The charming, tranquil resort of Hua Hin attracts tourists with its clean sandy beaches, pineapple groves and crystal clear sea. This place is the oldest resort in Thailand, as was already known in 1920. Thanks to the well-developed tourism infrastructure, high level of service and picturesque landscapes, the resort is very popular. Night life there is practically no tourism here, so a holiday in Hua Hin is perfect for couples with children or older tourists.
Hua Hin on the map of Thailand
Hua Hin is located 280 kilometers from Bangkok. Geographically, the resort is located on the opposite side of the famous Pattaya. On the map you can see that the resort consists of two islands connected by a bridge. There are two main streets in Hua Hin - Petchkasem Highway, which runs along the coast, and Damnoenkasem Street.
Hua Hin Hotels
Accommodation for tourists in Hua Hin is mostly represented by hotels, the prices for rooms are considered slightly higher than at other resorts in the country. Despite this, you can always find inexpensive room in local hostels and guesthouses, of which, unfortunately, there are not many. Most of the hotels are located along coastline, but there are also those that are located at a decent distance from the beaches.
It is worth noting that Hua Hin is popular place For wintering, as a rule, many come here for several months. Therefore, there is always the possibility of renting housing, which can be done at home via the Internet, or while on vacation in Hua Hin. The latter option is much more convenient; you can immediately examine several options on the spot and choose the most suitable one.
Beaches of Hua Hin
Perhaps the main advantages of all the beaches of the resort are that they are not crowded, clean and peaceful.
City Beach, which has a total length of almost 6 kilometers, is distinguished by clean white sand and shallow coastal waters. The main entrance to the beach is at lane 61 soi. The only McDonald's in Hua Hin will help you get your bearings.
On the way to the beach, tourists can visit the open market, where you can buy everything that will make your stay on the beach more comfortable, from swimsuits to air mattresses and umbrellas.
Various cafes and snack bars are scattered throughout the beach, where you can always eat delicious food and enjoy refreshing drinks. Lovers active rest will be able to ride banana boats and water scooters.
Kao Takiab Beach located just behind Monkey Mountain, where the city beach ends. The sand on this beach is black, which does not really attract foreign tourists. Thanks to this, prices here are much lower for both food and water activities. The beach area is quite shady and spacious.
Suan son- magnificent, practically wild beach, located on the territory military base famous for its picturesqueness. Here is the kingdom of centuries-old pine trees and peaceful silence. It is better to take food and beach mats with you. On weekends the situation changes dramatically as the beach fills up local residents who love to relax here with children.
Sai Noi Beach considered a real pearl among the surrounding beaches. A small cozy lagoon, surrounded on both sides by picturesque mountains. On one of the hills rises ancient temple and a statue of a seated Buddha made of gold. While relaxing on this beach, you can perfectly combine swimming with a visit to such an ancient shrine, where you can climb the stairs.
Sights of Hua Hin
The main attraction of the resort can be safely called its provincial atmosphere, which charms and makes you forget about the hustle and bustle and everyday life. But it really is here interesting places for visiting. For example, Railroad station Hua Hin is considered the most beautiful building in Thailand.
It was the construction of the station that allowed the city to develop and become what it is today. One of the features of the station is that at the beginning of the 20th century, next to the main building, a Royal Hall waiting area, where members of the royal family spent time waiting for the train.
Wat Ampharam Temple
This temple is the main shrine of Hua Hin. The temple is not a masterpiece iconic architecture, this is a completely ordinary building. However, its practical use is very important. Wat Ampharam is at once a monastery, a temple, a cemetery and a crematorium.
Every visitor can visit the temple, regardless of what faith he belongs to. Every morning, near the temple, monks in saffron or red robes accept donations from residents.
Hua Hin Safari & Adventure Park
A few kilometers from the resort center there is a beautiful amusement park, which also known as the elephant village. Visitors can ride ATVs, ride a horse, play paintball, and watch snake and crocodiles shows. However, the main highlight of the park is the elephants.
Young elephants play the harmonica, draw and give massages. Also, anyone can ride on an elephant, but it is worth noting that this pleasure is expensive.
Sam Roi Yot National Park
A visit to this place will be interesting for both big and small, as the park includes several interesting attractions. It was founded in the 60s of the last century and occupies an impressive area of 98 square kilometers. On its territory there are caves, mountains, beaches, temples, and of course, magnificent exotic flora and fauna.
It would be better if you set aside 2-3 days to visit the park. To explore it, you can rent a vehicle, since the park itself is located 50 kilometers from Hua Hin. However, if desired, this can be done with a group of tourists by purchasing a tour.
The resort has been little studied by our compatriots. But despite this, tourists believe that this is a great place for family vacation, as well as people who are tired of the noise and bustle popular resorts Thailand. However, there are also disadvantages - without knowledge in English it will be difficult for you to communicate with local population or hotel staff.

There are no problems with food; local cafes and restaurants offer a wide selection of dishes from both local and European cuisines. Many of the catering establishments have night buffets where you can not only eat, but also enjoy a performance of classical Thai dance.
Just like in other cities exotic countries, in Hua Hin you should behave very carefully. Especially when visiting various crocodile and snake farms, where for greater safety it is better to avoid feeding and other contacts with their inhabitants.
Some photos from Hua Hin resort
But I would like to visit it. And the first question is where is Hua Hin and how to get to it from Bangkok or other places in Thailand?
We share the most convenient, low-cost options that are affordable and affordable.
Where is Hua Hin?
Rarely does a city in Thailand boast such a favorable, convenient location for tourists and developed transport infrastructure, like Hua Hin. The city stretches along the federal highway - just 220 kilometers from the capital of Thailand, Bangkok, on the western shore of the Gulf of Thailand.
See the location of Hua Hin on, as well as on the Google map:
The Royal Resort's proximity to Bangkok gives it many advantages, including transport. To exaggerate slightly, we can say that all roads lead to Hua Hin: roads, railways, and until recently, also air. True, the flights have now been cancelled, apparently as unnecessary.
So, how to get to Hua Hin from Bangkok?
Minibus from Bangkok to Hua Hin
One of convenient options- regular minibus from Victory Monument.
Since October 2016, all minibuses departing to Hua Hin have been moved to.
Victory Monument
On bus station, located next to Victory Monument BTS Station, is very easy to get to from anywhere in Bangkok. Along the entire perimeter of the square there are parking lots of mini-buses that go to different cities Thailand. Bangkok-Hua Hin buses are located to the left of the metro exit. However, it’s better to ask - they will definitely tell you.
Flights to Hua Hin are every half hour, from 5 am to 7 pm. The fare is 180 baht. And here travel time depends on many factors: traffic jams, the driver’s efficiency, the presence or absence of stops for lunch, toilet, gas station. We got there for 2.5 hours, and almost for 4
.
In Hua Hin, the minibus arrives at a small station in Soi 72, a five-minute walk from the city center.
Minibus tickets can be purchased upon departure, or in advance, from the 12GoAsia website - for the same 180 baht.
By the way. You can also get to the capital from Bangkok to Hua Hin, but we have never used this option: it’s too inconvenient.
Bus to Hua Hin from the airport
Comfortable bus from Bangkok airport to Hua Hin
If you intend to immediately go to Hua Hin upon arrival in Thailand, without a break, there is a very convenient, hassle-free way. By bus from international airport Suvarnabhumi.
The bus leaves from exit No. 8 (this is the first floor). Does it in a day seven flights: at 07.30, 09.30, 11.30, 13.30, 15.00, 16.30, 19.30. The schedule, however, may change, so it’s better to check the information; you can buy tickets in advance on this website.
The fare is about 300 baht. Travel time is from 3 to 4 hours. In Hua Hin, the bass arrives at the bus station in Soi 96/1 (this is near the center and Market Village).
I note that buses from the airport are much more comfortable than minibuses.
Train at Hua Hin station
How to get to Hua Hin by train
Another nice form of transport to Hua Hin is a train or electric train. By train you can come from Bangkok or, for example, from Surat Thani, and therefore from Phuket, Samui, Phangan, Krabi, if with a transfer.
Travel around railway has both pros and cons. So, getting from Bangkok by train to Hua Hin is not very convenient, it takes too long. The stated travel time is about 5 hours. But from personal experience We know: trains in Thailand - with rare exceptions - have a habit of being late. Once we got from Phetchaburi to Hua Hin instead of one hour - more than four!
However, if you are heading to the Royal Resort from the south of Thailand, then the best way You can't imagine anything better than a sleeping car on a train.
Here are our impressions of a trip on a Thai train - albeit in the opposite direction:
The railway station is the calling card of Hua Hin. The building is like a toy, and the coffee from the road is very good. Nearby, on the highway, taxi drivers and bikers are on duty around the clock. They will take you anywhere in the city at any time.

Hua Hin also boasts its own airport. There was a time when planes flew here from Bangkok Don Mueang Airport. But now the flights have been cancelled.
