A Trip To Hua Hin, Thailand

By Oscar Whilled


The Hua Hin seaside resort city of Thailand is a popular weekend tropical getaway destination for both the local Thais and foreign travelers alike. With its beautiful tropical climate and overall pleasant atmosphere, it is easy to see why Hua Hin is of the most well loved beaches in the country.

The best time months to visit Hua Hin would be from November up to February. If you're really craving for tropical weather then you can visit from March up to May.

What makes Hua Hin a standout is that it is close to the Thai royalty because it was discovered by King Prajadhipok in the 1920s. What was once a fishing village became the beach that Siam nobility visited. The Klai Kangwon Palace (which means "Far From Worries") was built by King Prakadhipok in 1928. With its white sand beaches and comfortable resorts, Hua Hin is popular to locals and travelers alike. Snorkeling, windsurfing, and scuba diving are popular in the area.

A 2.5 hour drive from Bangkok will take you to one of the Hua Hin resorts. You can also catch a flight from Solar Air in Don Muang Airport, Bangkok to Hua Hin.

You will find that there is only one long beach in Hua Hin. It is about 3 kilometers with a rocky headland in the southern parts with the Khao Takiab hill located nearby. The hill is home to Buddhist temples and provides you with a captivating view of the entire beach.

Aside from the famous Hua Hin resorts, you can also visit other famous tourist spots that can help you make the most out of your experience there. The Hua Hin Arts and Crafts Centre for one is an old house on the Naepkhehat Road. It is home to the contemporary art of Thai artists as well as traditional Thai furniture. You can also drop by the Hua Hin Railway Station which is known to be the most beautiful train station of Thailand, built in 1968. Take a great look at the sea and a picturesque ornamental garden at the Spanish inspired Klai Kangwon Palace. Take a trip to Hua Hin and relax your worries away.
