What this video covers
Bobby and his crew anchor their yacht in Hua Hin, Thailand, during early July.▶ 0:29 The Gulf of Thailand experiences significant tidal ranges, reaching 10 to 11 feet, which necessitates long walks across the beach at low tide.▶ 2:06 The crew uses a Highfield Sport 360 dinghy for shore excursions, though its weight makes beaching difficult compared to lighter models.▶ 1:36 During their stay, the crew hikes to Buddhist temples located on a steep hill, noting the presence of local monkeys and the requirement for modest dress, including covered shoulders and knees.▶ 4:28 The crew visits the Cicada Night Market, an upscale weekend market located a five-minute walk from the beach, where they find dining and live entertainment.▶ 11:21 The crew reports that Hua Hin is cooler in July than in March, benefiting from overcast weather.▶ 13:14 After their stay, the crew plans to weigh anchor and sail south toward Koh Samui.▶ 13:23
