Hua Hin Hotel - Thailand accommodation hotels guide
Located on the sunrise side of the Gulf of Thailand, Hua Hin lies some
200 kilometres or a three-hour drive southwest of Bangkok. Adding distinction
to Hua Hin's coastal setting, is its status as Thailand's most traditional
beach resort. It was here, in the 1920s, that King Rama VII built a summer
palace, thus creating a vogue among high society for Hua Hin to become
the favourite retreat from Bangkok's summer heat. Today, the present Royal
Family continues to reside at Hua Hin for part of the year. Hua Hin is
similarly noted for its magnificent beach, running from a rocky headland,
which separates it from a tiny fishing port, and curving gently for some
three kilometres to its southern point where Buddhist temples cling to
the cliffs. Hua Hin is a well-established beach destinations, with full
facilities. But unlike Pattaya, on the opposite shores of the Gulf of
Thailand, Hua Hin provide a quieter, more relaxed retreat amid surroundings
which preserve a typical Thai ambience. Hua Hin is well suited for families
or for those who wish simply to escape city bustle.
