thailand........day five

enjoyed a long walk on the beach..the hua hin beach is an uninterrupted 6km long and we loved taking in the sights along the way....as the different boothes offering thai massage and the horses going up and down the beach


and all the fishermen out at sea hard at work in the baking heat.....in the afternoon we went into the city and visited one of thailands oldest railway stations...



later that night we went to the local big mall that had open air live Jazz every evening and enjoyed the music while enjoying some good food........
its impossible to not notice the poverty here that sits alongside the wealthy..people live in little shacks beside posh hotels with tin roofs that must be unbearable in the height of summer...... we saw much fewer people beg than i had expected everyone is trying to sell something to make a living and only those who are very ill or handicapped were begging Thia's are a very resilient people........
