Bangkok and Hua Hin Getaway Part 3

We went around sighseeing at this temple built in a cave which is abt 45 mins drive from Hua Hin city. The way down was steep and each step was quite a distance apart. Going down was an easy task but the way up made us sweat and puff when we reached the top. The temple was beutiful, with different sections containing statues of different buddha made by King Rama IV and V.

As usual, we built some joss sticks and even drew some divine lots to see if our luck will be good in the near future. What I can reveal that mine was a good lot :)

This is supposed to be a Giant Buddha leg print which will bring you good fortune if you place some coins on each toe.
We went to the National Museum next.... and the scenary was beautiful.

We had to take a cable car up to the mountain top. And lots of walking and climbing up the stairs are required.
Lots of ancient buildings that were great for photo-taking.


We went to another outdoor chinese Guan Yin temple and this one is really breath-taking. The Guan Yin statue was really beautiful and is magnificent.

This Guan Yin temple is overlooking the sea, which i think the villagers built this so that Guan Yin can protect those fisherman while they are at sea.
Another nice building that we didnt go .... cos we dont have any more strength left to climb up this long flight of stairs... it is such a long way up. We went to look for Let's sea - a nice resort that I saw in a spa magazine... the one that inspired this whole Hua Hin trip... and it was really nice... just that the location was ulu and there are no amenities around this resort... this one caters to those who really just want to relax and rest in a nice place.

Went we finally reach our hotel after a long day, we were given a real surprise. The hotel sent ina surprise birthday cake for dan... and how did they know about it???? They detected his DOB thru his passport when while we were checking-in..... and they made a point to show that they care. Great way to really please a customer i should say...Just some last photos of the resort that we eventually stayed in - sofitel central.

End Note : To my dear -Life may be full of ups and downs, but being with you makes the ride worthwhile.
