Travel Photo Thursday — December 28th, 2011 — Being a Beach Bum in Hua Hin Thailand

Welcome to another week of Travel Photo Thursday. On this last Travel Photo Thursday of 2011 I want to say thank you to everyone who made Travel Photo Thursday such a success in 2011. Happy New Year and all the best in 2012!

To join in the Travel Photo Thursday fun simply post a photo on your blog. Return here and place your link in the Mr. Linky at the bottom of this post.

Please post a link to a post featuring a travel photo, not simply a link to your blog.

As a courtesy please post a link to Budget Travelers Sandbox. 

If you do tweet a shot, please use the hashtag #TPThursday.

Since December 23rd I have been a beach bum in Hua Hin, Thailand. Located a two hour drive outside of Bangkok, and home to the Thai Royal family summer residence, it’s a perfect spot for a beach holiday. Here are a few random shots I took today…

  1. Oh, please, can I be a beach bum, too? The only thing I”m missing from these pictures is the guy selling silk scarves.

    I had already seen these photos on flickr. I particularly like the first one. I’d choose a warm Christmas and New Year over a white one any day.

  13. Being a beach bum sounds really good to me right now (especially since I’m nursing a cold). Guess I’ll have to settle for looking at your great pics instead.

  15. I have always loved a tropical Christmas. How lucky you are to be there right now. Wonderful pictures! I’m imagining being one of those in the massage beds. Happy New Year!

    Beach photos in the middle of the winter… since I just came from outside and I’m a little frozen, it’s just what I need!

    To all the participants to Travel Photo Thursday, Happy New Year!

    Being in Thailand is a good escape from the intense cold in the winterland. Your New Year must be perfectly warm. I wish to join this TPThursday real soon.
