Hua Hin, Thailand - Storm Approaching

This is Hua Hin taken from the small promontory in front of the Hilton hotel and overlooking the small bay where several fishing boats are moored.

There looks to be a massive storm approaching which has formed on the hills behind Hua Hin that form the boundary with Myanmar but the storm moved away and Hua Hin remained sunny.
