Hua Hin - Tours of Thailand Beach

Hua Hin enjoys a legacy of being the first real beach development in Thailand, as it has served as a second home location for the Thai royal family. Its proximity to Bangkok was probably the reason it was chosen as the royal retreat and the reason today that it is the playground of Bangkok’s affluent movers and shakers. Hua Hin boasts a large number of spectacular golf courses, and for any serious golfer/traveler it would be considered a “don’t miss.” In addition to the many vacation home and condominium developments, there are a large number of luxury accommodations available. The beach at Hua Hin is average at best, as the water lacks the stillness and sparkling clarity found in many other Thailand Tours beach destinations. However, it still remains a very interesting place to visit, especially for the luxury hotel and golf aficionado.

Getting There:

Hua Hin is a drive from Bangkok lasting 3-4 hours.

Weather:

Generally speaking, November through March is the best time to visit. April and May are the hot and dry months while June through October is the rainy season.


Accommodations:

Hua Hin definitely specializes in luxury accommodations. There is a plethora of hotels and resorts ranging from very nice 4 stars to 5 star-plus, ultra-luxury hotels.

Activities:

Hua Hin is definitely known for its fantastic array of golf courses. An easy drive from Hua Hin allows visitors to visit Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park. This park, which name means “Mountains with 300 peaks,” is a lovely spot bordered by the Gulf of Thailand on one side and Myanmar (Burma) on the other.


Beaches:

The city of Hua Hin is built around one very long beach.
