Once a sleepy sea-side town, Hua Hin now boasts all the modern amenities needed for a wonderful holiday, yet still retains its Thai charm in the small side streets and old town area. There is a Royal Palace here so the nightlife is more sedate, the array of restaurants, bistro's and shopping opportunities dictate as can be seen by the over-whelming presence of couples of all ages...

 

In fact, Royal Hua Hin golf course was the first 18 hole course in the kingdom, designed by A.O.Robins, a Scottish engineer, back in the 1920's. Hua Hin really specializes in golf so there are not that many non-golfing activities and other places of interest to visit but it can be included in our "Down the Elephant's Trunk" touring adventure if you would like a little bit of "Western" during that trip.
