Hua Hin Travel Information

Hua Hin

Some 281 kilometers south of Bangkok, Hua Hin, which literally means stone head in Thai, is Thailand's oldest beach resort. The area's clean, white sand, crystal clear water and tranquil atmosphere continue to attract tourists in search of peaceful and relaxing holidays. Originally known as Ban Laem Hin (Stony Point Village), Hua Hin earned its reputation as a a high-society resort when King Rama VII built his sumer palace there. Even today, the Royal Family continues to reside at the Palace for part of the year. The opening of the Railway Hotel (now the Sofitel Central Hotel), an elegant Victorian-style resort hotel, and also the country's first standard golf course marked the beginning of the city's transformation into the nation's first seaside resort. Despite its expansive growth and development as a luxurious destination, the original splendor of Hua Hin remains intact.
