I'm heading to Thailand for two weeks in April 07 and I'm wondering if it's worth taking my gear with me. Has anyone kited there and what time of year? I've heard Hua Hin is ok.

Any info from personal experiences would be great.

Was there last April. I was in the Phuket area and there was nothing but Hua Hin was getting steady winds but not to strong. Expect 14 to 20 knots.

hua hin is the spot at that time

ive been there out of season, its a bit less touristy ala patong or bangkok style, very cheap accomodation and living available.

you will need ur light wind gear

Hi there,
I have been to Kho Pa Nhang in january 2005 and took my first lessons there. I believe it is a good spot, but we also had days without wind. There is an IKO kiteschool there (don't know the name), check with them about the wind during your vacation.

Island is very nice with nice beaches and good places to go.
I would not recommend Kho Samui, terrible with tons of even more terrible tourists!

Have fun there!
