Hua
Hin (Tourist Attractions)
 Located
on the sunrise side of the Gulf of Thailand, Hua
Hin lies some 200 kilometres or a three-hour drive
southwest of Bangkok.
Adding distinction to Hua Hin's coastal setting,
is its status as Thailand's most traditional beach
resort. It was here, in the 1920s, that King Rama
VII built a summer palace, thus creating a vogue
among high society for Hua Hin to become the favourite
retreat from Bangkok's summer heat. Today, the
present Royal Family continues to reside at Hua
Hin for part of the year. Hua Hin is similarly
noted for its magnificent beach, running from
a rocky  headland,
which separates it from a tiny fishing port, and
curving gently for some three kilometres to its
southern point where Buddhist temples cling to
the cliffs. Hua Hin is a well-established beach
destinations, with full facilities. But unlike
Pattaya, on the opposite shores of the Gulf of
Thailand, Hua Hin provide a quieter, more relaxed
retreat amid surroundings which preserve a typical
Thai ambience. Hua Hin is well suited for families
or for those who wish simply to escape city bustle.
