Hua Hin is a district in Prachuap Khiri Khan
Province located 295 kilometers
from Bangkok and 90 km from the
provincial capital. It boasts a large market, and is full of food and souvenir
shops as well as hotels. Beaches are located in the east of the province, and
the main pier is on Highway No.4 at 232km. The beach at Hua
Hin is 5 kilometers long, and full of white sand and
clear water, ideal for swimming.
Located on the
sunrise side of the Gulf of Thailand,
Cha-am and Hua Hin are
quiet relaxed coastal towns, perfect for family vacations. In contrast to Pattaya, across the Gulf, these sister resorts lack the
bustle of an international playground and instead afford a quiet escape. Both
resorts boast long uncluttered beaches, while Hua Hin, larger than Cha-am, has the added attraction of a
traditional fishing port. Neither places attempt to imitate the international
scene and are content with an enduring Thai identity. Hua
Hin, incidentally, is Thailand’s
oldest beach resort, enjoying a vogue among Thai royalty and aristocracy since the
1920s. The main joys of both resorts are a peaceful time lazing on the beach
soaking up the tropical sunshine, the fun of a variety of water sports and a
delight in relishing some excellent seafood dining. Click on the thumbnails to
