I live and kite surf in hua hin Thailand, if you want to go kitesurfing in hua hin here is a few tips:
there are 2 main wind seasons:
1. NE wind winds, wind systems 12- 25 knots can come for a week and then off one week, good month for wind Oct - Dec
2. SE wind thermal wind consistent 15-20 Knots every day wide beach and flat -choppy water during Jan- May
the weather is good and you don't need a wet suit, but need to bring protection from jelly fish and sun cream.
for more information you can write on this forum and i will be happy to reply.
or you can get more in www.kiteboardhuahin.com .
I'm going to koh samet and then hua hin in January.
Do you guys rent gear?
I'm not taking my stuff but if its windy and i my wife lets me id love to get a kite in while im there.
in koh samet the conditions for kiting are not good and you won't find any schools or shops. in hua hin theres a few schools for renting / buying equipment and kitesurfing lessons.
i can offer some recommendations if you would like ?
Thanks for the reply.
Id like to know if i can rent equipment in Hua Hin.
I just looked at the website you included in your first post. Can i rent from there?
Hi, you can rent kitesurfing gear from there, you can just send a mail on the web site.
hope you will have good wind when you get there.
