Hua Hin holidays

Hua Hin is one of the oldest and most traditional of the Thai resorts, having been chosen by the king in 1920 as an ideal getaway from the heat of Bangkok. To this day, it keeps its royal endorsement and is a popular escape for locals, expats and tourists alike, offering a good balance between Thai culture and tourist facilities. Hua Hin, with a pleasant climate all year round, has an 8km-long pretty and clean beach, a large number of golf courses and spas, and is nearby to waterfalls, caves and national parks. Most hotels here can be reached within two hours drive from Bangkok.

Explore the Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park

Away from the beaches of Hua Hin is the Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park, also known as 'The Mountain with Three Hundred Peaks', an area of mountains, mangroves and wetlands. This diverse landscape attracts a range of bird species, especially migratory water birds between January and February. One of the park highlights is the Phraya Nakhon cave, reached by a short but demanding walk; the interior of the cave and the beautiful Pavilion built here by King Rama make the effort worthwhile.
