What to See in Hua Hin Beach
Hua Hin is first and foremost a beach destination; nevertheless visitors are not short of some worthwhile sightseeing locations. One of the most attractive aspects of this town is the old-world charm that surrounds it. The preferred holiday choice of the royal family and now home to the king, it has been well preserved in order to protect its historical heritage.
In addition to several temples and palaces, there are natural attractions such as caves, waterfalls, isolated beaches, mangrove swamps, mountain vistas and a variety of animal life. Although it is possible to use public transport to reach some of the attractions, those without a set of wheels often take tours operated by the agencies in the area.
