Hua Hin (“Rock Head”) is a beautiful resort in Thailand located about 200 km from the capital. Originally a small fishing village, it became a royal seaside resort. It is this presence that allowed it not to be overdeveloped and retain its charm. A seaside resort with many possibilities, it offers both luxury holidays, as a peaceful place for retirees or to spend holidays “like at home”. During the day, enjoy the pleasures of the beach and idleness or practice one of the many sports for which it is fully equipped, like golf, horse riding, karting, or surfing. Or take a walk to its very end, Khao Takiab (“Chopsticks Hill”), and after enjoying this splendid beach, you can climb up to the gigantic Buddha which you could see from the city. By late afternoon, when the air is sweeter, you can stroll to the old fishing harbour where you will find a series of piers on which excellent seafood restaurants are located. A pleasant evening! If you prefer the bustling night market, orient yourself to the city centre. Surrounded by a lively crowd, you will walk among the stalls with bright colours where you can enjoy a delightful snack while lounging or stop at one of the many restaurants lining the market.

As its neighbour, Cha Am, Hua Hin easily gives you access to two magnificent national parks. In the National Park of Khao Sam Roi Yod, a short boat ride will take you to a deserted beach, from where you will access the famous Phraya Nakhon cave, much beloved by the kings of Thailand and in which Rama V built a small pavilion.In the National Park of Kaeng Krachan, one of the largest parks in Thailand, you can discover the Pala-U waterfall from where the water rushes down 16 successive falls and the surrounding forest is populated by gibbons and rare bird species. Near the Pala-U Waterfall is a Karen village, which was founded there about 200 years ago by Burmese people.
