felt i get cheated!!! they should have wrote at hill side. both of us were so wondering, whether to go in or not. Finally, a decision of getting down has been made.. hahahahaha... its so wasted as in time we ride fore and back, fuel, time & energy! ish.. but whatever it is, it also an experience.. Even though it was waste, but both of us have enjoyed the awesome scene along the journey. we have stopped by few places for few shots!

After 1.5hours of riding, we reached Hua Hin at 3pm and instead of going back to Tong Mee, we continued our journey to Hua Hin Railway Station which also a MUST GO tourist attraction. I wanted to take the train to Bangkok but the time is unmatched and the price is not cheap. so, mini van is the choice! Even though we don't have ticket, but we can still enter the departure for shots. As recommended, the railway station is nice and finally i got myself with the Hua Hin well-known Board. hahahaha...

Never mention about what we had right? its because both of us were so excited to find Khao Wang until we didn't take any meal since last night.. Damn Cool... And after added fuel, 126B for my bike i started to feel the hunger. Speed up the speed and got back Hua Hin, direct headed back to the railway station for few shots, we went back to Tong Mee, settle down then RAN to the lovely Hua Hin Night Market to get our first meal of the day.. Next destination> Ayutthaya.
