"Expats in Hua Hin often find the language barrier to be the most challenging aspect of the local culture. Additionally, the cultural norms and expectations can be difficult to navigate, as they are often quite different from those of the expat's home country. Additionally, the local cuisine can be an acquired taste, and the hot and humid climate can be difficult to adjust to," explained one expat living in Hua Hin, Thailand.
