Traffic in Hua Hin is becoming an escalating problem as the number of cars on the roads here increases every year.
The once sleepy fishing village gets completely swamped with SUV's from Bangkok every weekend and public holidays, this coupled with the increasing number of motorists living here can make for some scary road encounters. In the year alone three new motor dealerships have opened up so the trend is likely to continue.
Whether in a car, on a motorbike, bicycle or walking you should be have some basic road awareness in Hua Hin as motoring here is a far cry from what you will be used to in the west. You drive on the left in Thailand but as you are about to find out things are not all what they seem on the roads.
