The Sheraton: how far to hua hin centre?

Post by fat mick »

Hi this time we are staying at the sheraton the last time we stayed was at the Lapa Hotel can you tell me is this the same distance to Hua Hin centre :? We will be going into hua hin by motor bike on a evening to eat and drink or do i need to change hotels as i may be too far out of town if so what other good hotels are close by not the Hilton or Marriott

It tells you how far stuff is on this link. http://www.starwoodhotels.com/sheraton/ ... rtyID=1590

It shouldn't even be called Sheraton Hua Hin, the address is 1573 Petchkasem Road,Thambol Cha-Am, Cha-Am, 76120, Thailand

Don't they have a shuttle bus service from the Sheraton? Most of those 5 star hotels provide that sort of thing.

Got a shuttle every hour according to the website, it'll be nice, I just wouldn't bother with the biking into town.

Yes shuttle is good but it says first come first served think i might need a permenant booking as drinking will be expensive in the Sheraton another thing are there a few bars near the hotel and resturants

Don't ride your motocy back from town after drinking. Alcohol and gazoline is a deadly cocktail. :tsk:

If you go to the beach at the Sheraton and turn left, there is a really nice restaurant/bar (can't remember the name but impossible to miss it) about 100 metres walk and significantly cheaper than the Sheraton. I have stayed at the Sheraton twice and it's a nice Hotel with fantastic infinity swimming pool, just a bit remote from HH, but there is the shuttle bus although you will need to get a taxi back after a night out drinking.

Not sure what kind of places you like but if you are happy to mix with the locals then places like Get Idea, Giant, (both opposite soi 6), and Music Room are within motor bike range, good food, reasonably priced drink and good atmosphere. There is also a very good Isaan restaurant on the other side of the road a couple of Km closer to HH, big place with name in Thai so I don't know what it is but should be easy to identify.

Having been to Thailand about 15 times mixing with the locals will not be a problem just cant justify paying double or treble the price for beers :cheers:
