On my recent holiday, I have a chance to travel to Hua Hin.

Staying at "Boat Lodge Resort" is not a beachfront resort but the beach is just 100 meters away and it's walkable. The resort provides free bicycles for guests as well!!!

And importantly! this resort allows you to bring your beloved pets to stay with you as well. (Oh! This really pleases people who are doggie lovers.)

Let me first present my page in case you feel like chatting.

Let me start telling you...

We arrive in Hua Hin almost noon.

We take the van from Victory Monument station at 8:00 am. The fare per person is 180 baht.

Once we arrive at the resort, we walk inside and find the navy blue counter decorated in sailor look. It is so lively.

............................................

After we check in and get the keys.

Staff informs that our room is in a lighthouse boat tower. (The name is very elegant).

When opening the door to outside, we feel like we are on a ship in a harbour because the design of this resort.

.............................................

............................................

There is a very clear water pool in the middle of the resort.

I want to jump into this pool immediately after my first seen because the weather in Hua Hin is super hot up to

41 degrees Celsius

.............................................

............................................

We have a room on the top of the lighthouse tower.

When opening the door to inside, I feel like this is a real feeling of staying on the beach.

The room is clean equipped with a refrigerator and TV. The bathroom is spacious.

Most importantly for Thais, "an air conditioner is cooling so fast"

.............................................

............................................

Once we put things in order.

We walk down to get some cold drinks. There are beers and many more drinks available at the resort.

Ice cream, snacks or even instant noodle are also sold here.

In the meantime, we see other guests already sit at poolside.

Someone brings a doggie and someone doesn't.

I'm sure there is a question whether a doggie is allowed inside the pool.

The answer is absolutely not!!!

.............................................

............................................

After walking on the beach and taking photos, it's nearly evening.

There are not many people on the beach behind this resort. It's overlooking Khao Takiab.

We don't go anywhere during the day because of the heat. We aim to go to Cicada Market at around 09:00pm. to 10:00pm.

Therefore, now we have to kill the time by taking a walk and swimming in the pool.

............................................

............................................

Fortunately, on our first day is the opening event of the Ratchapak King's Memorial Royal Park.

The park is very close to the resort therefore we really enjoy seeing fireworks from the event during our dinner at poolside.

We leave the resort to Cicada Market at 09:00pm.

I will skip not to talk about this market in this review.

It is similar to other open-air markets but there are exhibitions such as art, performances, and theatres.

I will talk more about this in the next review.

.............................................

............................................

My friend and I wake up at 08:00am.

We walk down to find something for breakfast.

The atmosphere in the morning is so refreshing.

.............................................

............................................

Looking down below we can see the BBQ grill.

I forget to mention that guests can have a small party by bringing own food and equipment.

There is no extra charge for doing this. (It's good for those who come in a group.)

............................................

............................................

The breakfast menu is the same as other resorts or hotels.

There are toast, boiled rice, fried rice and etc. Guests can self-service these directly.

.............................................

............................................

There are also fried egg, ham and sausage.

The resort provides these according to the number of guest stay in each room.

We can eat something else first in the meantime.

.............................................

............................................

During the meal, I see many tables with doggies.

Little doggies, I overhear most of them call their doggies as their "kids".

.............................................

............................................

We can take the food to eat outside such as at poolside, in front of the room or on the table under the trees in the resort.

.............................................

............................................

I oversee some people begin to pack, shower and dress up for leaving the resort to travel around or go shopping.

Some people come to swim in the pool.

.............................................

............................................

These are for us! Bicycles provided by the resort.

We take them for cycling around but we don't do that far till we return because of the heat.

It's extremely hot.

.............................................

............................................

At 11:00am. It's time to check out of the resort.

We plan to go to Sam Phan Nan Floating Market and to continue to pay respect to the Buddha at Khao Takiab.

We ask the directions from the resort but luckily the resort owner is about to go to floating market. Thus, we have a free ride there. It's so convenient.

Let me skip not to talk about floating market. I just want to tell that it's extremely hot today and I want to return immediately to the hotel.

I don't make it to Khao Takiab because I can't stand the heat.

I decide to go back to the resort and relaxingly lie on the beach.

And wait to depart in the evening because the resort provides a storage room to keep baggage as well.
