Long before Phuket and Pattaya, Thai royalty holidayed in Hua Hin — and it still has that calm, refined seaside charm. Just a few hours from Bangkok, it’s a favourite weekend escape: a long sandy beach, excellent food, golf, vineyards and a wild national park all within reach.
What to do in Hua Hin
- The beach and old pier — gentle sand and warm Gulf water, easy for families.
- Cicada & night markets — some of Thailand’s best, with food, art and live music.
- Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park — limestone peaks, marshland birdlife and the spectacular Phraya Nakhon Cave, where a royal pavilion sits in a sunbeam.
- Hua Hin vineyards — yes, Thailand makes wine, and the “monsoon valley” tastings are fun.
- Cha-am and fishing villages just up the coast for seafood.
Hua Hin is ideal for travellers who want the beach without the party scene — calm, comfortable and very Thai.
