Travel Thailand Haiku - Hua Hin December Fisherman's Pier Poem by john tiong chunghoo

Travel Thailand Haiku - Hua Hin December Fisherman's Pier



only the roar of waves
december Hua Hin's
fishermen pier

royal holiday island
the sea pounds on
like Thai politics

the king's holiday island
loud as a royal welcome
the waves

Hua Hin some three hours from Bangkok down south is famous for its beaches but not the crowd of Pattaya, a more established beach holiday destination. Many restaurants here are built out to the sea so that as one dines, one can see the strong december monsoon waves come crushing in. the pier is quiet as fishermen do not go out to sea. the red and blue fishing boats forlornly dance, bob up and down, with the waves.
