Hua Hin, Thailand - Day 2 (Part 1)

Scrumptious breakfast! It's the most important meal of the day. It can change your mood from bad to good. It fuels you with the energy needed to explore the day, like mine. A filling breakfast helped me explored Hua Hin happily! Hua Hin is a seaside city of Thailand located 3 hours away (travel with car) from Bangkok, where we visited few of its attractions during our visit in Thailand. 

Mode Sathorn Hotel provided a delicious buffet breakfast in a comfortable restaurant. You can have Western and Eastern food here, depending on your liking. The setting was so cozy, I feel like having my breakfast in there forever!

Bacon!!! Super crispy on the right!

We reluctantly left the restaurant and move on with our exploration, where we went to Hua Hin on our second day in Thailand. We took a hire & ride cab (costed us 3200 Baht, but it was worth it) where the driver picked us up at our hotel lobby. A dark skinned local, with tall-ish built, whose name is Mr. Eak was our cab driver of the day.

We hopped into his green Corolla Altis 1.6 and immediately he handed us a bottle of mineral water each, so nice of him! Thankfully our days in Thailand weren't that hot as it were raining almost everyday. We made a detour to Maeklong Railway Market while on our way to Hua Hin. As its name suggests, there's a railway which runs in the middle of a market! No, the railway is not abandoned. There is a train which travel everyday on that particular track! 

While waiting for the train to arrive, we explored the market a little bit. It was a pretty long market, I didn't manage to walk till the end of the market due to inadequate time (got to rush back to the entry point of the market to snap photos of the train arrival). If you have extra time, can try to spend a little more time here because the food and other merchandises here were pretty reasonably priced! 

Tried all kinds of local delicacies... I don't even know what are their names! Mr. Eak recommended us almost all kind of local food available in the market! 

Taste similar to daging salai + nasi pulut

Then, we heard a commotion. Whistles were blowing, the main road was blocked by local authorities, preventing the traffic from entering further into the area of the train track. Stalls' owners rushed to retract their goods and tents to make way for the train. Tourists stood by the rail with cameras in their hands, including mine, to try to capture the best picture of the rare moment.

Here comes the train! At a rather slow, walking speed to my surprise. Well, safety first, isn't it?

After witnessing the incredible moment, we moved on to our next stop, Santorini Park in Hua Hin with a 'mango flower' in our hands. The locals tend to consume it by peeling the flesh one by one like peeling the petals of a flower. A new way to eat a mango!
