The Tiger Airways plane was delayed for almost 30 minutes. Such delays seem to be a norm for budget airline and we hoped it will not happen on our return flight. The journey took 2 hours to reach Bangkok. We took a taxi and headed to Pathumwan Princess Hotel for a night stay. While Raeyen was recovering from fever, Kieran was still feverish.

Had breakfast at the hotel, checked out MBK shopping mall, bought some stuff before taking our transport (a mini van) to Hua Hin. The journey took 3 hours while Raeyen napped. Paid Baht 2,500 per way for the transfer, which is considered reasonable. The Sheraton Hua Hin Resort & Spa looked spectacular as we arrived. We checked into our room, which was just as impressive. We had a relaxing dinner by the pool that evening (albeit some mozzie bites).

We went to the beach and then the sprawling pool (1.2m surrounding the resort), basked under the sun, had drinks and snacks by the pool. The kids were enjoying themselves! We went to the downtown shopping mall to buy some stuff, hubby bought 3 Adidas tees and he was very pleased with the cheap genuine purchase.

Another relaxing day as we put the boys at the Star Club (kids club) while we went for an hour spa in the hotel. Hubby had a full body aromatherapy massage and I had a green tea full body scrub. It was exhilarating! After the spa, we had a chocolate fudge cake and a cuppa at the cafe next to the spa before picking the boys. What a life! At night, we took the hotel shuttle to the night market. Binged on local food (very cheap) and bought some clothes and music CDs.

Dipped into the pool again before we checked out. Had the same transfer back to Bangkok International Airport. After the 3 hour journey, we were quite hungry, had sandwiches and ice-cream at the cafe bar in the airport before going to the departure gate. Alas! The tiger was delayed again by another 30 minutes. Raeyen began to show signs of restlessness. When we got to our seats... there was a pool of vomit where Raeyen is supposed to sit! It was a very unpleasant experience and we decided not to take budget airline again.
All of us enjoyed the holiday, Kieran loved the pool and the place very much. However, I would like to revisit the Le Meridien at Khao Lak again.
