Hua Hin Forum

Would you say the humidity's better, worse, or the same as Vietnam?

Thanks everyone. Good to know there are so many choices. I imagine I'll start off basing in Hua Hin and spend a month or so in different places three or four times a year until I get a feel for different parts of the country.
