Hua Hin Sports & Activities

Hua Hin has lots of fun activities to offer apart from spending lazy days on the beach resting and recuperating, and visiting its attractions. Shopping is always a winner, and Hua Hin’s markets are the perfect places to shop for souvenirs and the beautifully-made crafts Thai people are so famous for. It also plays host to a number of big events throughout the year, like the Hua Hin Jazz Festival, water sport enthusiasts are spoiled with a wide variety of activities, and it’s also one of the few places in Thailand where you can go horse-riding on the beach.

Hua Hin Day and Night Markets

Virtually all of Thailand's traditional handicrafts can be found in Hua Hin. There are also numerous opportunities to purchase art, artifacts, antiques, reasonably priced clothing, handbags, sunglasses, costume jewelry, beach gear, DVDs and even prescription glasses. Some of the best places to head to where you can found all of this (plus wonderful food and much, much more!) are the day and night markets, where bartering is the norm. Simply sport a big smile and maintain a friendly approach if you want to achieve the best prices.

Hua Hin Water Sports

For kids, banana boat rides offer hours of fun and shrieks, while grown-ups can enjoy water sport activities like water-skiing, jet skis, sailing, windsurfing, and parasailing. With the beaches here being so wide an open – and almost never really crowded – how about a game of frisbee or beach volleyball? There’s also snorkeling, kayaking (nearby at a national park) and diving excursions can be arranged. If these sound like all the ingredients of a perfect beach break, you’re absolutely right!

Hua Hin Events & Festivals

Apart from celebrating Thailand’s most famous festivals like Songkran (the Thai New Year or Water Festival) and Loy Krathong (The Festival of Lights), Hua Hin also plays host to a number of other fantastic events. These include world-class performances at the annual Hua Hin Jazz Festival, the International Thailand Kite Festival and a Vintage Car Rally, both also held annually. So, if you’re planning to head out this way, with a bit of planning your visit can even coincide with one of these fun events. (Read more...)

Horse Rides

There’s something terribly exciting about riding a horse on a beach, and it’s probably got something to do with the fact that there are so few beaches in the world where you’re allowed to. For little people there are ponies at both Hua Hin and Cha-Am’s beaches, and proper horses too. These are not wild horses that will gallop off at terrifying speeds leaving clouds of sand behind – they’re very tame and well-trained to offer visitors an enjoyable experience.

Golfing in Hua Hin

Hua Hin’s world-class golf estates have all the makings of any golfer’s dream experience. Set amongst spectacular scenery, designed by legends like Jack Nicklaus and often offering a real challenge to your golfing skills, a round of golf at any of these specially-selected courses will be a reminder of all the reasons why you took up golf in the first place.
