Hua Hin
is where the city meets the sea
Welcome to Hua Hin
Thailand’s original beach resort is no palm-fringed castaway island and arguably is the better for it. Instead, it's a refreshing mix of city and sea with an almost cosmopolitan ambience, lively markets, good golf courses and water parks, international cuisine and excellent accommodation. In fact, many visitors never even step foot on the sand.
