Hua Hin
Hua Hin is the oldest and traditional resort in Thailand. Compared to most other holiday destinations in the country that attract mostly foreigners, Hua Hin is a resort that is home to the joy and Thai tourists. While the islands of Phuket and Samui were much later rediscovered by Tourism Hua Hin is a favorite resort in Thailand for over 70 years.
The resort was opened in early 1920 by King Rama VII, as an ideal place to escape from the enormous metropolis bustling Bangkok. This peaceful fishing village had the honor of becoming the Royal resort and consequently gained popularity among Thai highest class.
Construction of railway line from Bangkok to facilitate access to the resort and makes it even more popular among the Thai public. But the fact that it has received royal assent gives it a really special character. In 1928, King Rama VII built a palace Klai Kangwon (translated means “Far from worries”), which to this day remains an official royal residence. It is still often used by members of the royal family and is open to outsiders.
Hua Hin continued his development as an aristocratic resort with a new attraction – golf fields. Many wealthy and famous residents of Bangkok built their own summer houses on the beach and relaxing family holiday resort with a unique identity.
Today’s visitor to Hua Hin can feel the magic and charm of this special atmosphere while to find so many entertainment options. Immense clean beaches, abundant water sports, walking through beautiful parks, caves and waterfalls – these are just some of the adventures that await you during the day.
Golf is also one of the main attractions at the resort – although Thailand has not yet been rediscovered as a golf destination, 5 miles long beach has built the largest golf course in Thailand. In the evening we recommend a walk along the colorful array of local stalls and shops, then enjoy a delicious Thai cuisine restaurant in a pile above water.
