 == Get around ==
-There are many ways to get around in Hua Hin, Sawngthaews run the same routes all day and cost only 10 baht. There are numerous motorcycle taxis and tuk-tuks, fewer car taxis. Negotiate price beforehand, but you will not get a tuk tuk for less than B100 over any distance (unless you are lucky) if you are a Western tourist. You will also be able to find samlors (rickshaws). There are quite a lot of upscale tourists in Hua Hin and prices are sometimes adjusted upwards. Better to clarify the matter ahead of time. Motorcycle rentals are readily available. Hua Hin is very flat, and bicycle is a good way to get around locally. Rentals available, but not so prevalent as motos.

 And if that's not confusing enough, most of the larger streets tend to change names altogether every few kilometres. Sukhumvit is called ''Sukhumvit'' on one side of the tollway (roughly east), but it becomes ''Phloen Chit'' just before you cross Witthayu Road (aka ''Wireless Road'') going towards the river. Keep going just a few more streets and it becomes ''Rama I Road'' (or ''Phra Ram Neung Road'') after you pass Ratchadamri Road. But if you were to turn right onto Ratchadamri, in just a few blocks you'll find yourself on ''Ratchaprarop Road'' (past Phetchaburi, aka ''New Phetburi'', which is called ''Phitsanulok'' closer to the river). Got it?
-Fortunately, there's logic to these name changes: most of them are neighbourhoods. It wouldn't make sense to call the road ''Sukhumvit'' if it's no longer running through the Sukhumvit area, would it? (Yes, it would) Thus, Sukhumvit becomes ''Phloen Chit'' where it runs though the Phloen Chit area. It's when you're able to grasp the city in terms of its neighbourhoods that it both becomes more navigable and more charming. Likewise, Pratunam and Chatuchak are much more than just markets; they're neighbourhoods, each with their own distinct character.

 Related to this last point, compass directions are not widely used by Thais to navigate in Bangkok. That's probably because they aren't very useful; the city's Darwinistic layout, the changing street names, the winding river, and the lack of obvious landmarks all conspire to confuse your internal compass. Thus, asking for directions in terms of "Is that west from here?" will probably earn you little more than a confused look from a local. You're better off to familiarise yourself with the neighbourhoods and navigate to and from them. "How do I get to Thong Lo?" will get you there faster than asking for directions to ''Sukhumvit Soi 55''.
