"The more credit you give away, the more will come back to you. The more you help others, the more they will want to help you." – Brian Tracy _ Monkeys 🙉 on Monkey Mountain in Hua Hin, Thailand. _ The long sandy beach stretches for miles in Hua Hin, with a long narrow tide pool that runs parallel to the coast. I could have been mistaken thinking I was looking at a glassy lake, but it was the ocean. _ At the southern end of the beach is a small rocky outcrop teeming with macaque monkeys🙈🙊. _ This town is more popular with locals, but a relatively undiscovered gem for international tourists. Well worth including on any trip to Thailand. _ Our hotel, @amarihuahin, was located just a short walk from the beach and their private beach club, @shorelinebeachclub_huahin. _ #naturelovers

"Reflect upon your present blessings of which every man has many not on your past misfortunes, of which all men have some." - Charles Dickens _ Reflections of Monkey Mountain. More formally known as Khao Takib Hill in Hua Hin, Thailand. _ If you look carefully you can see the 20 meter golden Buddha statue facing the sea. On top of this hill are large groups of cheeky macaque monkeys. 🙈🙉🙊Thus the name. The panoramic views of Hua Hin are spectacular. 😍 The time-worn temple at the top of the hill, accessible via 100 steps, is believed to hold an important relic - a tooth of Buddha. _ If you like monkeys then this is the place for you. _ We accessed Monkey Mountain via a relaxing horse ride along the picturesque sandy beach from our hotel, @amarihuahin. A convenient and comfortable base in South Hua Hin. _ If you feel inspired by my IG posts, please share them on your IG stories (little triangle button below).

Of course the slides and pool bar are appealing, but my favorite feature?...

"The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any." - Alice Walker _ The incredible Phraya Nakhon Cave in Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park about 45 mins south of Hua Hin, Thailand. _ The Kuha Kharuehat pavilion was built in 1890 for the visit of visit of King Chulalongkorn the Great (Rama V). Not many tourists have the privilege of witnessing this majestic cave because it takes quite a bit of effort to reach. _ After driving from Hua Hin, we caught a boat from Bang Pu Beach to the remote Laem Sala Beach (alternatively visitors can hike 2kms through a very challenging trail). From here it's 430m up a steep and very slippery path - easier said than done. I almost ended on my rear at least 3 times. My singlet was saturated with sweat in the tropical 100% humidity. _ But this view was worth it all. _ #naturelovers #amazingthailand
