Hope to arrive late May / early June for 3 month (+?) trial

Greeting all!  Jim here.  I hope to arrive in Thailand for a three month trial, with Hua Hin as my target, based upon what may be out of date information (just posted a question to that effect elsewhere...)

I'm retired, after a career that took me all over the world, including four times to Thailand.  The first I was able to take a week off work before heading home, and explored Chiang Mai back in '91, but didn't go trekking as intended due to a severe cold.

I am multilingual, and would intend to add Thai as a (starter) 6th language with studies during my time there.  I lived half my childhood in two countries in Latin America (completely bilingual in Spanish, my second language.)  That made it easy to go a little off the beaten track in my first two "retirement exploratory" visits, Mexico and Argentina.  I enjoyed both, but there were things that didn't click.

I enjoy music (blues/jazz/R&R, classic, tango, bossa nova, etc.) and a wide variety of sports.  I could swim before I could walk, so being close to the ocean again will be an anticipated pleasure.  In Argentina last year I started recovering the golf I last played in 1972, but not the tennis I also quit around the same time.  I won't list the many others, other than to say they are not the traditional team sports most Americans play growing up.

I hope to get active in a range of activities that do not involve sitting in a bar.

I hope I can find someone able to first confirm that Hua Hin still offers the things that made it sound attractive (my other post), and suggest where to look for a quiet, beach front apartment at a rational cost.

I look forward to meeting all of you in a couple of months!

Jim
