Right in the middle of the night market in Cha-Am, there’s a scene that stops you for a second. A small pen of mini pigs - curious, squeaking, undeniably cute - draws people in with phones and smiles. Just a few steps away, the smell of grilled pork skewers drifts through the air, smoke rising, meat turning over hot coals. It’s a strange contrast: affection and appetite sharing the same space, divided by only a couple of meters. One moment you’re looking at animals people want to take home, the next at something some people can’t wait to eat. Bizarre.

Opposite “The Best Sushi” in Hua Hin, right by the railway tracks, you’ll find a big stall packed with coconut creations you probably didn’t even know existed. From syrup to jelly - whatever coconut treat you’re after, they’ve got it. The lovely couple running it even sells fresh coconuts for just 10 THB - about a fifth of what you’d pay at many Bangkok night markets. Don’t miss the coconut jelly - it tastes like heaven. Thanks for the amazing treats!

"THE FABULOUS LIFE OF JIMMY BU**UM"

At my guesthouse I met a guy who had basically turned meeting girls into a full-time philosophy. He approached it with the kind of dedication others reserve for careers or religion. I nicknamed him “Jimmy Bumbum” - which he accepted far too easily.

His latest “strategy” was peak Jimmy: before heading into the club, he offered to stick an a EXITHAMSTER sticker on his left butt cheek as some kind of icebreaker experiment. Confidence wasn’t his problem - methodology, maybe.

Sadly, the night cut short before the field test. So somewhere out there remains one of life’s great unanswered questions: how would the world have reacted to Jimmy Bumbum’s boldest move?

The finals in Hua Hin...

In Thailand’s busiest night streets, the poles look less like infrastructure and more like improvised control towers. Bundles of electric cables twist around them in thick, chaotic layers, while clusters of security cameras jut out in every direction, each lens watching a different slice of the neon-lit chaos below. Between flashing signs, crowded bars, and constant movement, these overloaded poles quietly hold the whole scene together - powering the nightlife while recording it from every possible angle. It’s a mix of necessity and excess, where order and disorder share the same pole.

At a small stall called “Hua Hin Reminder,” tucked between the usual beach souvenirs and street snacks, a bizarre collection stops people in their tracks: rubber masks of some of the world’s most controversial figures. Tourists hover somewhere between laughter and disbelief, unsure whether to treat it as satire, shock art, or simply a questionable business idea.

April 13–14 in Hua Hin means one thing: Songkran in full swing. Streets turn into rivers, music blasts from beach clubs, and everyone - locals and tourists alike - joins the playful chaos of water fights. Buckets, water guns, and even stage sprinklers keep the heat in check, while smiles and laughter flow as freely as the water. It’s not just a festival - it’s a city-wide celebration of fresh starts, soaked from head to toe.
