Hua Hin: A Beach Resort In The Thai Style || SofiaHotelHuahin

One of two significant beach resorts, Hua Hin is the quietest of the two and is only two hours drive from Bangkok. Its vibrant, distant cousin, Pattaya, is located across the Gulf and is far more action-packed.  It is the "first" beach resort in Thailand with a touch of royalty.

Hua Hin, however, is not a secluded location and offers a wide range of activities. Thousands of Bangkok families, both Thai and foreign, use this place every weekend. People seeking a more "Thai" experience should go here in particular. This Hua Hin travel guide discusses the positive (and negative) features of the city.

 

Hua Hin: What We Love About It

This Hua Hin travel guide aims to demonstrate to you how this town, which is a truly "Thai" resort, is unlike any other beach resort in Thailand. It was initially constructed as a Thai refuge from Bangkok.  Even today, there are still far more Thai users than foreign users. This area also houses the long-established Klai Kangwon Palace, which King Rama IX frequently visited.  It was constructed for Thai rulers to get away from Bangkok's stress. More than any other significant beach resort in the nation, Hua Hin's substantial foreign influence is tempered by its Thai culture.

 

Weekdays are quiet.

Because the majority of Hua Hin hotels on the beachfront and resorts cater to Thais escaping Bangkok on weekends, most have minimal occupancy throughout the week. For international visitors who are not constrained by job hours, it offers an intriguing contrast.  Additionally, it offers extended periods of peace and quiet following each Saturday-Sunday rush. Between weekends, Hua Hin beach, hotels, and restaurants are all incredibly quiet, and of course, the service is that much better.

 

Bangkok is nearby Hua Hin.

For foreign travelers with little time, Hua Hin is the perfect getaway due to its close proximity to Bangkok.  South of the capital, the travel takes about 2.5 hours. Excellent for anyone looking to extend their Bangkok vacation with a few days at the beach. Hua Hin's calm atmosphere also stands in stark contrast to Pattaya, another popular destination near Bangkok. If you skip Bangkok's rush hour, many cabs will arrive in Hua Hin in under two hours. You could also ride the train. A little, exquisitely preserved 19th-century station is called Hua Hin Railway Station.  truly going back in time.  Driving to Hua Hin is faster than using the train.

 

Famous seafood eateries

Eating at the restaurants that overlook the river in the center of Hua Hin is a long-standing custom.  Bangkok locals who want to get away for the weekend have been following it for centuries. A visit to Hua Hin is not complete without dining in one of the six stilted restaurants that line the main stretch of the beach. Recently, some families have been compelled to look for alternative seafood restaurants due to the traffic and parking challenges in the congested central streets.  The eateries here are still very busy on the weekends. With them, you can eat dishes that are 100 percent authentically Thai.

 

A little bar area

Hua Hin is sometimes referred to as a "royal" resort or as a more authentic Thai resort. In spite of its affluent beginnings, there is a minor beer and girly bar culture here.  a sort of red-light district with softcore. Given that the neon bar sign with the female images is located right in the center of Hua Hin, it seems logical that it should be hidden from view in such a revered town. If you're curious, explore the little, winding alleyways between the well-known seafood restaurants that are located over the water and the Hilton Hua Hin Hotel, which is located behind the main street.

A good selection of lodging

Hua Hin provides charming modest inns, budget-friendly family hotels, enchanting boutique resorts, and opulent 5-star resorts. Hua Hin Beach is typically not where the smaller, less expensive bungalows and guesthouses are located, whereas almost all of the upscale resorts are in fact actual beachfront properties.

Additionally, the majority of mid-range hotels are not on the coast. Be cautious because some of the busy, large roads must be crossed.  The luxurious beach resort located in the heart of Hua Hin is unquestionably the most well-known.  The Centara Grand Beachfront Hotel Hua Hin was formerly known as the colonial-era Railway Hotel and has since undergone renovations while retaining its original design.
