Sitting on the west coast of the Gulf of Thailand, Hua Hin is a beach paradise home to all varieties of resorts, activities and interesting cultural adventures. Located just 170km, or a 3-hour drive south-west, from Bangkok, this beach-side town grew its popularity initially from being a frequented spot by Thailand’s Royal Family. Today it combines the attractions of a modern Thailand holiday destination with the charm and quaintness of a still active fishing port.
