Hua Hin, a guide to discovering the city

Located just under 200 km from the Thai capital, Hua Hin remains a seaside resort prized for its beaches, its heritage and above all its many entertainments.

  • Name in Thai : หัวหิน
  • Distance from Bangkok: 206 km
  • Population: 63,000
  • Province: Prachuap Khiri Khan
  • Main activities: tourism
  • High season: December - April (least rainy months)
  • Number of days there: 4 days.
  • Main attraction: beaches

constructed in a colonial style and is covered in red paint, giving it a very special cachet.

The other major turning point for Hua Hin came in the 1980s. It was at this time that investment began to flow in and the entire coast was gradually invested.

Today, Hua Hin is both a city where many people come for a weekend break from the hustle and bustle of the capital and a holiday destination for many retired Westerners.

The city offers a clever mix of seaside fun and a significant heritage that requires a little time. A destination to discover for a few days, just before heading off to the City of Angels.
