The name Hua Hin – ‘rocky head’ in Thai - is derived from the rocks that can be seen on the beach in front of the Sofitel Central Hotel. It has a 5-kilometer beach lined with a variety of private beach houses and 5 star resorts. The beach stretches some 7 kilometres from the hill in the south called Khao Takiap, where the famous temple Wat Khao Takiap is located. The beach is wide and long with white sand and scattering rocks in some area. Some parts of the beach can be tranquil but activities such as horse riding, kite boarding, and water sports can also be found here.
This popular resort town is about 200 kilometres south of Bangkok and can be reached by car, train and flight. It offers a wide range of beachfront accommodation, good golfing, and seafood galore.Part of Prachuap Khiri Khan Province, Hua Hin is becoming increasingly popular, although it has all but escaped the gaudy excesses of Pattaya and Patong. The town boasts accommodation to suit all budgets, with a good selection of resorts spread along its white sandy beach. Golfers can enjoy the 72-par Royal Hua Hin Golf Course for a reasonable non-member’s fee.
