CITY GUIDE

Hua Hin

Hua Hin is Thailand’s classic seaside resort city: easy to reach from Bangkok, relaxed enough for long stays and varied enough to combine beach time with markets, golf, temples, seafood and day trips into the wider Prachuap Khiri Khan region. The central beach and railway-station side form the historic heart, Khao Takiab adds temples and a quieter southern coastline, and the wider area opens towards Pran Buri, national parks, waterfalls and countryside. Hua Hin feels less like a one-purpose beach town than a comfortable coastal base with a long-established local and domestic-tourism rhythm.
