The town of Hua Hin is the original Thai resort, established by King Rama IV 70 years back. The summer palace of the King was built around the same time, and a railway line ensured that the resort town became accessible to the King as well as his subjects. The sleepy fishing village became a bustling holiday destination for the rich, much before Thailand's beach resorts were discovered by Western tourists.
Today, you can walk along the beaches and visit magnificent villas built by Thai trading classes and nobility as summerhouses in Hua Hin. The Klai Klagwon Palace still houses some members of the royal family, though parts of it are open to public visits.
Visit the old Railway Station building that now houses a hotel. The building dates back to 1928 and is built in typical old Thai architectural style. Dine at the restaurants built on stilts, and take in the panoramic view commanded from the heights. A casual stroll through the mazes of streets will take you past small shops and businesses selling everything from street food to clothes.
Hua Hin is also famous for its natural beauty. The town is dotted with parks and ponds. The surrounding tropical forests offer many adventurous holidays to campers and trekkers. Hua Hin is a complete family destination. You can indulge in water sports, polo, fishing, horse riding and trips to the Spas found in plenty in this resort. Apart from this, Hua Hin has many golf courses for the enthusiasts, and membership to any of these courses is among the lowest in the world.
