Nearby Attraction
     Hua Hin is located approximately 200 kms southwest of Bangkok Recently upgraded highways provide for a leisurely three hour drive to Thailand's oldest beach resort area. Hua Hin first became popular as a summer retreat in the 1920's with the construction of the railway line from Bangkok. A beautiful colonial style railway hotel was built near Hua Hin's famous rocks in 1923 and the area finally became well establlshed as a beach resort when King Rama VII built a beachside palace named “Klai Kangwon” ther in 1926 Thai Royal Family members still customanly spend vacation time there.

     Hua Hin also boasts Thailand’s first golf course (still in use as the Royal Hua Hin Golf Course after some 70 years.)

     Hua Hin is unlike most other beach resorts in Thailand. If you are looking for bright lights and frantic all night action you will be disappointed there. It is very much a family holiday resort area with good shopping and multi – national restaurants including, of course, the best Thai seafood the country has to offer.

     Apart from its fabulour beaches, Hua Hin is best known for its cotton products, which come in a wide range of prints and colours, and its dried seafood products which enjoy enduring appeal among those who favour Thai and Chinese cuisine. A nightly street market in Hua Hin town is a favourite venue for shoppers.
