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. |

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!

There are numerous sightseeing opportunities in and around
Hua Hin and Cha-am. In addition to several wats, temples and
palaces, there are natural attractions like 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 one or more tours operated by one of the tour operators
in the area. (Read more...) |

Pampering and revitalizing oneself at a spa is high on the
agenda of many visitors to Thailand. All spas provide revitalising
treatments that can include massage, reflexology, aromatherapy,
hydrotherapy, acupressure, body wraps, re-contouring and a
variety of specialized treatments for hair, skin and face.
Many spas also have restaurants attached with 'spa cuisine'
menus designed to control weight and to provide a healthy
diet that is balanced and nutritious. Most of the spas around
Hua Hin are connected to hotels and resorts, but there are
a few 'stand alone' places without accommodations. (Read more...) |

For many visitors to the Hua Hin area, golf is what's on their minds - and they are never disappointed. There are seven courses within a thirty minute drive of Hua Hin and for those willing to travel a little further there are an additional 10 courses available. It all started in 1924 with the creation of the Royal Hua Hin Golf Course adjacent to the town's snazzy little railway station. Designed by a Scottish railway engineer named O.A. Robbins, Thailand's first golf course is reminiscent of links courses found in Robbins' native Scotland. (Read more...) |
