About the apartment



Baan Suanrimsai' is a quiet 2 bedroom 4 fl apartment, modest size 62 sq m accessible by lift from the main entrance, public areas and corridors are open and wide.
The apartment  faces the attractive Thai style Wara Bura hotel below.

The Sea is visible to the right and there are hills to the left. 
While there are other residents and holiday makers the property rarely feels busy, you will often have the pools and fitness center to yourself.

The apartment has a main bedroom and a small bedroom which has folding doors that open up to the lounge, with the doors open you can sit in bed and watch the TV, this small bedroom is ideal for children or a single adult.

Cooker:
The Kitchen area has most basic items needed for cooking, the cooker has 2 induction rings.
Only induction pans should be used on this cooker, available in the bottom cupboard.
There is a main power switch  at the back of the cupboard under the cooker.

Water:  
Security should switch on the main water tap which is outside of the apartment, in a cupboard 
in the corridor.

The main kitchen tap water is fine for washing and cleaning but not drinking.
The small thin tap on the left side of the sink has filtered water and is good for drinking, 
if in any doubt you may prefer to boil water before drinking.

Water in the bathrooms is not for drinking but is safe for brushing teeth and washing etc.

Electric
Mains is 240 volts.
There is a mains power and fuse switch in the cupboard above the microwave.
You should not need to use this but it's there should something trip out.

A torch should be in that same cupboard.

Local places


There are plenty of places to visit and things to do.

The 7/11 mini store is across the road and has most essential items, 

There are several coffee places, small restaurants, local markets and places nearby worth exploring.

Andreas'
An excellent 5 star Italian restaurant, un pretentious.
Saturday's are fun when Andreas shows youngsters how to make their own pizza, starts 12 midday.
(5 minutes on the green minibus, towards town) 

Corner coffee'  directly across the road is nice, Peter speaks English fluently having lived in the U.S for many years, good coffee and light snacks.

Tamarind Market'  is a must... 
Just past the Amari hotel open during early evening from Thursday / Friday through Sunday. 
Find a table then visit the many food stalls, everything is very reasonably priced and
there is often live music.
(Turn right 5 minutes walk)

We like Bello Dolce Ice cream which is made locally, see their tuk tuk in the market and at locations all over town.

Cicada Market & Arts CenterYou can walk to the Cicada Market & arts center,
You'll find many local arts and crafts available, be prepared to negotiate the price.
Feast Thailand offer an interesting review 
(Turn right, 7-8 minutes walk)

Feast Thailand offer tours of some of the less well known Thai eateries around Huahin combined with a touch of Thai culture. Not expensive and a terrific experience.

Take Five' 
Bar and lounge opposite the Amari Hotel is worth a visit for it's excellent Indian food, with sport shown on large screens and live music, it's family friendly and a good place to meet local expats. 
Well worth asking about their weekly buffet.
The owner 'Sam also arranges local golf events.
(Turn right, 3 minutes walk)
