Hua Hin, a popular beach resort, lies in the north of the Malay Peninsula and is a district of Prachuap Khiri Khan Province in
Thailand. Blessed with a tropical climate and warm temperatures throughout the year, Hua Hin offers travelers a multitude of wonderful attractions and thrilling activities.
Exploring Hua Hin
A perfect way to start the day is with a visit to Wat Tham Khao Tao. Going in the morning is best as there is a bit of a climb to the top, it is more than worth it. At the top, there is not only a large statue of Buddha but also breathtaking views of the ocean and the fishing villages below.
After this, you will be taking a trip back to the middle of last century by visiting Plearn Wan shopping centre. Roughly translating to ‘pleasant past’, Plearn Wan is a cool, vintage shopping destination designed to look like Hua Hin in the olden days, complete with wooden buildings, old cars and period-style shops selling food, treats and clothes. It is a unique experience and a great way to imagine what life was like before the tourists came and brought their multi-story hotels with them.
A walk along Hua Hin beach
Stretching for some six kilometres southward towards Kao Takiap, where a lovely Buddhist temple awaits to be explored, Hua Hin Beach is a great place to watch the sun rise and build up an appetite for breakfast. Go for a swim or simply walk along the fine sandy beach and look forward to a spiritual visit at the temple.
Sail to Sam Roi Yod National Park
There are several different boat trips on offer at Huan Hin - Pranburi. Cruise the Gulf of Thailand in a traditional boat, have a refreshing dip in the water, go fishing or simply save your energy for Sam Roi Yod National Park, the trip's ultimate destination. Bring a bag of peanuts or some fruit so you can feed the park's greedy little monkeys.
An evening stroll to Hua Hin Railway Station
Arguably
Thailand's most beautiful railway station, this wooden building was once the royal pavilion in Sanamchan Palace in the Nakhon Pathom Province. It was moved to Hua Hin in 1968 to become one of the world's most romantic railway station buildings. There is always something interesting to watch and it is a great place to soak up Hua Hin's atmosphere before turning in for a nightcap.
Finish the day with a stroll in Hua Hin Night Market
Hua Hin's famous Night Market is located between the railway line and Petchkasem Road. The market springs to life around 6.30pm, when traders begin to set up their colourful stalls. The street food is amazing here and there are plenty of opportunities to find a few gifts for family and friends back home. You will also find some of the town's best seafood restaurants in the market area.
