Thailand’s original beach resort is no palm-fringed castaway island and arguably is the better for it. Instead, Hua Hin (หัวหิน) is a refreshing mix of city and sea with lively markets, good golf courses and water parks, excellent accommodation, and an ambiance that just keeps getting hipper and more cosmopolitan. In fact, many visitors never even step foot on the sand.

For a long time now has been a destination for city dwellers seeking a short-range beach resort getaway.

Some of this started when King Vajiravudh (Rama VI) built Mrigadayavan as his summer palace making Hua Hin the Kingdom’s first getaway destination.

Many things followed such as The Railway Hotel and the King also commissioned A.O. Robins, a road maintenance engineer, to build a golf course on the land opposite the railway station and guests soon flocked to this ever-increasing seaside resort.

Today the city continues to expand and is recognized as a world-class destination with countless accommodation from five-star hotels to casual guesthouses.

Hua Hin has great weather for most of the year and really is a perfect destination for travelers looking for a relaxing time or even a round or two of golf.
