After long road trip with friends from China. I want to take a short break with my family and travel to Prachuabkirikhan. Actually, I just came back from Hua Hin with my Chinese friends. But my mom wants to go to the beach then we agreed to take her to KHAO TAO as we all visit Hua Hin many times. This time we have one more relative joining the trip, so mom has buddy with same age. 

Actually, our relative got cancer. She has to get Chemo on schedules, but she is always full of energy and always travel with us. She just has to take medicines on time and avoid sweet,salty,sour and spicy food. Just live less worry and enjoy life. 

7th September

We left Bangkok around 08.00am. My mom most excited for this trip, normally we take her travel every 2 months to change atmosphere and enjoy visiting new places and try difference foods, see difference things (as long as she can walk as now, she is 74 years old)

She actually like to visit café and take photos like other senior people but young at heart 😊

We stopped at a small but lovely café DOK MAI PRATU JAE KAN (actually name in Thai).

I chose this café because it is not too big but look nice and they have variety menu which my mom can drink.

We arrived café around 09.00am and they just open so not crowded yet.

I ordered Pink Milk for mom and ice chocolate for our relative (both with less sugar). And a piece of lemon cheesecake for them.

After finished drink and cake, we continued to Hua Hin and stopped again at the palace. The ticket is only THB 90 per person to see around palace on ground floor.

They provide wheelchair so we let mom use as the distance from entrance to place take around 200 meters.

Unfortunately, it was raining so we can visit just some place under the roof as we did not bring umbrella

We took some nice shots for them at the palace

And then left for Hua Hin for lunch

Our lunch was at Chom Café and Restaurant. This restaurant is a branch of the same restaurant name originally in Chiang Mai (I’ve been there and really like their food).

We got last table as it was lunch time so there were lots of people. The restaurant quite big but maybe it is Saturday, so a lot of people travel to this area and come to this restaurant for lunch as well.

Our table is outdoor, but the weather was so good, so we were enjoyed

I ordered few menus which two ladies can eat as they cannot eat too spice, to sticky meat or vegetable

So, crab meat in red curry is one good option

xdbnw75ymh86

While waiting for our food, I got some nice shots from their garden

After rain, the garden look more fresh

The prices of their food not too expensive so we will come again if we visit Hua Hin next time

From restaurant to our hotel took only 20 minutes

I booked BLUE SKY HUA HIN (but location on KHAO TAO BEACH). We stayed BLUE SKY in Ranong and also in Khao Khor and we love all of them. This is first time for this hotel.

The hotel is located by KHAO TAO BEACH

I booked rooms on ground floor then mom and our relative do not need to climb up to 2nd floor

They have big swimming pool

Few people enjoy walking and swimming at the beach but may be too early because it was around 4pm so not many people on the beach

I walked on the beach to take some shot of the waves

And return to sit and relax at the restaurant

So, we enjoyed dinner by the beach

But for 2 ladies who cannot eat BBQ, we ordered some menus for them, but I was too late to take photos as they started tasting them as soon as they served :)

After dinner we return to the room for shower and relax

And I sit with my laptop to check some works before going to bed

05.30am I woke up a bit early than normal. Because I checked the sunrise in this area will start from 06.09am and I want to get nice photos of sunrise

Then went back to my room to pack all stuff and prepare for breakfast.

qhny8tao267p

Since this resort is small so before we walk to restaurant for breakfast. We stopped by at the small corner of lobby to take this family shot. Their staff so kind to helped us get this nice shot. You can see everyone smiling including our relative who hold The BlueSky resort board. She got cancer since around 2016. But she still enjoying her life.

We left Blue Sky Resort around 09.50am and heading to visit a lovely cafe which located around 10 minutes from resort. Two 73 years old ladies from our family love to take photos especially at cafe.

And by coincidental, I got information about the Children with Multiple Disabilities foundation in Cha Am which is on the way to Bangkok.

Then we stopped by at supermarket and bought some stuff for them

We never visit this place before. They are 48 multiple disables boys and girls and 5 staff take care them all.

We met Mr.Nhoo (20 years old) who has talent about music. He can play many songs even he cannot see anything. His parents cannot take care him, so they send him here. 

He is a friendly guy and keep talking with us. I told him if I travel to that area I will visit him again. We spent around 30 minutes there talking with him and some other girls then left. 

It was a great weekend. We had great time at nice hotel, beautiful beach, delicious food and also, we shared some love to other people.

Travel is not only going exactly on the plan you have. But you should be happy with everything even it just small moments and keep it for your memory. Because happy times come and go but the memories stay forever. 

And my next page of memory will be with a trip during 21-23 September to Phetchaboon!!
