195 km from Bangkok, Hua Hin in Thai means 'Stone Head'. That is actually a land mark of this resort town. To the left of the main beach stands the name-sake, a big boulder on a pile of stones. To the right, stretches the fabled beach of Hua Hin an expanse of sandy beach reaching away to the distant Khao Takiap Hills.

In the early 20th century, King Rama VII built a summer place here, and thus the place gained tremendous popularity among the elite class.

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.
