Are you a globetrotter looking to unwind in one of the most exotic resorts with an impeccable history of having attracted tourists for the last 70 years? Welcome to Hua Hin, a five-mile coastline resort. For the avid traveler who is looking forward to a getaway with a spiced up nightlife, this is the destination. When the sun goes down in Hua Hin, this secluded resort has a plethora of activities to offer. One could opt for a Filipino flavor by checking out the Satchmo Club that features a Filipino band while a Mexican mojito provides zing to the evening...a perfect way to relax far from the humdrum city life.
The beach is over five miles long and surrounded by some of the best, yet least expensive, golf courses in the entire world. The city itself was discovered more than 80 years ago by King Rama VII. He chose the place as his home away from home when he wanted to escape the heat and humidity of the capital city. Once King Rama built his palace in what had up until that point been a fishing village, other Siam nobility were soon to follow - which fueled the growth and popularity of Hua Hin. The king's palace - called Klai Kangwon, which means "Far From Worries" - remains an official royal residence and popular attraction to this day. Public tours are easy to arrange - even when members of the royal family are staying there!
Be careful outside the palace, however, because security is very tight and any type of public intoxication or other bad behavior near the palace is dealt with very strictly by the local police officers. While the main tourist activity is to lie out on the sandy beach and have locals bring your drinks or provide massages, there are sites to see when you've decided you've had your fill of fun in the sun. Most of the wealthiest families in Thailand have built their summer homes near the palace or on the beach, which means there is beautiful architecture to see as you stroll around and explore Hua Hin. Khao Takiap is a large hill that is filled with beautiful Buddhist temples and offers the best overhead view of the city, the port and the ocean. It is a four-kilometer hike, so you may want to rent a bike or motorcycle to take you to the top.
The Hua Hin railway station is one of the oldest stations in Thailand and is so beautiful that it is considered one of the country's landmarks. The Spirit Houses of Brassiere Beach has a really odd history. Legend has it that the daughter of a local fisherman was eaten by fish because she was too beautiful to live in the world. Today, men and women leave brasseries on the beach in order to ask the gods for good luck. Namtok Pa Lau is an 11-tier waterfall located about 30 miles outside of town. It is easy to get to by bus, and is particularly popular on hot and humid days.
The Cha Am animal rescue center has also become quite a popular attraction between those that are familiar with the area. This somewhat small rescue center came to be when Thai authorizes asked the owner of the land if he could care for two injured animals. Since then, the center grew and grew, and today it is home to a relatively large variety of animals. Visitors pay no entrance fee, but donations are welcome, and also very much appreciated. One can also volunteer to help out at the center, be it for just a day, or be it for a few weeks or months.Enjoy your exciting thing at Hue Hin Resort.
