Hua Hin
This small resort is the only lodging on Hat Sai Noi. The beach is nearly deserted on weekdays, though it's very busy on weekends, and their 300B daily access pass means it's not just the beach that gets busy. Rooms are large and comfortable, although the all-white interior is a bit jarring.
The sea view from the priciest rooms is very limited. They have bikes for guests and there's a free shuttle into town four times a day. Weekday prices cost 900B less. Pets are allowed in some rooms.
